It has been a great afternoon recapping the outcomes of the First Ever Women in Manufacturing Research in Kenya #WIMKe

The #WIMReport launched earlier this month, provides viable solutions to the challenges facing Women in Manufacturing

Women face unique challenges that hinder them from entering the sector. This is why we continue to advocate for an inclusive manufacturing sector, through the establishment of policies that encourage women to be key players in value and supply chains - KAM CEO @PhyllisWakiaga

In a forum hosted by @ICRWAfrica to discuss the #WIMReport, KAM CEO @PhyllisWakiaga noted, 'Women are sidelined in the sector, with majority of industries being predominantly male-owned & staffed. Only 3 out of the 14 sectors have a female workforce of 40% & above.'

Through the #WIMke Programme, we aim to provide practical solutions. This is what informed our decision to undertake this study, which shall inform our advocacy strategy to mainstream equality and inclusion in the manufacturing sector - KAM CEO @PhyllisWakiaga
