On October 30th, 2024, Oramedia in Uganda collaborated with GROOTS Kenya in Nairobi for a powerful milestone event: the launch of the 2024 SDG Gender Index. This launch brought together prominent leaders, advocates, and stakeholders to discuss Kenya’s progress on gender equality, with a focus on achievements and pressing challenges across 14 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Developed by Equal Measures 2030, the 2024 SDG Gender Index ranks Kenya 109th out of 139 countries, underlining areas in need of urgent action to achieve a #GenderEqualFuture.

In partnership with Equal Measures 2030 and Data2X, GROOTS Kenya hosted a breakfast meeting, drawing attention to the Index’s insights and sparking vital discussions. Despite progress, the event highlighted that Kenya still faces significant gaps that must be addressed to fully realize gender equality. With Oramedia in Uganda’s support in photography and videography, this meeting reached wider audiences, encouraging continuous dialogue on gender equality in Kenya.
