SUBJECT: POST'S RESPONSE TO PROPOSED WJEI PROGRAM FOR KENYA 
OUTLINE 
 
REF: A. STATE 50186 
 
     B. 05 STATE 168040 
 
1. (U) SUMMARY: Post welcomes the Interagency Assessment 
Team,s recommendations for a Women's Justice and Empowerment 
Initiative (WJEI) in Kenya and its request for Post input on 
the advisability, feasibility, and costs of the proposed 
activities, as well as a second area for geographic focus. 
Post endorses a WJEI program in Kenya with an estimated 
budget of USD 5 million in year one and concurs with the 
Team,s recommendations to focus the program in two 
geographic areas (Post suggests Nairobi/Kibera and Mombasa) 
and to implement activities in three core components: 
Awareness, Legal/Judiciary, and Support Services to Victims 
of Violence Against Women. Post believes that the existing 
RLA position in Nairobi is able to integrate WJEI programming 
into the current scope of work; Post does not endorse the 
creation of a second WJEI-specific RLA position in Nairobi. 
END SUMMARY. 
 
WJEI Program in General and Result to be Achieved 
--------------------------------------------- ---- 
 
2. (U) This cable responds specifically to the 
recommendations contained in Ref A.  Post endorses the WJEI 
in Kenya with an estimated budget of USD 5 million in year 
one and concurs with the Team,s findings and recommendations 
for conducting activities in three areas: Awareness, 
Legal/Judiciary and Support Services to Victims of Violence 
Against Women. Below is a detailed response tracking the 
Team,s specific program recommendations as well as 
suggestions for efficient and effective contracting 
mechanisms, proposed level of funding for each major 
component, and suggestions for WJEI coordination and its 
impact on USG human resources. There is further consensus on 
the advisability of a geographic focus and Post recommends 
Mombasa in addition to Nairobi/Kibera. This proposal is based 
on need as well as our belief that the program could be 
initiated on a timely basis building on the positive 
relationships that have been established under the 
President,s Emergency Plan For Aids Relief (PEPFAR). 
 
3. (U) The proposed program results may be overly ambitious. 
However, Post feels confident that the program can achieve 
key results in the targeted geographic areas in a three year 
timeframe including: an increased awareness of sexual 
offenses and the rights of women to be free from such 
offenses; increased interaction and coordination among 
police, prosecutors, and health workers responding to 
incidents of sexual offenses; and improved and more 
accessible counseling and support services for victims of 
sexual offenses. Given Kenya,s lack of statistical data, a 
monitoring and evaluation (M&E) system as well as baseline 
data will need to be established to assess the program 
impact. Establishment of an M&E system is built into all 
program components and estimated budgets. 
 
Awareness 
--------- 
 
4. (U) Post endorses the team,s recommendation to support 
awareness activities aimed at addressing attitudes toward 
women as well as the content of the sexual offenses bill by 
providing grants to such organizations as men,s groups, 
faith based organizations, and traditional leaders, among 
others. Post further notes that USAID is in the process of 
contracting an umbrella grants management program. This 
mechanism can be utilized to award subgrants to Kenyan NGOs 
to implement awareness activities outlined in Ref A under 
3.A, B, E, F, and G. 
 
5. (U) With respect to recommendation 3.C, note that the 
Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the Department of Defense 
(DOD), and USAID all currently support programs with elements 
of the uniformed services including the Military, Kenya 
Wildlife Service, Prisons, Police, and National Youth 
Service. Post welcomes the idea of adding a gender violence 
prevention element to these programs and the PEPFAR Country 
Team will look into amending its current program to promote 
this synergy. This can be accomplished with current PEPFAR 
funding. WJEI funding, at least during the initial year, is 
not necessary to accomplish this purpose. 
 
6. (U) Post also endorses the concept of an awareness raising 
 
campaign in the two target geographic areas as outlined in 
3.D. Post recommends further verification as to whether the 
"adopt a light8 proposal is viable, and would suggest 
similar types of activities, potentially via &adopt a 
light8, radio, and other relevant sources. (Note: Radio or 
other campaigns would cost approximately USD 700,000, which 
could be built into small grants. End Note.) Post estimates 
an overall budget of approximately USD 1,800,000 for the 
Awareness component in the first year of funding. 
 
Legal/Judiciary 
--------------- 
 
7. (U) Post endorses the proposal to coordinate activities 
under the GOK led Governance, Justice, Law and Order Sector 
(GJLOS) Reform Program, where feasible. In addition to the 
Legal/Judiciary component, the Awareness component will also 
need to be closely coordinated with the GJLOS Reform Program. 
The Team,s candor regarding the challenges of working with 
the police is appreciated. Similarly, Post concurs with the 
Team's concerns regarding funding for the DNA lab. Post 
suggests deferring any decision on assistance for general 
police training and the DNA lab, outlined in sections 5 and 
7.E, to year two of the program. 
 
8. (U) Notwithstanding the articulated challenges, limited 
targeted assistance to the police, based on ongoing programs 
evidencing signs of success, is warranted. Specifically, Post 
endorses expanding Safer World,s current community policing 
program to include activities related to gender desks and 
community policing as outlined in 7.A and B of Ref A. Post,s 
preference for funding such activities would be via 
USAID/Kenya,s Office for Democracy and Governance unless 
Washington/INL prefers to obligate the money directly to 
Safer World. 
 
