2022
Women's and girls' participation in conflict prevention and peace and security processes increased
UN Women remained steadfast in its commitment to advancing the Women, Peace and Security Agenda by advocating for women’s meaningful participation in leadership and peace and security processes.
Key results included:
Contribution towards 2022 peaceful elections:
During the electioneering period, UN Women as a key principle of UWIANO Platform for Peace, provided gender expertise to the platform during the development of the UWIANO 2022 Workplan, by ensuring gender was central to the strategy. UWIANO Platform for Peace is a conflict preventive strategy that provides space for a wide range of partners, actors, and stakeholders to build synergy and leverage their efforts for conflict prevention and peacebuilding in Kenya. Alongside other initiatives, it was instrumental in delivering relatively free, credible, inclusive, and peaceful in the 2022 general elections.
Over 3000 women participated in , and influenced the peace and security processes across the country by disseminating peace messages and advocating for the elimination of violence against women in elections (VAWiE). Their meaningful and active engagement in decision-making on election preparedness meeting through the multi stakeholder forums and and peace forums was preceded by training on the 2 nd Kenya National Action Plan (KNAP) on Women, Peace and Security Agenda, mediation, Early Warning Early Response mechanisms, and conflict analysis and resolution. These efforts c ontributed towards a peaceful election in August and a smooth transition of power in October.
Amplified women's voices i n conflict prevention and peace and security processes:
In Turkana, Bungoma, Kisumu, Samburu, Kitui, Kwale, Mombasa, Marsabit, and Baringo counties, the increased women's meaningful participation in conflict prevention and peace and security processes resulted in the inclusion of the implementation budget of KNAP II in the 5-year County Integrated Development Plans in nine out of forty-seven counties with UN Women support.
In Turkana and Marsabit Counties, the trained women submitted a petition to their respective Governors urging for the enforcement of the 2/3 gender rule, as provided for in the Constitution of Kenya. The petition also expressed concerns that women had not benefitted from current legislation on women empowerment, especially in the County Government.
In Turkana County, four women-led peace forums were established . The women were engaged by the county governments to address cross-border issues with Uganda and South Sudan including GBV cases and cattle rustling, which resulted in enhanced regional cohesion among the border communities. Additionally, the peace forums influenced the county government's decision to establish a new police post in the border area to strengthen women’s safety and prevent GBV cases.
In Bungoma and Kitui Counties, the women in the peace committee formed sub-county chapters of the national network of women in peace committees , which led to an increase of women in the County Peace Committees in the two counties from 30 in 2020 to 72 in 2022 representation in all 18 districts in Kitui, while in Bungoma the number rose from 28 in 2021 to 70 in 2022 in the 14 sub-counties. This is as a result of the enhanced training by CSO partners and active engagement in the multi stakeholder forums chaired by the County Commissioner.
In Kitui, Kwale, Mombasa, Isiolo, Marsabit, Busia, Kisumu, Homabay, Siaya and Bungoma 10 women were appointed by the County Commissioners in 10 counties to be co-chairs of the County Peace Committees . This resulted in an increase from 19 to 29 women as co-chairs across the country attributed to the enhanced training and advocacy through the National Network of Women in the Peace Committees.
220 peace committee members are actively engaged in the development of the Turkana County Action Plan and Garissa County Action Plan. The women were empowered with knowledge on Women, Peace and Security agenda to promote women’s participation in peace and security efforts and conflict resolution mechanisms. . Additionally, one of the trained women was appointed as the County Executive Committee member on Gender in Garissa County in 2022 and 11 women were for the first time in history invited to sit in and contribute to discussions in the "tree of men" , a patriarchal decision-making body in Turkana County.
Further, women from the National Network of women in Peace Committees in 33 counties, supported by UN Women, participated in a national-wide Peace Day during which women came out to demand peaceful elections from their leaders. Select women from the network i.e. Kitui, Uasin Gishu, Bungoma, Marsabit, Kwale, Mombasa, West Pokot, Busia, and Nairobi were later r ecognized by the H.E. President William Ruto for their role as peace champions during the Mashujaa day on 20th October 2022, additionally the Network Chair Mama Shamsa Abubakar was also nominated by UN Women as a peace champion and will be receiving an award from the Zayed Award for Human Fraternity in February 2023.
UN Women contribution: Provision of technical support through review and providing inputs to different documents including the draft county KNAP, lobbying the County Governments for inclusion of KNAP II implementation budget in the 5-year County Integrated Development Plans, and facilitating consultation sessions during the development of the KNAP at county levels. This is in addition to the provision of grants to CSO partners that have been leading on the KNAP II localization efforts and implementation in the different counties.
