A review of the legal framework governing human rights and public procurement in Kenya
This is a review of the legal framework governing human rights and public procurement in Kenya. It has been prepared in the context of the implementation of the National Action Plan on Business and Human Rights (NAP), which contains a policy action stating that the Government will:
strengthen leverage in using public procurement to promote human rights. This will involve the review of existing public procurement policies, laws and standards and their impacts with due regard to the state’s human rights obligations including the participation of women, persons with disability and other vulnerable groups.
The review identifies laws, regulations, standard tender documents, and guidance relevant to public procurement, human rights (with a focus on gender equality), and responsible business conduct in Kenya. Further research and stakeholder consultation would be required to review the full impact of these on the human rights of Kenyans and those working in the supply chains.
It was developed by the Office of the Attorney General and Department of Justice (Kenya), the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights, and the Danish Institute for Human Rights to support the implementation of the Kenyan National Action Plan on Business and Human Rights.
