A gender and leadership development programme launched in 1997 has continued to support efforts by churches and church-related organizations to empower women in their struggle for life and sustainable development. Within the framework of this programme, the desk has conducted three regional workshops on women's leadership and capacity-building, and prepared a manual for women leaders. It has also supported efforts by churches in Kenya to press their government to enact legislation in favour of children's rights, as it undertook to do when it signed related UN accords.
