Gender Management Systems Training Manual

By targeting women as wives and mothers, other household members are helped, especially children.

However, the approach makes no attempt to tackle gender stereotypes. These programmes have therefore been criticised for maintaining the status quo.

Sees underdevelopment rather than gender subordination as the main reason for inequality between low-income men and women. Projects therefore aim to improve the material conditions of women’s lives –helping them to ‘catch up’ with men e.g. income-generation and skill training access, to marketing outlets, credit etc.

Introduced the concept of African Socialism and emphasised self-help community programmes.

Provided a policy approach of gender mainstreaming and empowerment of women. It emphasises the right of women, men, boys and girls to participate in and benefit equally from development processes. It provides a framework for mainstreaming gender in all policies, planning and programming in Kenya and institutional mechanisms to ensure effective implementation.

The commission works towards the reduction of gender inequalities and discrimination against all: women, men, persons with disabilities, youth, children, the elderly, minorities and marginalized communities. The Commission is an oversight body.
