Kenya has reaffirmed its commitment to gender equality, women's empowerment, and sustainable development under the guide of the Constitution (2010), which guarantees equal rights for men and women during the Kenya Population and Development Conference (KPDC) 2025, held in Nairobi.
However, challenges remain, requiring continuous efforts from the government, civil society, and international partners, with women's empowerment being key to economic growth and social development.
The Principal Secretary (PS) for Gender and Affirmative Action, Anne Wang'ombe, emphasised the importance of multi-sectoral collaboration in tackling population and development issues.
The PS highlighted Kenya's progress in aligning national policies with international commitments such as the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) 25 and the Maputo Declaration, which focus on reproductive health rights and ensuring inclusivity in development efforts through 2030.
