Over the years, higher education in Kenya has been characterised by gender disparities. A gendered analysis of admissions at University illustrates a low representation of females. But, the Kenyan governments' policies in higher education, should have attended to this problem. Hence, this book seeks to examine the governments' gender-related access policy making processes in higher education. This study shows that it is useful to distinguish between different stages in the gender related access policy making process. However, the separations between the stages are not black-and- white and decision-making continues in the implementation and evaluation stages. Consequently, policy making is a complex, iterative process that may not be predetermined from start to finish. This study indicates the intricacy of coming up with policy issues or problems, policy objectives and policy instruments. However, there are challenges in the implementation of gender-related policies thus this book posits competing views in the practices of policy making and implementation in Kenya.

This book discusses how four African women theologians - namely, Mercy Oduyoye and Teresa Okure from West Africa, together with Anne Nasimiyu and Teresia Hinga from East Africa - participate in the inculturation debate. The scene has largely been set by two African male theologians, namely, John Mbiti and John Pobee with the main themes of Community and Christology respectively.The four women theologians highlight a holistic perspective, thereby opening up inculturation in African theology for critique and differentiation. They examine African culture and demonstrate an understanding of women as a distinct group with inherent varieties within this category. Further, they incorporate the experience of West and East African women in their perspective on inculturation thereby analyzing women's subordination. They show a commitment to the emancipation of women within the framework of inculturation. Consequently, the four African women theologians' perspectives contribute to gendering inculturation in Africa.
