2009 Kenya Gender FestivalMonday, 23 March 2009

The Gender Festival is an open forum for likeminded individuals and organizations that come together to share experiences and knowledge, to celebrate achievements, assess challenges ahead, to strengthen networking and coalition building, to build capacity and to contribute to public debate. In Tanzania the festival has been held since 1996 as an annual event, but has over time evolved into a bi annual event. The forum aims to bring together people interested in gender, for the purpose of activism and information sharing on pertinent gender issues.  

Kenya's Gender Festival is scheduled to take place from 15th to 17th April 2009 at the Nairobi University's graduation grounds. The Festival, the first of its kind in Kenya is expected to attract daily participation of approximately four hundred invited participants from all over the country. Participants are drawn from civil society organizations, Government, community based organizations, development partners and also the University of Nairobi community. 

It is organized towards interrogation of activities and responses of the gender and women's movement to pertinent societal issues, strengthening linkages and responses of the women's movement to various legal and policy frameworks dealing with women's and human rights as well as exploring ways of increasing accountability of the movement and its duty bearers to its constituents. 

The overall theme of this year's Kenya's Gender Festival is "Celebrate Diversity and Promote Gender Equality" and the sub-themes are as follows: 

  • Healing, peace building and unity;
  • Women movement-building in a diverse society;
  • Men for cultural diversity and gender equality.

Notes from the DPH-K Chair at the occasion of the March 12, 2009 Health Review Summit

The key objectives of the Health Summit were to receive the health sector performance report, launch the health sector performance report and Annual Operational Plan (AOP) 4, award districts and provinces that had exemplified outstanding performance and witness the signing of Code of Conduct by the new Kenya Health Sector Wide Approach (SWAp) members.

Dr. Klaus Hornetz (German Development Cooperation), speaking as the chair of the DPH-K commended the Summit preparatory team and recommended that future Health Summits should not singly focus on launch of documents and awarding best performing provinces and districts, but the focus should be expanded to showcase best practices in delivering health care, particularly to the poor, by all implementing partners, in Kenya.

He noted that the health sector is increasingly getting diversified and complex, particularly as it relates to the consequences of the split of the Ministry of Health. DPH-K acknowledges that the sector's governance structures and processes are getting back on track. However there are still organizational challenges and inefficiencies. While referring to the last Health Sector Coordinating Committee (HSCC) meeting, he underscored the need to revive all the health sector technical working groups to facilitate dialogue and to return HSCC as a policy dialogue forum, rather than an information dissemination body.
