The Kenyan Vision 2030 clearly sets out large infrastructure projects in areas of transport and energy as crucial for achieving progress in economic, social and political spheres of the country. Projects like Standard Gauge Railways, Nairobi commuter network, Olkaria Geothermal plant and Lamu Coal plant are all marked as flagship projects of the Kenyan government that are bringing about progress. This paper is interested in exploring gender agenda of these flagship developments, and investigating the extent to which these projects consider gender difference and have gendered consequences. It will explore how gender considerations differ depending on the donor funding the project (from multinational agencies like the EU to the Chinese-funded ventures) to argue that gender issues are still brushed away as being of little relevance in national development plans. This then limits the full potential to achieve transformations in the economic, social and political spheres as intended by the Vision 2030.
