The National Gender and Equality Commission (NGEC) participated in a capacity-building programme in South Korea aimed at promoting gender equality in the world of work.
The initiative, supported by the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA), focused on workplace policies such as inclusion, equal pay, parental leave, and diversity. Kenyan delegates drew lessons from Korea’s experience to inform strategies for advancing equality back home.
The delegation was led by Mr. Paul Kuria, Director of Programmes and Research, and Dr. Anyango Ochieng, PhD, Assistant Director – Research, Monitoring and Evaluation, who engaged with experts and policymakers during the exchange.
NGEC noted that the programme strengthened its capacity to advise on workplace reforms and awareness campaigns, particularly in addressing gender pay gaps and underrepresentation of women in leadership in Kenya.
