However, according to the 2021 SDG Gender Gap Report, no country is yet to fully achieve gender equality. There is much disparity between levels of progress in realising gender equality amongst countries.

This policy brief discusses the concept of meaningful engagement of girls and young women (GYW) in decision making in Kenya. It discusses the value for engaging girls and young women in decision making, the progress so far and key challenges in engaging GYW. The policy brief also makes specific policy and programme recommendations to state and non-state actors to strengthen meaningful engagement of girls and young women in decision making in Kenya.
