Implementation of the Bill of Rights
National Policy and Action Plan on Human Rights-
The sector will prioritize the adoption and implementation of the national policy and action plan on human rights which provide a comprehensive framework for the implementation of the Bill of Rights and adoption of the policy by Parliament as well as its dissemination to stakeholders.
Human Rights Based Approach to Development
The Constitution 2010 espouses a human-rights based approach to development by encapsulating important national values and principles of governance, which must inform all aspects of government development planning. The sector therefore will undertake to build capacity and implement human-rights based approaches to development and service delivery. The sector will further ensure that the rights of all Kenyans are preserved through good governance, democracy, respect for the rule of law, social protection and welfare for the disadvantaged
Human Rights Reporting Mechanism
Over the medium term period, the sector will continue to develop timely and periodic reporting on national, regional and international obligations on human rights treaties that Kenya has ratified or acceded to.
