The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (B&GMF)-funded initiative aims to create a body of knowledge that can be used to shape policies, programmes, interventions, and advocacy efforts that promote women’s economic empowerment (WEE) in Kenya. The project’s rationale is to alleviate Kenya’s weak nexus between WEE policies, programmes, and gender data. The initiative is being implemented in partnership with Tharaka Nithi County, Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS), the Institute of Economic Affairs-Kenya (IEA-Kenya), Yale University, Busara Behavioural Economics Centre, the Ministry of Gender, Culture, The Arts and Heritage, Ministry of Public Service. The KU-WEE Hub is conducting thirteen analytical studies using a mixed-methods approach, involving the collection of quantitative and qualitative data and a Randomized Control Trial (RCT). The program also builds capacities of KU researchers and stakeholders in various research tools such as the construction of WEE indicators, feminist research methodologies, RCTs and program evaluation techniques. The hub brings evidence to policymakers and vigorously advocate for its use through stakeholder engagements, such as political dialogues with policy-makers, citizens, civil society and non-governmental organizations. The research assessment studies are divided into three thematic areas: (i) women’s roles in the public and private sectors; (ii) skilling and mentoring; and (iii) violence, crises and women’s work. The KU-WEE Hub will host an International Conference from 24th -26th July, 2024 at the Kenyatta University Conference Center (KUCC). The broad theme of the conference is “Ini tiatives for What Works to Advance Women’s Economic Empowerment”.

In that regard, the conference seeks to bring together researchers, scholars, networking groups and partners, stakeholders including policy-makers and policy implementers to share knowledge and experiences pertaining to the broad theme of the conference. The objectives of the conference are: To share experiences and learn lessons on the Initiatives for What Works to Advance Women’s Economic Empowerment. To network and collaborate through partnerships that will enhance the development of policies for increased women’s economic empowerment across Africa; To identify knowledge gaps that could be explored during future research, training and programming The conference will adopt a hybrid model that will be conducted through a virtual and faceto-face platform to ensure wide participation. The conference will have a three-day program of events, which will include several modes of presentations: plenary sessions with keynote speakers, thematic parallel sessions, panel discussions and poster displays and Exhibitions.

The network was born out of the Climate-U project (Transforming Universities for a Changing Climate) which ran from February 2020 - January 2024, funded by the Global Challenges Research Fund. The aim of the network is to strengthen climate action and sustainability efforts within each institution and collaboratively given that the sustainability challenges traverse sectors and regions. Universities are central to the transformation of societies, through their unique role in professional development, knowledge production and public debate. While there has been increasing attention to the active role universities can play in recent years, and many institutions have made commitments to achieving carbon neutrality and just transitions, there is still a significant knowledge gap. Building on the Higher Education and the Climate Crisis event held in London in October 2023, this conference provides a space for debate, exchange of ideas and sharing of new research on diverse aspects of the higher education-climate crisis-sustainability axis. It offers a platform for a range of activities that will include interactive seminars, workshops, research papers and poster presentations featuring interdisciplinary perspectives from prominent speakers and decision-makers in climate education. The mode of the conference will be blended with both in-person events to be held at the Kenyatta University Conference Centre, Nairobi, and virtual participation. Conference sub-themes: 1. Trans disciplinary approaches to addressing the Climate Crisis in Higher Education 2. Sustainable Campus Initiatives and Best Practices 3. Climate Justice, Intersectionality, Equity and Higher Education 4. Indigenous Knowledge and Perspectives on the Climate Crisis 5. Student Activism and Engagement for Climate Action 6.
