UN Women Kenya has brought together some of the country's most influential women leaders from the public and private sectors to strengthen collaboration, accelerate women's leadership, and lay the groundwork for a national Women Leaders Alliance.
The high-level closed-door roundtable, held under the theme "Advancing Women's Leadership in Kenya," convened chief executive officers, senior government officials, board leaders and corporate executives to discuss strategies for increasing women's representation in top leadership positions.
The meeting comes amid concerns that despite Kenya's progress in advancing gender equality through constitutional reforms and policy interventions, women remain underrepresented in senior decision-making roles.
