The Government of Kenya continues to support and encourage women group initiatives which have enabled women to have adequate space to form and join organisations. This effort has made it possible for women to address challenges like poverty which affects majority of them.
Due to a conducive environment, the number of women groups has continued to increase. The number of registered women groups increased by 1,009 to 143,792 in 2011. Membership increased from 5,579,639 in 2010 to 5,618,064 in 2011.
