The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Kenya, the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) and the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women) have joined forces to implement the Consolidating Gains and Deepening Devolution in Kenya programme in collaboration with national and county governments. The programme targets the most vulnerable counties where poverty rates remain high and those in remote, arid, and sparsely populated northern frontier counties where poverty levels severely affect women, children, and other vulnerable groups.
