Nduva, the two institutions deliberated on ways the Hub can better align itself with national and county government agencies to ensure that the data generated through research can be used to impact Women’s Economic Empowerment programme and policy design and implementation.

Stakeholder engagement is at the core of the Hub’s approach as it provides the Hub a great opportunity to share gender data with policy makers and advocate for its use in WEE policy and programme formulation and implementation. Through advocacy and policy engagement activities, KU-WEE Hub has been keen to engage WEE stakeholders at all levels for policy impact.
