Our Loation

This study was commissioned by the Centre for Governance and Development (CGD) to assess the gender dimensions and implications of coal mining in Mui Basin, Kitui County. Situated within the dynamics of emerging extractive industry in Kenya, it was tailored to become a case study for promoting gender mainstreaming in the sector. It was carried out in the four mining zones of Mui Basin namely: Block A (Zombe), Block B (Mutito), Block C (Mui) and Block D (Karung’a) areas. A mixed method approach involving quantitative and qualitative data collection was used.
