Kenya: Gender mainstreaming in macroeconomic policies

This paper addresses the gender element within Kenya's current PRSP document. The authors - the African Women's Development & Communication Network (FEMNET) - argue that there is no detailed cognisance of the gendered dimensions of the proposed policies, or anticipation of gender implications of the outcomes in reference to the different poverty dimensions. FEMNET attributes this to an inadequate exposure to gender issues. In order to address this the authors argue for appropriate tools that would show expected outcomes of addressing gender equality.
