Published purpose

This initiative is a sub-project of the Democratic Governance Fund and appears separately to denote that this component is a grant to the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women). The Gender and Governance Program (GGP) supports the Government of Kenya's efforts to mainstream gender equality into its strategies and programs and the strengthening of civil society organizations that channel citizens' demands to the government on gender equality issues. GGP provides technical support to government institutions and national gender institutions that contribute to achieving equal access to goods and services for women. GGP aims to engender national and local institutional policies and legal frameworks, increase women's participation in governance, and support civil society organizations that articulate the rights of women to have equal access to public services. The program has a wide range of stakeholders and partners, including the Government of Kenya, national and international donors, and civil society organizations.
