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.
