dc.description.abstractEven as it nears middle-income country status, evidence indicates Kenya’s poverty is feminized and women are marginalized. This policy brief captures findings of a scoping paper that maps the policy landscape for Women’s Economic Empowerment (WEE), with a focus on policies and programs related to workforce gender segregation, women’s collective action and agency, and unpaid care work. Along with COVID-19, Kenya endured concurrent natural disasters in 2020 including plagues of locusts, drought, floods and destruction of key infrastructure. Rural women who subsist on agriculture have been on the frontlines of these calamities. Women are concentrated in agriculture, making up 75% of the labour force on smallholder farms.en
