@gender_ke The Nairobi State Department for Gender and Affirmative Action, in partnership with @unwomenkenya , convened the Gender Sector Working Group for a capacity-building engagement on the importance of women’s leadership, with a focus on strengthening #WomeninLeadership at the county level, particularly in Nairobi. The engagement provided an opportunity to reflect on the persistent barriers that limit women’s participation, representation and influence in leadership and decision-making spaces, while identifying strategic priorities to advance meaningful and inclusive leadership for women. As we narrow the focus to Nairobi County, priorities call for more than increased representation. It translate into practical, county-level actions with clear responsibilities, measurable targets and accountability mechanisms that will advance women’s representation, participation and leadership in Nairobi and beyond. The conveniving amplified discussion around Strengthening Women in Leadership as a shared responsibility. It requires coordinated action between national and county governments, development partners, civil society organisations, communities and women leaders themselves to ensure that women are not only present in leadership spaces but are also empowered to influence policies, shape priorities, allocate resources and contribute meaningfully to decisions that affect their lives and communities. #WomenInLeadership #GenderEquality #WomenInDecisionMaking #GenderResponsiveGovernance #NairobiCounty #AffirmativeAction #WomenEmpowerment
