CHPs are at the heart of delivering care at the community level. Equipping them with the right skills, secure digital tools and practical guidance on data protection is essential to safeguarding patient privacy and building trust in digital health systems.

They also emphasised that young people and communities must be meaningfully involved as co-designers, innovators, researchers and decision-makers rather than being treated as users or sources of data.

"There is general failure on accountability. When someone says that this building had reached where it had reached without approval is hard to believe. We want someone to take accountability," Erick Okeyo on the Eastleigh building collapse incident #CitizenDayBreak

For sure, Kenya is the right country to host the #TrustSummit2026. The theme: "Weaving Trust for a stronger Order" is timely. @NEPHAKKENYA will be there alongside @UNDP @KAS_Kenya @ForeignOfficeKE @OGI_Kenya @StrathU @President @UNDPKenya @MOH_Kenya @nsdcc_kenya @NASCOP @KenyaGov

As the courts have now cleared the legal challenges facing the implementation of the framework, it is upon communities, including PLHIV and TB affected individuals to hold the government to account on their commitments and to deliver #HealthForAll @USEmbassyKenya @MOHMedServices
For the Kenya PLHIV community, the Kenya–US Health Cooperation Framework came with the advantage of leveraging the Kenya government investment for health - something communities and civil society have been calling for.
The primary goal of the agreement remains to build a self-reliant Kenyan healthcare system aligned with the country's Universal Health Coverage agenda via Taifa Care. This guarantees ‘Health Sovereignty’
However, the main reason we rallied PLHIV community to support the framework is because it relies on a shared-responsibility investment split over five years - Kenya pledging $850 million (Sh110 billion) in domestic health expenditure. This funding scales up progressively to allow Kenya to gradually absorb financial responsibility for its health programs. Is that not what we have been calling for?
The framework also addresses the twin perennial challenges of Human Resources for Health (HRH) and Supply Chain Management. Over five years, Kenya will gradually absorb U.S.- funded front-line health workers onto local public payrolls and assume full procurement of health commodities.

With clarification that the influence on HIV response has shifted to countries and is now with national governments… @ypluskenya @MoyoteKenya @bhesp @AfricaSexWork @IAPAC @jiasociety @MandelaTb @erickokioma @KELINKenya @WACIHealth @AYARHEP_KENYA
Over two days, UNAIDS and partners confronted the difficult questions around the future of the UN JOint Programme on AIDS and the global HIV response.
The discussion was clear: transformation must strengthen — not dilute — the response. Countries and communities must remain at the centre.
UNAIDS’ critical functions must be protected. And no function should move until the capacity, resources and accountability to take it on are in place.
