This report by the National Gender and Equality Commission (2014) provides a comprehensive framework for Kenyan county governments to mainstream gender equality and inclusion into their development agendas. The guide emphasizes the integration of gender-responsive practices in planning, budgeting, policy-making, and service delivery at the county level. It highlights the importance of meeting constitutional requirements, such as adhering to the two-thirds gender rule, and advocates for inclusivity in leadership and decision-making.

The guide also outlines strategies for promoting women’s participation, addressing gender-based violence, and ensuring equitable access to resources and opportunities for marginalized groups. Furthermore, it provides tools for monitoring and evaluating gender equality initiatives and underscores the role of county governments in advancing national commitments to gender equity and sustainable development.
