Terms of Reference for a Short Term Consultant to Prepare the National Report on Implementation of the Beijing Platform for Action (BPFA) +20

1.0 Background

The Agreed Conclusions of 58th session of CSW called for the post-2015 development agenda to contain a standalone goal on gender equality, women’s empowerment and the human rights of women and girls, and for gender equality to be mainstreamed throughout all other goals. Importantly, the agreed conclusions point out the critical gender equality issues that were insufficiently addressed in the MDGs, signaling priorities for the post-2015 development agenda.In addition, Kenya being a member state of the United Nations is in receipt of resolution E/RES/2013/18, of the United Nations Economic and Social Council which has called upon all member states to undertake comprehensive national-level reviews of the progress made and challenges encountered in the implementation of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action and the outcomes of the twenty-third special session of the General Assembly.

The resolution states that; at its fifty-ninth session, in 2015, the Commission (CSW) will undertake a review and appraisal of the implementation of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action and the outcomes of the twenty-third special session of the General Assembly, including current challenges that affect the implementation of the Platform for Action and the achievement of gender equality and the empowerment of women, as well as opportunities for strengthening gender equality and the empowerment of women in the post-2015 development agenda through the integration of a gender perspective.” {UN Women/ UNECA Guidance note for the preparation of national reviews on twentieth anniversary of the Fourth World Conference on Women and the adoption of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action 2015}
Based on the above, Kenya is expected to undertake comprehensive national reviews, prepare and send the Country report to the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) who are coordinating the regional review process. The report should be received no later than 30th June 2014. UN-Women and the five United Nations regional commissions are collaborating in the review and appraisal process.
The agreed conclusions for the 58th CSW called upon member states to disseminate agreed upon issues through a national stakeholders meeting. Notably, the 58th session provided an opportunity for gender equality and women’s empowerment progress and challenges to be reported against all the goals of the MDGs. This has been noted as critical in the review of the Beijing platform for action which will be the main focus in the 59thCSW.
