Kenya risks losing progress made in eliminating three killer diseases; Malaria, HIV and tuberculosis, due to inadequate domestic funding.
This follows suspension of activities by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR).
The abrupt move has caught Kenya off-guard, with no clear structures in place to transition from foreign aid to sustainable domestic funding.
In 2020, Kenya initiated efforts to transition from donor dependency to domestic health financing.
