Organizational Capacity

Keprecon enjoys excellent working relationships with Kenya’s national government (National Assembly, Ministry of Health, Ministry of Education and Ministry of Finance), and devolved governments (Council of Governors and the 47 county governments). Through these partnerships, Keprecon works in all geographies in Kenya-rural, urban, marginalized and hard to reach. Keprecon has a representative/focal person in all counties allowing direct engagement with county governments and other grassroots implementing partners.

Keprecon has a robust projects portfolio comprising health systems strengthening, implementation research, advocacy, social and behavior change, and clinical trials. Over the years, we have implemented 139 projects across Kenya. In line with our core values and principles, we hold periodic consultative forums, joint programme planning and review sessions, grant review and update meetings with our development partners. For each of the projects, we engage with funding organizations to share implementation experience and lessons learnt, to disseminate evidence, leanings and to submit technical and financial reports.

Keprecon collaborates with national and county governments, international and local NGOs, academic institutions, health professional associations, the private sector, CSOs, and FBOs in its programming. Through these partnerships, we have conducted capacity building, developed and disseminated in-service training curricula, policies, guidelines, job aids, factsheets, IEC materials, and policy briefs. Additionally, we have strengthened health infrastructure, undertaken health research, advocacy, and social and behavior change initiatives.

We also work with both state and non-state actors in facilitating commemoration of annual health events including World Malaria Day, World Immunization Week, Malezi Bora Week, Day of the African Child, World Hunger Day, Children’s Day, World Breastfeeding Week, World Contraception Day, Adolescent Health Forum, Universal Health Coverage Day, World Prematurity Day, World Pneumonia Day, World Cancer Awareness Month and International HPV Awareness Campaign, among others. Key evidence-based health advocacy messages, interviews and recordings are developed and disseminated across various mass media platforms to create awareness for social and behavior change targeting key decision makers, health care providers, and the public.

We enjoy strong advisory governance and high caliber leadership supported by a very efficient Secretariat.

We are active on social media platforms. We utilize our handles on X (@keprecon), Instagram (@keprecon_research), Facebook (Keprecon) and LinkedIn (Keprecon) to inform, educate, share, clarify, engage and advocate, but above all learn through public and stakeholder feedback.
