Background |

UN Women, grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, works for the elimination of discrimination against women and girls; the empowerment of women; and the achievement of equality between women and men as partners and beneficiaries of development, human rights, humanitarian action and peace and security. Through the normative mandate, UN Women supports the strengthening of global norms and standards. UN Women also promotes more effective coordination, coherence and gender mainstreaming across the UN system in support of commitments for gender equality and women’s empowerment; and as part of our operational mandate supports the Member States to translate the global norms and standards into legislation, policies and development plans at the regional, national and local levels. In Kenya, the UN Women Country Programme contributes to the development objectives of Kenya’s blueprint, the Vision 2030, the SDGs particularly, SDG 5 and is aligned to the United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework, as well as the UN Women Global Strategic Plan. The Kenya Country Programme - “Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment Gains Consolidated' - aims to achieve the following results: (i) Increased women’s leadership and participation in governance; (ii) Strengthened women’s economic empowerment; (iii) Increased protection of women against gender-based violence & access to justice for women; and (iv) Strengthened women’s leadership in peacebuilding and humanitarian response. UN Women Kenya coordination work seeks to enhance the sustainability and scalability of GEWE normative work, policy, and programmes, by ensuring government and UN System-wide accountability to gender equality and the empowerment of women through capacity development, policy, support, strategic planning, inter-agency coordination, resource mobilization, strategic partnership building as well as advocacy and communication.
