i-icon World Bank Income Classification:Low Income The World Bank classifies economies for analytical purposes into four income groups: low, lower-middle, upper-middle, and high income. For this purpose it uses gross national income (GNI) per capita data in U.S. dollars, converted from local currency using the World Bank Atlas method, which is applied to smooth exchange rate fluctuations. i-icon Least Developed Country:Yes Since 1971, the United Nations has recognized LDCs as a category of States that are deemed highly disadvantaged in their development process, for structural, historical and also geographical reasons. Three criteria are used: per capita income, human assets, and economic vulnerability. i-icon Gender Inequality Index:0.575 GII is a composite metric of gender inequality using three dimensions: reproductive health, empowerment and the labour market. A low GII value indicates low inequality between women and men, and vice-versa. i-icon Gender Development Index:0.723 GDI measures gender inequalities in achievement in three basic dimensions of human development: health, education, and command over economic resources.

Access by women entrepreneurs to existing and emerging markets/procurement opportunities increased

In 2021, an increase by women entrepreneurs to access existing and emerging markets and procurement opportunities was realized. The Gender and Economic Growth Assessment in Kenya demonstrate that addressing gender barriers in Kenya could generate significant economic growth for the country. Women-owned businesses made a significant contribution to the Kenyan economy. Women businesses accounted for about one-half (48 per cent) of all micro-, small-, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs), which contributed around 20 per cent to Kenya's GDP. The reported value of tenders awarded to youth, women and PWD groups through public procurement was expected to go up by 16.0 per cent (KNBS Economic survey, 2021). In 2021, 257 institutions compared with 200institutions in 197 (AGPO secretariate reports) implemented affirmative procurement initiatives, monitored, and reported increased women’s access to procurement opportunities and compliance to women empowerment principles. This increase to access by women entrepreneurs can be attributed to the strategic partnership and collaboration between UN Women and with National Treasury through the AGPO program, Unstrereotype Alliance and WEPS.In 2021, the proportion of total loans to women-owned agricultural micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) rose from 6.2% in 2018/2019 to 14.1% in 2020/2021 through a strategic partnership with AFC. 800 women entrepreneurs were linked to markers and agri-finance through UN Women's partnership with AFC. 100 trained women benefitted from AFC low-interest loans to start businesses through the women's access affirmative window ogramme. In addition, 669 micro and small entrepreneurs affected by COVID-19 grew their business through Kes 5M revolving fund supported by UN Women. Through this, the revolving fund has grown to KES 6.5m by project end. Kenya launched the Women Economic Empowerment Strategy (2020-2025) with support from UN Women to increase women’s access to economic resources and opportunities. UN Women supported the launch of the UA Kenyan chapter that has resulted in an improved business environment through a coalition with 8 private sector organizations by countering gender-based stereotypes in the advertising/marketing and media industry. UN Women also supported the enabling of the policy environment for women through the WEE policy review, Agriculture Gender Policy, AGPO bidder's manual, AFC's Business Development Manual, and Groots/GSWG memoranda to counties. 12 additional companies in Kenya made commitments to WEPS in 2021 to promote gender equality and women’s empowerment in the workplace, marketplace, and community. The total number of signatories grow to 49 and 5500 globally. As a result of the strengthened regional UN private sector collaboration, the WEPS challenge fund grew the businesses of three female youth entrepreneurs through a USD 5,000 fund.
