Abstract: This paper examines the role and contributions of various governmental machinery like the constitution, legislation reforms and policies and semi autonomous governmental agencies in the elimination of inequalities faced by Kenyan women and the empowerment of women in Kenya. It discusses various provisions enshrined in the constitution, parliamentary acts and policies that promote the status of women in Kenya and further looks at the role played by grassroots community-based organisations, with a focus on women self-help groups. It further examines the contributions of national non-governmental organisations, towards achievement of gender equality and empowerment of women in Kenya.
