THE INSTITUTION
The Caucus for Women’s Leadership (formerly the Kenya Women’s Political Caucus) is a legally registered national network dedicated to building women’s leadership. By changing our name in 2007, we re positioned ourselves to become a leading national and regional platform for women’s empowerment.

We work with all women, irrespective of their cultural, religious, political or socio-economic background. We do this by establishing structures at the grassroots, which act as platforms where women can build their leadership skills.

Our strategy of building women’s leadership skills aims at engaging women, to increase their understanding of leadership and further develop skills that will enable them participate effectively in decision making structures at all levels of leadership.

We have been able to achieve commendable achievements through financial support received from the Royal Netherlands Embassy, SIDA/UNIFEM, African Women Development Fund, Urgent Action Fund, CEDPA, Global fund for women, Heinrich Boll Foundation, Canadian Embassy, USAID/PACT Kenya, and the Government of Kenya, through the Provincial and District Administrative Structures.

In everything we do, we place special emphasis on empowering women. This for us is the most powerful tool for gender advocacy as well as bringing about sustainable socio-economic transformation for women.
