Discusses how Kenyan policies and organisations address gender equality in climate change-related responses. Argues that despite the well-advanced gender mainstreaming policy in Kenya, few policies focus on climate change and even fewer on its inter-linkages with gender. Affirms that at the field level, encrusted traditions, inadequately trained staff, limited financial resources, and limited awareness of the inter-linkages between gender and climate change remain major challenges to promoting gender equality in the work of government organisations. Proposes measures for addressing these challenges and strengthening gender equality in responses to climate change
