This five-year project strengthened health professional training programs and health workforce management systems throughout Kenya to help the country improve the health of its citizens.

One of the greatest challenges Kenya’s health sector faces is ensuring that all its citizens, including the most vulnerable, have access to well-trained, professional health workers. This USAID-funded program partnered with the government of Kenya, county governments, and 26 training institutions to build the health workforce, in accordance with the country’s HRH strategy and national HIV & reproductive, maternal, newborn, child, and adolescent health (RMNCAH) plans. 

HRH Kenya led partnerships and mobilized resources at the country level—coordinating with national and county governments, the public and private sectors, and faith based organizations—to increase the number of students graduating from Kenya’s health training institutions, improve the quality and applicability of health worker training, ensure better and more harmonized HRH practices, and help health-sector leaders access and use health workforce and epidemiological data to make informed, effective decisions.

IntraHealth has partnered with the government of Kenya for over 30 years to strengthen its health sector. The HRH Kenya program built on the successes of our HRH Capacity Bridge project and FUNZOKenya project.
