FOREWORD
The National Gender and Equality Commission (NGEC) is a Constitutional Commission established by the National Gender and Equality Act. No. 15 of 2011 pursuant to Article 59 (4) & (5) of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010. The Commis-sion’s mandate is to promote gender equality and freedom from discrimination for all people in Kenya with focus on special interest groups, which include: women, children, youth, persons with disabilities (PWDs), older members of society, minorities and marginalized groups.
I am proud to unveil this new blueprint of the Commission’s strategic direction for the next five years. The Strategic Plan 2019-2024 comes at a time when the Commission has successfully weathered governance transitions heralded by the Constitution of Kenya 2010. Whereas the First and Second Strategic Plans were about grounding and consolidating the mandate of the Commission, this Plan builds on the momentum to upscale interventions geared at ensuring the integration of the principles of equality and inclusion in all spheres of life in Kenya.
This Strategic Plan deliberately draws a nexus between the Commission’s mandate and the country’s economic blueprint: Vision 2030 and the Third Medium Term Plan 2018-2022. Further, the Strategic Plan is aligned to Africa Agenda 2063, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the government’s priority Big Four agenda items with a view to informing interventions aimed at integrating the principles of equality and inclusion in national development.
The Commission’s revised Vision, Mission and Core Values in this Strategic Plan have been conceptualized to reflect the current needs and future aspirations on entrenching substantive equality and non-discrimination in the country. The Commission is committed to accomplishing its constitutional mandate cognizant of the fact that Kenyans have great expectations from us to ensure they live in a society free from all forms of discrimination.
We recognize initiatives done by other players in the sector and we will cherish appropriate partnerships, collaborations and linkages with those who have the same aspirations as us. It is also encouraging to witness recent legislative processes towards strengthening the equality and inclusion agenda.
I wish to sincerely thank the Commissioners and Staff of the National Gender and Equality Commission for their efforts and dedication in developing this plan. On behalf of the entire Commission, I thank all the stakeholders for providing support during the preparation of this Strategic Plan. Your commitment and dedication is highly valued.
DR. JOYCE M. MUTINDA (PhD).CHAIRPERSON

PREFACE
The formulation of this second Strategic Plan sets the direction that the Commission will take in the coming five years. It comes at a time when new Commissioners have joined the Commission after the expiry of the term of the first Commissioners appointed after the enactment of National Gender and Equality Act, 2011.
The Strategic Plan 2019-2024 sets an ambitious five point thematic areas matrix namely: compliance, monitoring and reporting, investigations and redress, public education and mainstreaming, research and knowledge management and institutional capacity that will guide its strategic interventions in discharging our mandate. These thematic areas have been aligned with the Government’s Big Four Agenda items with the aim of ensuring Special Interest Groups are part and parcel of the development and implementation of national goals.
The implementation of the activities detailed in this Strategic Plan will be accompanied by a strong monitoring and evaluation framework. Towards this end, the Plan has identified indicators to be used in monitoring and evaluating the implementation of the Plan. Reporting systems will be strengthened by involving all departments, incorporating lessons learnt and focusing on the impact of results achieved in any activities undertaken.
I acknowledge the efforts made by the Commissioners and the Staff of the Commission in the development of this Strategic Plan.
I am happy to note that the Strategic Plan was developed through an intensive participatory process, which enhanced joint ownership across the Commission. I look forward to effective implementation of what we have planned to do in the coming five years.
BETTY S. NYABUTO (MBS)COMMISSION SECRETARY

This second Strategic Plan (2019-2024) honours the past and addresses the present to develop the road map into the future.
The 2019-2024 Strategic Plan was developed through a participatory approach, which ensured that views of the key stakeholders were incorporated. The partic-ipation was through document review, interviews, discussions and consultative workshops.
