Achieving gender equality and empowering women is the fifth of the seventeen Sustainable Development Goals that were approved by United Nations as the 2030 Global Agenda for Development. A growing amount of research that has been done shows that countries that fail to address gender barriers and empowerment of women are losing out in economic growth. In Kenya, efforts by the government towards women empowerment through opportunities such as Uwezo Fund, Women Enterprise Fund and other non-formal initiatives like Table Banking System have not borne much fruit. There exist many barriers to accessing these opportunities thus making the country lag behind in having women compete favorably with their male counterparts. There is need to assess and explore the opportunities and constraints for development funds access towards empowerment of women. The objectives were: to find out opportunities and constraints that are available to women in accessing development funds, to suggest mechanisms of overcoming the constraints to ensure empowerment of women in Kenya. Research methodology used was quantitative whereas descriptive research design was adopted. The findings from the study indicate that majority of women who have access to development funds are empowered economically and have acquired entrepreneurial skills thus spurring economic growth of the country. The findings will be used to sensitize and encourage women on the need to exploit the available opportunities.
