Suda Secretary for GENDER & Social Development8 ForewordThis is a standard TRAINING MANUAL on GENDER MAINSTREAMING developed in June, 2008.

5 It is informed by the findings of a TRAINING Needs Assessment and consultations with various stakeholders engaged in development activities. These cut across all the three sectors of society including the Public Sector, Government Ministries and State Corporations; Civil Society Organizations (NGOs, FBOs and CBOs); and the Private sector. This TRAINING MANUAL builds on existing and on-going work on MAINSTREAMING GENDER in the country. During its preparation a review of the Plan of Action (2008 2012) for implementing National GENDER and Development Policy was carried out and its contents incorporated intothe MANUAL will be used by the sectors mentioned above and as stipulated in the National GENDER and Development Policy, 2000. It has addressed gaps identified and incorporated all the suggestions and experiences as spelt out in the TNA report.

6 It includes issues of understanding GENDER , GENDER awareness and advocacy, human rights, and GENDER based violence, GENDER analysis, integration and GENDER MAINSTREAMING , leadership and governanceand GENDER budgeting. It is a practical guide for trainers in GENDER MAINSTREAMING and promotes experiential learning among adult learners. This is a step towards implementing the recommendations of the National GENDER and Development Policy, James W. Nyikal, MBS,Permanent SecretaryMinistry of GENDER , Children & Social Development9 Background of the GENDER MAINSTREAMING TRAINING MANUAL The Ministry of GENDER , Children and Social Development has the mandate of MAINSTREAMING GENDER into the development process. To enable the Ministry to carry out this mandate policies have been formulated and structures established to carry out the exercise. In spite of the existence of the policy instruments and institutional frameworks,programs on GENDER MAINSTREAMING have not been effective.

7 One of the reasons has been inadequate co-ordination of various initiatives on GENDER MAINSTREAMING . The other reason is absence of a standard TRAINING MANUAL which can be used by all stakeholders who areinvolved in GENDER MAINSTREAMING . However, remarkable efforts have been made by the Ministry of Agriculture (MOA) and Ministry of Education (MOE). Some of the best practices identified with them include a GENDER Policy, IEC materials development, GENDER officers in place, awareness creation and a GENDER based analysis of examinations at Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) and Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) level TRAINING MANUAL on GENDER MAINSTREAMING will be used to fulfill this purpose. It has been made comprehensive, simple and user friendly so that it can be adopted as the standard MANUAL for GENDER MAINSTREAMING TRAINING MANUAL on GENDER MAINSTREAMING was prepared through a process which included carrying out a field study and identification of TRAINING needs.

8 During the identification of TRAINING needs several policy papers and international conventions were reviewed. These range from international, regional and national legal and policy frameworks:International: 2000 -Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) 1995 -Beijing Platform for Action 1993 United Nations Declaration on Violence Against Women 1989 - United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) 1985 - Nairobi Forward Looking Strategies for the advancement of women (NFLS). 1984 - Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) 10 1966 - International Human Rights Law 1948 - The United Nations Universal Declaration on Human Rights (UNDHR)Regional: 1979 - The African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the African Child 2006 - African Plan of Action on GENDER Policy 2007 -Africa Union GENDER policyNational: 2000 -National GENDER and Development Policy which proposes mechanisms for theimplementation, monitoring and evaluation of the Policy.

9 Sessional Paper No. 2 of 2006 on GENDER Equality and DevelopmentThe content in the TRAINING MANUAL on GENDER MAINSTREAMING was identified through a review of the national policy papers and in particular the Plan of Action (2008 2012) to implement the National GENDER and Development Policy. The government recognizes that without a coherent and comprehensive framework for guiding MAINSTREAMING within the different sectors and ministries involved in development,the goal of GENDER equality and equity will not be overall objective of the policy is to facilitate the MAINSTREAMING of the needs and concerns of women, men, girls and boys in all sectors of development initiatives and ensure that they participate and benefit from the development process. The Sessional Paper No. 2 of 2006 on GENDER Equality and Development provides the operational framework for implementing the National GENDER and Development Policy.

10 The policy framework emphasizes the need to focus on empowerment strategies that demonstrate essential linkages within different Plan of Action (2008 2012) to implement the National GENDER and Development Policy(2000) was developed to facilitate the MAINSTREAMING of GENDER concerns in all areas of the development and to provide a basis for stakeholders to initiate programmes to promote GENDER equality in the country.
