BACKGROUND INFORMATION

About Local Authorities

Local authorities in Kenya are the bodies controlling local governance in Kenya. Kenya has four classes of local authorities: City , Municipality , Town and County council. Currently there arethree authorities with city status: Nairobi , the national capital , Kisumu and Mombasa , whichcurrently have municipal councils have recently been granted city status. Municipalities andtowns are other forms of urban authorities and are generally named after their central town.County councils are essentially rural. Each district has a maximum of one county council , suchthat they cover all area not taken up by urban authorities. County councils are usually namedafter their respective districts , which often bear the same name as the district capital. Thuscounty councils are often named after a major town , but their land area may cover thesurroundings , not the town itself. Some districts have only one local authority , which are almost

all county councils.

Local authorities usually differ from divisional and constituency boundaries used by the stateadministration. Local authority administration consists of a mayor , town clerk and councillors.The numbers of councilors depend on population and area of each authority and they are elected

by the public during the Kenya general elections held every five years or by-elections held in between. Authorities are divided into wards and each ward elects only one councillor. Wardshave often common boundaries with administrative locations.

Compared to many other countries , local authorities in Kenya are weak and are shadowed bystate run administration. [1] However , during the international Africities summit held in Nairobi

Septembr 2006 , the Kenyan president Mwai Kibaki promised to strengthen local authorities.

O bjectives of the fund are:

y Improving service delivery , - Improving financial management and accountabilityy R educing the outstanding debt of local authorities.

Activities funded focus on: Health , education , roads , street lighting , water , sanitation , wastedisposal , garbage collection , parks , recreation and sports facilities.

Gender

G ender refers to the roles , responsibilities , attributes and power relations that are sociallyconstructed by and assigned to men and women of a given society or community. Theseconstructs vary greatly by culture , geographic region , socioeconomic status and context , and theychange over time.

Because of genders localized nature , the engagement and leadership of local partners , stakeholders and beneficiaries in developing , implementing and evaluating gender approachesshould be prioritized. Local initiatives that promote gender equity at all levels should also besupported

Women are essential to economic growth in developing countries. Moreover , investments inwomen often return multiple dividends in terms of helping to improve the well-being of their children , families and communities. Women are central wage earners. Their earnings and

productive activities provide vital income to many households.


5/30

Women also are vital food producers and preparers. Women in developing countries produce between 60 and 80 percent of food crops. Yet women continue to face social barriers andinequities that prevent them from realizing their full economic potential.

In both developed and developing countries , women face gender-based inequities that often

impede their ability to earn a living and better their lives and those of their families.y Women worldwide typically earn less than men for the same work , and their jobs are

concentrated in lower paying industries and the informal sector. In addition family labor is usually unpaid.

y Women tend to work longer hours under the double burden of domestic and remunerativelabor.

y Women constitute the majority of the worlds agricultural laborers , but receive only asmall fraction of the available extension and support services.

y Women have less access to and control over resources , benefits and opportunities , including land , assets , credit , training and household income.

y Female-headed households are overrepresented among the poor and food insecure , andwomen and their children are the majority of refugees and displaced populations.

y Women are further disadvantaged economically and socially because they often receiveapproximately half the years of schooling of men , and have less access to health careservices and fewer legal rights.

Men and boys can be disadvantaged due to socially defined gender roles , as is reflected insituations of mass male unemployment or the problematic reintegration of ex-combatants andefforts to control the spread of H IV . Because of this , gender approaches and analyses alsostrengthen development efforts to improve the economic status and well-being of men and boys.

Moreover ,

womens empowerment cannot be achieved without engaging men in the process.
