UN Women Kenya Strategic Note 2023-2026

The Strategic Plan 2023–2026 will guide UN Women Kenya for the next four years, whose priorities are fully aligned to the national priorities, the United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperration Framework (UNSDCF) and the Global UN Women Strategic Plan.

 It articulates how UN Women will leverage its unique triple mandate—encompassing normative support, UN system coordination, and operational activities—to mobilize urgent and sustained action to achieve gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls and support the achievement of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

The Strategic Plan is based on key findings from an extensive consultative process and draws from the analysis of lessons learned and recommendations from evaluations, audits, and other assessments.

UN Women Kenya will focus on integrated approaches with seven systemic outcomes to address the root causes of inequality and affect broader systems change, across its thematic focus areas:

•  Governance and participation in public life;

•  Women’s economic empowerment;

• Ending violence against women and girls; and

• Women, peace and security, humanitarian action, and disaster risk reduction.