A situational analysis was carried out to evaluate the past performance and the internal and the external environments in which NGEC operates. This analysis enabled the isolation of the key strategic themes that will be pursued during the plan period. The identified strategic themes formed the basis for setting of the objectives for the Commission for the next five years. The strategic themes identified are:1) Compliance, monitoring and reporting2) Investigations and redress3) Public education and mainstreaming4) Research and knowledge management5) Institutional capacity
To deliver on the identified strategic themes, the following strategic objectives were set out:1. To enhance and monitor compliance with the principles of equality and
inclusion in State and non-state actors

through research and knowledge management6. To attract, develop and retain skilled and productive human capital7. To enhance organizational capacity, effectiveness and efficiency8. To strengthen corporate governance and stakeholder involvement9. To strengthen financial capacity of the Commission 10. To acquire and maintain appropriate infrastructure and assets
To enable the achievement of these objectives appropriate strategies and actions for each strategy were identified. In addition, the implementing actors, the time frame, the expected impact and output indicators were determined. These have been documented in the Implementation Plan presented in Chapter Four of this Strategic Plan. As documented in Chapter 5, the Commission requires approx-imately Kshs.3.9 billion (excluding staff emoluments) during the five-year implementation period.
To facilitate achievement of the set targets, Annual Operational Plan will be developed. Further, annual key performance indicators that would help track the progress towards the achievement of the set objectives were identified. A monitoring and evaluation framework that will help enhance successful implementation of the Strategic Plan has also been provided in Chapter Six.

1.5 Treaties, Conventions and Protocols Article 2 (6) states that, "Any treaty or convention ratified by Kenya shall form part of the law of Kenya under this Constitution". Kenya has ratified and signed a number of treaties and Conventions relating to NGEC’s SIGs. These include; Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), Africa Union Agenda 2063, Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Convention on Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), Convention on Economic and Soci0-cultural rights (ECOSOC), Convention on Children Rights, Maputo Protocol, and any others relating to equality and freedom from discrimi-nation of marginalized groups. Ensuring compliance with these treaties, conven-tions and protocols shall form part of the agenda of NGEC during the Plan period.
1.6 NGEC and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) represent global commitment to ensure sustainable equitable development. The rallying call of “leaving no one behind” is in tandem with NGEC’s vision of a society free from gender inequality and all forms of discrimination.
NGEC is alive to the fact that, as part of implementing the SDGs, the Government has already published and launched its Road Map to achieving the SDGs. Furthermore, the domestication and integration of SDGs is imbedded in the MTP III 2018-2022.
As an oversight body, NGEC will monitor Kenya’s implementation of all SDGs with special focus to the goals No 5 ,10 and 16 which are: gender equality; reduced inequality; peace and justice and strong institutions respectively. The Commission will play a critical role in monitoring and reporting on the key achievement of targets in each of the SDGs goals.
1.7 NGEC Alignment with Africa’s Agenda 2063Africa Agenda 2063 is a strategic framework for the socio-economic transfor-mation of the continent over the next 50 years. It builds on, and seeks to accelerate the implementation of past and existing continental initiatives for growth and sustainable development. Agenda 2063 has SEVEN aspirations. NGEC is aware
NGEC 2019-2024 STRATEGIC PLAN | 17
that the Government has integrated and aligned the Africa’s Agenda 2063 aspira-tions with MTPIII. NGEC will monitor the implementation of the aspirations of Africa’s Agenda 2063 concurrently with the implementation of MTP III. The Commission is aware that Aspiration no. 6 speaks directly to NGEC’s mandate. This aspiration focuses on, ‘an Africa whose development is people-driven, unleashing the potential of its youth and caring for children. According to Africa’s Agenda 2063, Africa shall be an inclusive continent where no child, woman, or man will be left behind or excluded, on the basis of gender, political affiliation, religion, ethnic affiliation, locality, age or other factors. Africa of 2063 will have gender parity, with women occupying at least 50% of elected public offices at all levels and half of managerial positions in the public and the private sector. The economic and political glass ceiling that restricted women’s progress would have been shattered.
