By Liberty KituuWith women making up over half of Kenya’s population, their subpar representation in the national economic sphere is less than acceptable. The Women and Economy conference held on February 24- 25 shed light on the issues impacting women in Kenya’s economy. The forum was driven by an urgent need for true gender equality in the national economic engine, where women are represented, included and availed as much opportunity as men. Public Service and Gender CAS Beatrice Elachi pointed out the need for women’s inclusion in the economic recovery program particulalry in the midst of the Covid19 pandemic. The project was funded by Global Affairs Canada, delivered in Kenya by CARE Canada, CARE Kenya, CRAWN Trust, Uraia Trust, CREAW and Urgent Action Fund-Africa.