9. (U) While concurring with the Team,s risk assessment 
related to prosecutorial support, Post endorses specific 
training for police prosecutors on sexual offenses, 
identified in section 7.C, as long as it can be built into 
current ongoing support to develop the institutional capacity 
of the Department of Public Prosecutions (DPP). Funding for 
the training could be added to the ongoing Department of 
Justice (DOJ) program. It may be worth reiterating that 
current USG support foresees the development of a 
comprehensive prosecutors, training curriculum. This 
envisions training for targeted police prosecutors, who are 
scheduled to be moved from the supervision of the Chief of 
Police to the Attorney General,s Office. Although this move 
has not yet been operationalized, the authority providing for 
this move does allow current USG programs to provide overall 
prosecutorial training to the police prosecutors. Thus, the 
addition of a specialized unit on sexual offenses should be 
feasible. 
 
10. (U) Post also concurs with recommendation 7.D which 
proposes to team police constables, nurses at health 
dispensaries, and social workers. This would be implemented 
in partnership with PEPFAR. More specifically, funding for 
this activity could be included in the APHIA II grant with a 
specific reference to creating linkages with the Safer World 
activities. 
 
11. (U) Post estimates an overall budget of approximately USD 
1,100,000 for the first year of the Legal/Judiciary component. 
 
Support Services to Victims of Violence Against Women 
--------------------------------------------- -------- 
 
12. (U) Post acknowledges the statement that Nairobi Women,s 
Hospital (NWH) has been receiving patient referrals from 
Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) for post-exposure 
prophylaxis (PEP). This is an important finding and PEPFAR 
will ensure that training and support is provided at KNH so 
PEP referrals are not necessary in the future. This can be 
accomplished with existing PEPFAR funding. Ref A then 
proceeds to identify six bullets of suggested interventions 
in Section 10. Post endorses all of the proposed 
interventions. The PEPFAR Country Team will lead these 
activities and has ongoing support mechanisms where funding 
can be obligated. For example, the Family Health 
International (FHI) follow-on program could take a leading 
role in facilitating dialogue and partnership between KNH and 
the police post at its gate. It is also worth restating that 
 
bullet four, ensuring the availability of PEP at KHN, will be 
accommodated with current PEPFAR funding. The other five 
bullets would require WJEI support. 
 
13. (U) Post welcomes the creation a PEPFAR satellite program 
in Mombasa and the PEPFAR Country Team would lead this 
element. WJEI could complement PEPFAR activities by 
broadening the array of facilities, counseling and referral 
services to encompass the health and medium)to)long term 
counseling needs of victims of violence. It could also 
sponsor training in conjunction with NWH and KNH for 
satellite personnel. However, based on the overall discussion 
of the viability of supporting shelters under this program, 
Post does not recommend including an element on shelter 
facilities as outlined in the second bullet in section 11. 
Similarly, at this point, Post suggests limiting WJEI 
programs to two geographic areas, Kibera and Mombasa, given 
the need to ensure adequate resources and results in the 
proposed program's limited duration. 
 
14. (U) Post estimates an overall budget of approximately USD 
2,100,000 for the first year of the Support Services to 
Victims of Violence Against Women component. 
 
USG Personnel 
------------- 
15. (U) Post agrees that DPP activities will be more 
effective if implementation is coordinated by a DOJ Resident 
Legal Advisor (RLA). A DOJ RLA is scheduled to arrive at post 
in May 2006. His portfolio includes overseeing training to 
strengthen the capacity of the public prosecutors. Post (and 
the incoming RLA) is confident that the proposed discrete 
training for police prosecutors under the WJEI program could 
be effectively integrated into the overall support to the DPP 
and could be integrated into the RLA,s portfolio without 
unduly burdening his workload. It is also worth highlighting 
that the DOJ employs a full time Kenyan attorney to assist 
with this program. If further assistance is needed for 
particular training sessions, then additional TDY assistance 
could be utilized. However, given the amount of assistance 
targeted at the DPP, the duration of the assistance, and the 
expected arrival of a DOJ RLA to strengthen the DPP, Post 
does not endorse the creation of a second RLA position in 
Nairobi.  Post further reminds the Team of our security and 
footprint concerns, which argue for managing a program of 
this size through positions already present in Nairobi. 
 
16. (U) Post recommends that the main point of coordination 
for the WJEI Kenya program be the USAID/Kenya Office for 
Democracy and Governance for two reasons. First, given the 
proximity of the WJEI objectives to USAID,s ongoing 
democracy and governance strategic objective, USAID believes 
existing human resources are sufficient to coordinate this 
initiative in country. Second, USAID is the deputy lead donor 
for the Governance, Justice, Law and Order Reform Sector 
(GJLOS) Program and is best suited to ensure that the WJEI 
Kenya program is coordinated via that mechanism as requested 
by the GOK and suggested by the Team. 
 
17. (U) Finally, the WJEI-PEPFAR link will be capitalized on 
by adding a WJEI agenda item to periodic PEPFAR interagency 
team meetings and assuring that USAID/Kenya Office for 
Democracy and Governance personnel are represented at those 
meetings.
