Abstract
Gender mainstreaming became widely discussed after the UN Third World Women’s Conference which took place in Nairobi, Kenya in 1985. One of the main agendas of the conference was about the discussion within the United Nation Commission on the Status of Women (CSW). Many organizations have now embarked on a transformation process of restructuring their internal systems and procedures and to change the staff attitudes and values. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between Gender impact assessment and the performance ofSabor water project in Elgeiyo Marakwet County, Kenya. A mixed method research approach and a descriptive survey design was employed. The sample size was determined using the Krejcie & Morgan (1970) sample size determination table and the sample size corresponding to 260 households is 152. Stratified random sampling was used to select 152 heads of households from the target population.The questionnaire comprising of both closedended and open-ended questions divided into six sections was administered. An interview guide was also used to collect data from the project staff, county staff and other community leaders who are knowledgeable about the water project. Thematic analysis was used to analyze qualitative data and the results presented in prose. Quantitative data was analyzed by use of both inferential and descriptive statistics. It was found out that gender impact assessment marginally influence the performance of Sabor water project. It is thus recommended that, the county government of Elgeiyo Marakwet should ensure that projects impacts are adequately identified and quantified and mitigation measures are implemented for the negative impacts.
