About this project

The GEF Commitments Training was held on 16th November 2022 at the Ngong Hills Hotel from 9 AM-4 PM. In attendance were state and non-state actors from; The State Department of Gender, National Police Service, Children’s Department, KDCCE, Peace and Reconciliation, Nairobi County, DCC, National Government Administrative Officers- Kibra Sub-county, International Peace Support Training Centre, Polycare, CHVs, Kibera Joy Initiative, Amani Kibera, Imarika Youth, DIESK and Rafiki Program.

The session began with an Introduction to The Generational Equality Forum, an international platform that seeks to mobilize diverse stakeholders to accelerate the implementation of the gender equality commitments made during the fourth world conference on women held in Beijing in, 1995. The main aim for the commitments was to achieve transformative change on gender equality at all levels. With Kenya as a leader in the Action Coalition on Gender Based Violence, H.E. President Uhuru Kenyatta made 12 concrete Commitments at the Generation Equality Forum in Paris in June, 2021. The Commitments aim at increasing the momentum of ending all forms of Gender Based Violence (GBV) and Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) in Kenya by 2026. A five-year road map (2021-2026) was developed through a consultative process with State and Non-State actors in the gender space.
