Welcome to the
Gender Resource
Centre

The Gender Resource Centre (GRC) is a digital platform innovated and owned by CRAWN Trust to strengthen the women's rights ecosystem in Kenya. Launched in 2021 with support from Global Affairs Canada (GAC) through the Women's Voice and Leadership (WVL) project, the GRC was created to address gaps in access to information and to enhance visibility, coordination, and collaboration among women's rights organisations. It is part of CRAWN Trust's broader networking and alliance building efforts.

A key feature of the platform is its comprehensive online directory, with over 1,400 women's rights organisations mapped across all 47 counties in Kenya. This directory is one of the most extensive and inclusive of its kind in the country to date, making it easier to identify and connect with organisations working at both grassroots and national levels.

Beyond the directory, the GRC serves as a central hub for networking, knowledge sharing, capacity building, and collaboration. It supports researchers, policymakers, civil society actors, donors, and activists by providing information and connections to women led and women serving organisations.

Ultimately, the Gender Resource Centre plays a crucial role in documenting and tracking the progress of women in Kenya from independence to date, attributable to the voices and contributions of women over the years. By visibilizing women's progress and strengthening support systems, the GRC contributes to advancing gender equality and inclusive development nationwide.
