End of Project Evaluation - Support to the Realization of Human Rights and Access to Justice in Kenya

 
Background: In August 2010 Kenya promulgated a new Constitution which for the first time includes an advanced and comprehensive Bill of Rights. 

Article 59 (1) of the 2010 Constitution established the Kenya National Human Rights and Equality Commission (KNHREC) to monitor implementation and to operationalize the Bill of Rights. 

However, Article 59 (4) allowed Parliament through legislation to restructure the KNHREC into two or more separate Commissions. 

 

In 2011 laws were enacted to establish three separate but related successors Commissions to the KNHREC; The Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR), The National Gender and Equality Commission (NGEC), and The Commission on Administrative Justice (CAJ), also known as the Office of the Ombudsman.

The three Commissions with very distinct mandates present the opportunity of devoted institutions that are practically effective towards promotion of good governance, administrative justice, gender equality and non-discrimination, and human rights protection of vulnerable groups. 

The Commissions achieve this through respective mandates in promoting human rights compliance pursuant to their core functions of monitoring, education, advocacy, capacity strengthening, advisory, research, and complaints handling and redress.

Objective: The KNCHR, The CAJ, The NGEC and the UNDP seek to engage a private consultancy to undertake an end phase evaluation of the human rights and access to justice project.
