MCC GENDER INTEGRATION ACTIVITY

Kenya Urban Mobility and Growth Threshold Program - TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT - GENDER INTEGRATION ACTIVITY: The Sexual Harassment Prevention Activity aims to address persistent problems with harassment of women on matatus.

The Activity shall support a consultant firm experienced in paratransit, private transport services, or transport training and capacity building (the Sexual Harassment Prevention Consultants).

The Sexual Harassment Prevention Consultants aim to assist the Accountable Entity to identify, train, and support a select group of matatu owners and operators to (i) raise awareness, deliver training, and improve standards and practices related to the identification and prevention of sexual harassment in all aspects of matatu service; (ii) develop and promote an easily identifiable certification program for matatu owners and operators that have completed rigorous training and agreed to provide increased safety for women customers; and (iii) implement a functional system of self-regulation for reporting and addressing sexual harassment complaints.

It is envisioned that non-governmental organizations that have experience working on sexual harassment issues in Nairobi (collectively, the Implementers) shall be engaged to support this Activity.. .The Accountable Entity shall establish an advisory committee comprised of civil society organizations, Implementers, public sector representatives, and matatu owners to make recommendations on a quarterly basis on design decisions and adaptative strategies for the certification program...Where possible, the training that will be provided under this Activity may seek opportunities to highlight public safety concerns on matatus impacting women, people with disabilities, the elderly, and youth.
