That there is a dearth of women in public leadership and decision-making positions is not debatable. It is seen in all spheres of public leadership. We strongly believe in the leadership capacity of all women from all social levels. GROOTS has demonstrated this belief by ensuring that rural women sit in GROOTS Kenya Supreme decision-making body. We have also built women’s capacity to enable them take up leadership at different levels of decision making from school and hospital boards, to CDF committees, County offices as well as political leadership among others.

In light of the Sustainable Development Goals, Vision 2030, MTPIII and the 2^nd generation CIDPs, GROOTS Kenya has supported grassroots women to generate community data to monitor service delivery for grassroots communities

The need to ensure women’s economic empowerment has led GROOTS to support grassroots women to establish a grassroots SACCO.
