In mid August, Machakos County Government showcased a host of projects being implemented across the devolved unit as Wavinya Ndeti hosted female governors.
Dubbed the G7, seven female governors held a series of meetings in Machakos County for two days in their first leg of tours across their jurisdictions.
The women governors acknowledged the challenges that women often face in ascending to leadership roles, including systemic barriers, gender biases, and a lack of access to networks and mentorship opportunities.
To address these challenges, the leaders plan to establish comprehensive mentorship programmes, provide resources for leadership training, and create forums for young women to engage with and learn from experienced female leaders.
