President Uhuru Kenyatta last evening launched a seminal report detailing Kenya’s progress towards entrenching equality.
The report titled “Leave no one behind. Peace and Conflict Analysis: Through the eyes of those at risk of being left behind” was prepared by the United Nations office in Kenya in partnership with the Government of Kenya.
