Civil society groups are expressing significant concerns over Kenya's sluggish progress in fulfilling its 12 national commitments to combat gender-based violence (GBV) as the June 2026 deadline looms.

• A key concern is the absence of a public national progress report detailing achievements and challenges across all 12 commitments, limiting public oversight.
• Akili Dada, with support from UN Women, convened a multi-stakeholder workshop in Nairobi to assess implementation and propose corrective measures.
• The workshop recommended publishing a national progress audit, ring-fenced funding at both national and county levels, and expanded survivor-centred services.
