Service Overview
Our Advocacy & Policy Research service works to influence health policies at local, county, and national levels in Kenya. We believe that sustainable health improvement requires supportive policies and systems.
We bridge the gap between community needs and policy makers, ensuring that health policies are evidence-based, equitable, and responsive to the realities of Kenyan communities.

- Stakeholder Engagement: Building coalitions with communities, NGOs, and government