1.8 NGEC’s Alignment with Vision 2030Kenya’s long term development blue print: Vision 2030 aims to transform Kenya into an industrialized middle income country, offering a high quality of life to all its citizens in a clean and secure environment. The Vision has three pillars: economic, social and political. A lot of NGEC’s functions are within the Social Pillar. The Social Pillar seeks to build a just and cohesive society with social equity in a clean and secure environment. This calls for equitable development where everyone participates leading to inclusive growth and development in Kenya. The NGEC SIGs should be included in National Development. The Commission will monitor, facilitate and advice on mainstreaming of gender issues and inclusion of Persons with Disability, women, children, youth, older members of society, minority and - marginalized groups in National Development. It will also monitor, facilitate and advise on development of affirmative action implemen-tation policies, as contemplated in the Constitution, when it audits the status of these Special Interest Groups from time to time. Where affirmative action programmes have been instituted, NGEC will audit implementation to ensure the SIGs targeted benefit.
Vision 2030 is implemented through MTPs, this Strategic Plan coincides with the THIRD MTP 2018-2022. During the Plan period, NGEC will monitor and audit implementation MTP III , which focuses on Transforming Lives: Advancing Socio-economic development through the “Big Four”: Affordable Housing, Food Security, Manufacturing and Universal Health care to ensure inclusion and equality of opportunities though continued review of the policies that the Government will use to guide the implementation. NGEC will point out gaps or omissions to ensure that “no one is left behind”. A lot of effort will go to working with Private Sector organizations including Small and Micro Enterprises (SMEs) to ensure equality of opportunity. NGEC will report annually to Parliament and to the President on progress made to include youth, women, PWDs, minority and marginalised in groups aimed at equity and poverty reduction as specified in Kenya Vision 2030: MTP III.
NGEC 2019-2024 STRATEGIC PLAN18 |
1.9 NGEC’s role in the Big 4 AgendaNGEC has conceptualized interventions necessary for the integration of the principles of equality and inclusion in the big four agenda and placed a budgetary request to the National Treasury to commence the activity as follows: -

1.10 Rationale for the Strategic PlanThe Commission has been implementing its first Strategic Plan which was initially running from 2013-2015 but was extended to cover the period ending June 2018. This second Strategic Plan builds on the experiences drawn and lessons learnt from the implementation of the previous Strategic Plan. Key achievements and lessons learnt are documented in Chapter 2. This Strategic Plan will help the Commission to direct its efforts and resources towards achievement of its mandate. This Plan also provides a framework that will facilitate effective and efficient collaboration between the Commission and stakeholders. The Plan will facilitate identification and implementation of strategies that will enhance integration of principles of gender equality, equity and non-discrimination across all institutions and organi-zations in Kenya. Additionally, the Strategic Plan will facilitate monitoring and evaluation (M & E) of the Commission’s programmes and activities.
NGEC 2019-2024 STRATEGIC PLAN20 |
1.11 Expected Operating Environment/Planning Assumptions
This Strategic Plan is based on the assumptions that there will be no adverse changes in the legal framework governing the Commission’s mandate and that there shall be social and political stability in the Country. In addition, it is assumed that the country’s economic growth will continue on an upward trend and that stakeholders will support the Commission in implementation of the various programmes and activities.
1.12 Methodology of Developing the PlanA participatory strategic planning process was applied. The process involved desk review, interviews, discussions and workshops with staff, Commissioners and key stakeholders. These processes were aimed at consensus building and ownership of the Plan. The processes were also aimed at enhancing effective and efficient implementation of the Plan.

2.0SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS
A review of the first Strategic Plan was done by Deloitte Consulting Limited. They identified gaps in implementation of NGEC’s previous Strategic Plan as summarized in the table below;
Summary of the Gaps Mandate and Objectives
Inadequate Stakeholder Management
Measurability of Performance
Human Resources
• The mandate is not clear across the organization and some strategic objectives are directly linked to the mandate
• Programmes are not always clear on which strategic Objectives their activities address
• Stakeholder engagement has not been structured and has mainly been reactive.
