KINNAPA Gender Audit

KINNAPA Gender Forum

Through a small grant from the International Land Coalition (ILC) under the Africa Gender Justice Charter, KINNAPA Development Programme is positioned to conduct a gender audit to identify any disparities between men and women within the organization, such as differences in pay, promotion rates, and/or access to opportunities. The audit will support KINNAPA's efforts to promote gender equality by identifying areas where gender biases exist. This will allow the organization to take targeted actions to promote gender equality and ensure equal opportunities for all employees, regardless of gender.

A gender audit is a systematic evaluation process aimed at assessing the extent to which an organization's policies, practices, programs, and services are gender-sensitive, equitable, and inclusive. The purpose of a gender audit is to identify strengths and gaps in promoting gender equality within an organization or project, ensuring that both men and women have equal opportunities, rights, and access to resources.
