Unlocking women’s economic opportunity for inclusive growth in Kenya

The Women Economic Opportunity Baseline Report by the Kenya Institute for Public Policy Research and Analysis is intended to guide action under the National Policy on Women’s Economic Empowerment. Its index, based on six pillars, records an overall score of 36.2 out of 100. Entrepreneurial skills, digital capabilities and training score highest at 48.6, followed by financial inclusion and access to finance at 46.1. The authors call for better connections between these capabilities and the resources and systems women need to use them productively.