• NGEC needs to evaluate stakeholders and develop an engagement structure
• The current KPIs do not adequately reflect the level of effort
• The KPI metrics cannot adequately measure success since measurable targets were not set
• There is a shortage of staff in all programmes
• There are also some skills gaps that need to be addressed
• Roles are unclear in some cases and staff perform tasks as and when they arise
Balancing Capacity & Functions
Processes & Integration Funding Distinction of
Roles
• NGEC targets to execute a wide set of functions using its current staffing and financial resources resulting in an imbalance
• Majority of the Departments do not have formalized processes and even where available, these processes are undocumented
• Interaction between different programmes is on an informal basis
• Funding from the Government is not sufficient to cover all administration costs and there is a freeze on new hires
• Funds received from donors are for specific purposes and may influence the focus of the programmes
• Similar roles with other commission may be a source of confusion
• It may be difficult to draw synergies due to the overlapped roles
• Recognizing efforts and achievements of the commission may be a challenge
NGEC 2019-2024 STRATEGIC PLAN22 |
2.1.1 Key AchievementsSome of the Key achievements of the Commission included: 1. Review and provision of advisory in more than 300 pieces of legislations,
policies and administrative guidelines to County and National Governments.2. Formation of robust facilitative technical working groups at both levels
of government to support the Commission in monitoring compliance and integration of principles of equality and inclusion.
3. Facilitation in development of guidelines and handbooks for promoting equality and inclusion.
4. Being enjoined in public litigation in at least eighteen (18) cases. 5. Support to the planning and budgeting arms of government in development
of frameworks for gender responsive budgeting 6. Audit of programs and status of special interest groups including social
protection, basic education, county interventions in infrastructure water and health prior to receipt of equalization fund.
7. Facilitation in development and launch of promotional campaigns against violence and abuse of human rights for SIGs.
8. Ensuring that gender and equality indicators were included in the national and county government annual performance management systems.
9. Establishment of regional offices in Garissa, Nakuru, Kisumu, Kitui and Malindi to decentralize its services.
2.1.2 Challenges Faced During the implementation of the first Strategic Plan, NGEC faced the following challenges: (a) Limited financial resources which hampered effective discharge of the
Commission’s mandate.(b) Inadequate human resource, especially in technical areas, which affected
effective implementation of planned programmes.(c) Limited awareness of the functions of the Commission; this may have
resulted in few citizens seeking assistance from the Commission even when the complaints and needs fall within the functions of the Commission.
2.1.3 Lessons LearntThe Commission has drawn a number of lessons from the implementation of the Strategic Plan namely:(a) Adequate and competent staff is imperative in facilitating effective implemen-
tation of the Strategic Plan.(b) Stakeholder engagement and management is key in achieving the Commis-
sion’s mandate. Therefore, there is need for continuous stakeholder sensiti-zation on areas/programmes in which they can collaborate with NGEC.
(c) Teamwork among staff and Commissioners is key in ensuring effective
NGEC 2019-2024 STRATEGIC PLAN | 23
discharge of NGEC’s mandate. Thus, the Commission will continue to work as a team to enhance effective delivery of its programmes.
(d) Political goodwill is critical. Therefore, there is need for the Commission to enhance its rapport with the National and County Governments, and the private sector for the Country to enhance realisation of the principles of equality and inclusion.
(e) Legal backing is important in enforcement of the constitutional provisions on equality and inclusion. Therefore, there is need to fast-track the enactment and/or review of the necessary laws to enable enforcement. There is also an urgent need to have NGEC rules and regulations finalised and approved.
2.1.4 Financial Analysis The Commission’s financial support from the Government increased steadily from Kshs. 234m in 2013/14, Kshs. 290m in 2014/15, Kshs 309m in 2015/16, 386.9m in 2016/17, Kshs. 445m in 2017/18. The absorption rate remained between 95% and 100%. The revenues from other sources however declined during the same period due to varying reasons including change in priorities for development partners among others.
While the Commission formulated the Strategic Plan worth Kshs 4.75 Billion in 2013 it only secured less than one quarter of the budget, forcing it to leave out some intended programmes and interventions. Further, nearly 70% of the budget was consumed by recurrent costs such as rent, personal emolument and transport. There is need for the Commission to establish a robust Resource Mobilization Plan to enhance funding of its programmes and interventions. This can be achieved through collaborations and partnerships with stakeholders and development partners.
