CDC Kenya Annual Report

Since CDC began working in Kenya over 35 years ago, we have remain committed to the agency’s vision of a world where people live safer and healthier lives. Achieving this vision requires us to address current Kenyan health concerns while also responding to the challenges posed by global emerging health risks. In addition to our day-to-day programmatic work, we continue to conduct and support research of global importance.

In 2016, we maintained focus on strengthening Kenya’s ability to prevent, detect and respond to infectious disease threats under the Global Health Security Agenda. Key accomplishments included the establishment of the Public Health Emergency Operations Center with support from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the launch of a workforce development program for public health managers. The Improving Public Health Management for Action (IMPACT) program graduated its first cohort of 14 distinguished fellows in September 2016, and now they are applying their training across the country. CDC Kenya continues to respond to disease outbreaks as they occur in different parts of the country. We supported responses to 30 outbreaks in Kenya and neighboring countries. Working alongside our Kenyan and U.S. interagency partners, we look forward to continue strengthening public health and to helping Kenya reach the goals defined under the WHO International Health Regulations.
