    "content": "the programme and policy objectives of ministries and departments and the effectiveness of the implementation. The National Policy on Gender and Development had been done by the Cabinet in 2000. The one we have now under the Sessional Paper No.2 of 2019 is a review of the earlier one to align it with the provisions of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010. This policy is geared towards complying with Article 27 of the Constitution on equality and freedom from discrimination. The formulation of National Policy on Gender and Development considered the patriarchal nature of our society in Kenya, supported by statutory, religious and customary laws and practices thus impeding access to the goal of gender equality and women empowerment by administration and procedural mechanisms. The policy takes cognisance of the values and principles set out in the Constitution and legislations aligned to the Constitution. The national and county governments with varied functions should contribute to gender equality; Kenya’s Vision 2030 and the third Medium-Term Plan, the Big Four Agenda, international and regional treaties on gender equality that Kenya has ratified, Agenda 2063 of the African Union titled “The Africa we want” seeking among other things, to build inclusive and accountable states and institutions, lessons learned from the implementation of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and the Sustainable Development Goals under the 2030 agenda for sustainable development adopted by the United Nations in September 2015."