2.1.5 SWOT AnalysisAnalysis of internal environment (strengths and weaknesses) and external environment (opportunities and threats) was undertaken to identify factors that may influence the operations of NGEC during the planning period. The results are presented in Table 1.

NGEC 2019-2024 STRATEGIC PLAN | 25
2.2 PESTLE Analysis In the process of developing this Strategic Plan, an environmental scan was undertaken, using PESTLE (Political, Economic, Socio-cultural, Technological, Legal and Environmental) analysis, aimed at determining emerging issues that need to be addressed or taken into account during the Plan period.
2.2.1 Political Environment Kenya has enjoyed a largely stable political environment since independence. This has seen the country become an economic hub in the region. However, elections in the country have tended to be disruptive for businesses with political campaigns being characterized by cases of violence. Such violence may negatively affect the functioning of the Government, thus impacting on service delivery, which could lead to inequalities and discrimination in both public and private establishments. The general elections scheduled for 2022 may result in a new governance regime in both National and County governments that may have varied priorities, hence possible change in policies.
The implementation of devolved governance presents opportunities and threats to equality and inclusion. County governments may not have the capacity or willingness to comply with the constitutional provisions of gender equality and freedom from discrimination, and at the same time monitoring and ensuring compliance is challenging given the Commission’s limited resources. To promote realization of its mandate, NGEC will work within the prevailing political environment to influence development of policies, laws and administrative guidelines promoting inclusion and equality issues as well as the financing of programmes and initiatives responsive to these principles.
2.2.2 Economic EnvironmentLike most other countries in the developing world, Kenya continues to grapple with challenges that include slow economic growth, high unemployment rates, high poverty level, drought, low levels of investment and high cost of production. These challenges impact negatively on Kenya’s growth and development leading to perpetuation of inequalities and discrimination. Kenya is also faced with the challenge of recurring misappropriation of public resources and various cases of corruption. This has led to inadequate funding in various sectors of Government.
NGEC will work closely with national government institutions and the county governments to promote equitable distribution of resources. NGEC will also put in place initiatives that will ensure special interest groups such as women, youth, PWDs, minority and marginalised groups participate effectively in the economic aspects of the country, including employment and decision making in both the public and private sectors.
NGEC 2019-2024 STRATEGIC PLAN26 |
2.2.3 Socio-cultural Environment Kenya’s current population stands at approximately 45 million with 35% being youth who form the majority of the unemployed. The increased population puts a strain on the limited resources leading to poor quality of essential services. In addition, Kenya is susceptible to climate change related events that pose a serious threat to the socio-economic development of the country. The most affected groups by climate change are women, older members of society, PWD’s and margin-alized groups in the society. Further, the country grapples with retrogressive and harmful socio-cultural practices that have direct negative implications on children, women, the youth, PWDs and the older members of society.
Articles 43 of the Constitution of Kenya 2010 provides for Economic and Social Rights. Section 8 (g) of The National Gender and Equality Commission Act 2011 mandates NGEC to work with relevant institutions in the development of standards for the implementation of policies for the progressive realization of the economic and social rights specified in Article 43 of the Constitution and other written laws. During the Plan period, NGEC will endeavour to deliver this mandate.
2.2.4 Technological Environment Kenya has embraced and is making use of technological advancements to facilitate efficient organizational processes. The Government, in particular, has rolled out information and communication technology (ICT) based systems, such as the Integrated Financial Management Information System (IFMIS), which are expected to improve efficiency in public service delivery. The use of email, social media such as Twitter, Facebook, Whatsapp, Instagram, LinkedIn is expected to increase the visibility of NGEC through quick information sharing.
Technology has, however, brought challenges such as cyber-crime which have been on the rise, with up to 3000 monthly incidences reported to the Information Technology, Security, and Assurance (ISACA). Fake news and general misinfor-mation is another big challenge. Increased uptake of technology in public and private sector presents NGEC with an opportunity to use ICT in creating awareness and collaborations with institutions from both public and private sectors to efficiently deliver on its mandate.
