Kenya State Dept for Gender Affairs-Strategic Plan 2018-2022

The State Department for Gender Affairs (SDGA) was established in November 2015 in the Ministry of Public Service, Youth and Gender Affairs. The Department was created from the former Ministry of Devolution and Planning to promote gender mainstreaming in national development processes and champion the socio-economic empowerment of women. Previously, gender issues were handled under a division in the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Development and as a directorate under the Ministry of Devolution and Planning.
The Department derives its mandate from the Constitution of Kenya in Articles 10, 27, 60, 61, 81 and 100, among others, and Executive Order No.1 of 2018 (Revised).
