Kilifi County joined the global community in marking World Toilet Day at Msabaha Grounds in Ganda Ward, Malindi Sub-county.

Observed annually on November 19, World Toilet Day highlights the global sanitation crisis affecting more than 3.4 billion people and reinforces the need to achieve SDG 6, clean water and sanitation for all by 2030. The 2025 theme, “We’ll Always Need the Toilet,” emphasizes the enduring importance of strong sanitation systems amid challenges such as climate change, ageing infrastructure, and underinvestment.

In Kilifi County, limited access to safe toilets and the prevalence of open defecation continue to drive sanitation-related diseases such as cholera and typhoid. With the County’s coastal location increasing vulnerability to flooding, more investment is needed to strengthen resilient sanitation infrastructure. Ongoing county and community-led efforts remain vital in improving hygiene and public health.

The event also emphasized the significance of having access to clean and secure toilets, It was pointed out that proper sanitation facilities contribute to dignity, safety, and gender equality, while also fostering social and economic advancement, including safe sanitation for all, establishing a strong foundation for health, dignity, and peace in Kilifi County.

The Department of Health, in collaboration with PS Kenya through the A360 Program, convened a project close-out meeting to reflect on the program’s achievements and implementation journey since its inception in 2012. The meeting provided an opportunity to review key milestones, share lessons learned, and disseminate the program’s overall impact on adolescent and youth sexual and reproductive health (SRH) outcomes.

Participants engaged in discussions on sustainability strategies, with focus on strengthening county-level ownership, resource mobilization, and integration of interventions into existing health systems. The proposed sustainability plan aims to ensure the continuity of quality adolescent and youth SRH services beyond the project period, while reinforcing local capacity and long-term commitment to improving health and wellbeing among young people.

The Department of Health extends its appreciation to PS Kenya and all stakeholders who have contributed to the success of the A360 Program, and looks forward to continued advancing of youth-centered, equitable, and sustainable SRH programming in Kilifi County.