2.2.5 Legal Environment The Constitution of Kenya 2010 provides a robust legal framework on gender equality and freedom from discrimination. There are still gaps in providing adequate financial support to address inequalities in both public and private sector. There is also inadequate public awareness about the rights and freedoms of special interest groups. NGEC will work together with other stakeholders in facilitating, coordinating, and monitoring compliance on the integration of the principles of gender equality and freedom from discrimination in all spheres of life.

3.0STRATEGIC DIRECTION
3.1 NGEC’s Strategic MapThe overall strategic map for NGEC is as summarized in Figure 1.
Figure 1: NGEC strategic map
VISIONA society free from gender inequality and
all forms of discrimination
MISSIONTo promote gender equality and freedom from all forms of
discrimination in Kenya, especially for special interest groups through ensuring compliance with policies, laws and practice
CORE VALUESFairness, Inclusiveness, Teamwork, Accountability, and Integrity

and reporting

Research and knowledge
management
Institutional Capacity
NGEC 2019-2024 STRATEGIC PLAN30 |
3.2 Themes, Objectives and StrategiesDuring the Plan period (2019 -2024) the Commission will focus on the following broad themes: i) Compliance Monitoring and Reporting: The Commission, being an
oversight body, has nearly 60% of its core function on monitoring, audit and investigation on the implementation of the Constitutional provisions on all aspects of gender equality and freedom from discrimination. The Commission will strengthen the capacity of public and private institutions to integrate principles of gender equality and freedom from discrimination in all administrative procedures, policies, laws and programmes. Further, NGEC will continue reporting to Parliament on the status of gender equality and discrimination as well as ensuring compliance with treaties and conven-tions ratified by Kenya in relation to issues of equality and freedom from discrimination for all Special Interest Groups.
ii) Investigations and Redress: The Commission will work with the relevant stakeholders in ensuring that timely redress is provided to victims of violations of principles of equality and inclusion. Additionally, the Commission will strengthen its systems and processes for receiving complaints and responding to any reported violations.
iii) Public Education and Mainstreaming of Equality and Inclusion: Public awareness, understanding and appreciation of issues of gender equality and freedom from discrimination is significantly low in the country. NGEC will intensify its efforts in creating awareness and educating individuals and institutions on their role in the realisation of principles equality and inclusion. The Commission will also increase collaboration and partnership with the public and private sectors in implementing programmes that will enhance participation and representation of SIGs in national and county development. The Commission through its partners will create awareness on emerging issues key among others: climate change, cybercrime, radicali-sation and their effects on the society.
iv) Research and Knowledge Management One of the functions of NGEC is to conduct and co-ordinate research that will inform policies and programmes for promoting gender equality and freedom from discrimination. The Commission will improve availability of information on gender equality and inclusion as well as the status of partic-ipation and representation of SIGs in national development. This will be achieved through partnership and collaboration with public and private institutions as well as development partners on content and areas of research and knowledge management. Additionally, the Commission will develop
NGEC 2019-2024 STRATEGIC PLAN | 31
a database that will consolidate, avail and disseminate data on the status of integration of principles of equality and inclusion desegregated fully of categories of SIG’s. The Commission will also put in place mechanisms for successful implementation of knowledge management, with the main aim of converting resident tacit knowledge into explicit knowledge for actionable use. In view of this the Commission will identify and map their existing knowledge, employ knowledge management principles in order to promote the flow of both resident knowledge and external knowledge to bring out new knowledge in research.
v) Institutional Capacity Building- The Commission will strengthen its human resource capacity through recruitment and training of staff.For effective monitoring of employee performance and productivity, the Commission will implement a performance management system, and enhance corporate governance practices. During the Plan period, the Commission will strengthen its regional offices through recruitment, capacity building and implementation of appropriate systems. NGEC will strengthen its resource mobilisation initiatives, including strengthening collaborations and partner-ships with development partners for financial and technical support of its programmes.
Arising from the strategic themes, strategic objectives and strategies have been developed as outlined in Table 3.
