2. About the Health NGOs’ Network (HENNET)
The Health NGOs’ Network (HENNET) was founded in 2005 by 7 Health CSOs comprising both NGOs and FBO members and was registered in 2007 as an NGO by the NGOs Coordination Board with the goal of coordinating and networking the CSOs in the health sector. As a network, we promote civil society’s roles and engagements to transform Kenya’s health sector. HENNET has a membership of over 112 members as of 2023, which comprises both local and international NonGovernmental Organizations (NGOs), Faith-Based Organizations (FBOs), and Research Institutions working in all the 47 Counties in Kenya, but all focused-on health and health-related issues.
Background Information
The 2010 Kenyan Constitution guarantees an all-inclusive rights-based approach to health service delivery, including the right to healthcare services and reproductive health care. Immunization is one of the most impactful and cost-effective public health interventions available, averting millions of deaths every year and providing protection from preventable diseases. It also brings children and families into contact with the health systems, offering them an opportunity for delivery of other basic health services and laying the foundation for primary health care.
The immunization program in Kenya is run by both the national and county governments, with the national government responsible for policy formulation, oversight, vaccine procurement, transport, and technical support. The counties are responsible for the distribution of vaccines, logistics, and human resources. The immunization program is funded by both national and county governments, GAVI (Global Vaccines Alliance), development partners, and private sources. Effective planning and prioritization of immunization programs at the county level are key for sustainability.
Financing of vaccines in Kenya is still largely donor-dependent, which poses an existential threat to health service delivery and financial sustainability. As Kenya transitions from donor-funded to domestically funded programs, effective planning and prioritization of immunization programs at the county level would be key for sustainability. It is against this background that HENNET sought to undertake two study reports on Immunization financing in Kenya and Immunization Landscaping in Kenya to understand the wins, challenges and opportunities for advocacy in the country’s immunization program.
