The “Sex and Gender Based Analysis for Adolescent Health and Nutrition” in Elgeyo Marakwet County aims to address gender barriers and promote equality in adolescent health and nutrition programs. This study supports the REACTS-IN project to enhance nutrition and health outcomes for women, girls, and children.
To follow a gender mainstreaming process in the REACTS-IN project, Nutrition International in Kenya contracted Bodmando Consulting Group to conduct a Sex and Gender Based Analysis (SGBA) of Adolescent Healt and Nutrition (AHN) programs, to reflect on how the project can better promote gender equality and respond to gender barriers and any potential enablers in Elgeyo Marakwet for the adolescent nutrition program. The specific objectives included the following.
The Sex and Gender Based Analysis (SGBA) will provide a comprehensive understanding of the gender barriers and enablers within the Adolescent Health and Nutrition (AHN) programs in Elgeyo Marakwet County. By conducting in-depth assessments of gender equality issues such as socio-economic status, access to nutrition, and vulnerabilities, the study will offer actionable insights on how to enhance the program’s gender responsiveness. The analysis will identify key entry points and provide recommendations for both short- and long-term strategies, ensuring that future interventions will better address gender inequalities and promote the empowerment of adolescent girls and women. This approach will not only support Nutrition International’s goals of improving health outcomes but also contribute to sustainable, gender-equitable advancements in nutrition and sexual reproductive health in underserved areas of the county.
