    "content": "The overall goal of the policy is to achieve gender equality by creating a just society where women, men, boys and girls have equal access to opportunities in the political, economic, cultural and social spheres of life. Specifically, the policy intends to facilitate the implementation of the Constitution and domesticate the international and regional obligations and commitments that promote gender equality and freedom from discrimination, provide a framework to integrate and mainstream gender into the national and county governments’ development planning and budgeting as well as resultant policy programmes and plans including those of non-state actors, promote and support the rights-based approach when dealing with gender related matters and find the institutional framework and performance indicators for effective trafficking, monitoring and evaluation, and reporting of implementation of gender equality and women empowerment. Implementation of the policy is expected to result in achievement of equality and economic empowerment, equal rights and opportunities in socio-economic and political spheres for women, men, girls and boys, and equal rights in marriage, preservation of the dignity of women, men, girls and boys and acknowledgement and respect for diversity for all Kenyans. The policy under consideration in the Sessional Paper No.2 of 2019 may be reviewed after five years or in any other such time that the ministry responsible for gender shall determine. So, it is a document that we shall pass, but may be reviewed. Upon consideration of the Sessional Paper, No.2 of 2019 on National Policy on Gender and Development, the Committee made the following observations: 1. The National Policy on Gender and Development is a review of the National Policy on Gender and Development adopted by the Cabinet in 2000, like I said before. The policy outlines the national agenda for gender equality and how Kenya intends to realise these ideals. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
