Although Kenya’s National Adaptation Plan requires gender-responsive implementation and the Climate Change Act (Section 8) mandates women’s inclusion in climate-related decision-making, women remain underrepresented in mitigation, research, and leadership despite being disproportionately affected by climate change. The project therefore aimed (i) to identify key challenges to women’s participation and leadership in climate action in Kenya, and (ii) to assess whether and how women’s leadership development needs should be addressed in future projects aligned with these priorities. Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) were conducted online via Zoom with male and female participants. The FGDs explored barriers to women’s participation in climate research, decision-making, and leadership, and identified research and leadership capacity-building needs to strengthen empowerment in climate action. A roundtable event was held in Kenya with stakeholders from local community groups, government agencies, civil society organisations, private sector actors, and academic institutions. Efforts were made to ensure representation across genders and rural and urban areas; however, only one male participated. The roundtable examined similar themes to the FGDs, identifying structural and institutional barriers and prioritising research and leadership capacity-building actions to enhance women’s leadership in climate action. Two individual interviews were conducted with participants that were unable to attend an FGD or RTD. A total of 38 adult participants were engaged across the data collection formats. All participants were based in Kenya or had a clear operational presence in the country. 2026 published University of Reading 10.17864/1947.001509 Research England https://doi.org/10.13039/501100013589 Women in climate action leadership Kenya - pump priming, knowledge exchange and capacity building to support collaboration and a new UK-Kenya partnership Dataset University of Reading University of Nairobi Kenya en en 2025-01-22 2025-02-14 Website Website https://research.reading.ac.uk/women-climate-action-kenya/ 2026 researchdata@reading.ac.uk AdminContact karen.jones@reading.ac.uk DataSteward yes TRUE Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ TRUE Manuscripts and a project report are in progress.
