@NCPD_Kenya Acting Director General, Ms. Lucy Kimondo, is being represented by Nairobi Region Population Coordinator, Ms. Millicent Oluteyo, at the Joint Annual Programme Review (JAPR) 2026 and the launch of the 47 County Syndemic Operational Plans taking place at the Edge Hotel and Convention Centre, Nairobi.
JAPR 2026 serves as Kenya's national platform for assessing progress in the response to HIV and other syndemic diseases, while identifying practical solutions for strengthening health systems and improving service delivery to communities across the country.
Hosted by the National Syndemic Diseases Control Counci, the meeting brings together stakeholders from national and county governments, development and implementing partners, faith-based organizations, civil society, the private sector, academia, the media, and communities in their diversity, including persons living with HIV.
The forum aims to:
-Present a comprehensive evidence base on the current status of Kenya's syndemic disease response;
-Disseminate the Kenya AIDS Integration Strategic Framework (KAISF) 2025–2030, including its six strategic objectives, six pillars, focus areas, and Monitoring, Evaluation, Reporting and Learning (MERL) architecture;
-Present the updated leadership and governance framework covering national and county coordination mechanisms, multisectoral platforms, and community accountability structures; and
-Officially launch the 47 County Syndemic Operational Plans.
Speaking during the meeting, @nsdcc_kenya Chief Executive Officer Dr. Douglas Bosire highlighted the importance of a bottom-up approach in the development of the county operational plans, noting that counties and communities played a central role in shaping the interventions.
He further announced that quarterly reviews of the operational plans will be conducted and supported at the sub-county level to enhance accountability and track implementation progress.
Dr. Bosire also emphasized the need to address emerging sub-populations contributing to new HIV infections and called for increased investment in key interventions targeting vulnerable and key populations.
The official launch of the 47 County Syndemic Operational Plans is expected to be presided over by Cabinet Secretary for Health, Hon. Aden Duale.
The operational plans are expected to strengthen coordinated action at county level and accelerate progress towards ending HIV and other syndemic diseases as public health threats in Kenya.
