Gender Responsive Budgeting (GRB)

The Kenya Female Advisory Organization (KEFEADO) organized a 3-day GRB training for members of county assembly (MCAs) of Kisumu county Gender Committee, County Directors and The Gender Technical Working Group Secretariat on respective days from 6th-8th July. We continue to foster strong partnerships with other like-minded organizations and the County Government of Kisumu in the journey of realizing equal opportunities for men and women.

It is highly critical to ensure that policies on gender rights are developed to bridge inequality gaps and ensure institutions respond according to the specific needs of the Special Interest Groups(PWDs, Women, and Youth)

We appraise efforts of the Director of Women, Youth, and PWDS affairs Department-Junior Omondi and Gender affairs Officer Adah Omedi for availing self during the 3-day training and their selfless efforts to ensure the gender policies implementation processes are fast track.

This training was supported by The SDG Kenya Forum funded by Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
