USAID Stawisha Pwani Stawisha Pwani has modelled a groundbreaking, free, and open-access automated methadone dispensing system that revolutionizes Opioid Replacement Therapy (ORT). The innovation replaces error-prone manual records and provides an alternative and more efficient system with a high-accountability digital framework.

Engineered to function seamlessly offline, the system enhances clinical efficiency and patient safety through real-time tracking and specialized modules for complex dosing needs in prisons and takeaway settings. With an initial remarkable user satisfaction level, this innovation significantly mitigates diversion risks and strengthens compliance safeguards, transforming the delivery of ORT into a transparent, secure, and highly intuitive process that prioritizes both provider oversight and opioid users' recovery.

Early this week, young people truly took center stage at the Y-NAP Knowledge Management & Learning Forum. 💙✨

Through handmade, heartfelt presentations, SRH Champions from Nairobi, Bungoma & Samburu showcased their creativity, leadership and the real impact they’re making in their communities — all through the Y-NAP Project supported by UNAIDS and County Governments in these counties.

Designed from the start as a youth-led program, Y-NAP continues to empower young people while strengthening support from county governments, religious leaders, parents, caregivers and community leaders.
The energy, honesty and passion in the room showed us one thing clearly the work is powerful, and this is just the beginning of something even greater taking root in our communities.

This forum also gave young people a chance to tell their own stories of impact through handmade presentations, showcasing their creativity and the unique ways they choose to express their work in the community.

From the start, LVCT Kenya and UNAIDS designed Y-NAP as a youth-led program, empowering young people and strengthening support from county governments, religious leaders, parents and community members. The impact is already taking shape — and this is just the beginning of something even greater in our communities.

Reducing new HIV infections, teenage pregnancies, and violence against women and children is a shared responsibility, one that grows stronger through collaboration, innovation, and community-driven solutions.
We remain committed to supporting programmes that uplift young people, strengthen health systems, and promote safe, healthy communities.
Together, we continue to Rethink, Rebuild, and Rise toward a future where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

The 1st Annual International Scientific Conference on Community Health Practice has been a landmark event in , uniting community health leaders to reimagine the future of community health. Here are the key highlights and a vital call to action.

Key Highlights
• The event centered on “Reimagining Community Health Practice: Innovations, Partnerships and Equity for Achieving Universal Health Coverage (UHC).”

• The pivotal role of Community Health Promoters (CHPs) was celebrated, with Kisumu County Governor, Prof. Anyang' Nyong'o, highlighting them as "the most transformative force in the health sector" for achieving tangible gains like reducing infant mortality.

• A powerful consensus emerged that the elevation of CHPs must be matched with a "commensurate elevation of their operational capacity and welfare," including appropriate remuneration.

• Groundbreaking digital tools like the Electronic Community Health Information System (eCHIS) were featured, demonstrating how technology transforms care delivery and improves maternal and newborn survival.

Call to Action
Community Health Promoters are the heartbeat of a resilient health system. For Universal Health Coverage to become a reality, we must ensure they are fully equipped, digitized, and fairly remunerated.

Let's build this future together. Continue the conversation, share your insights, and explore how you can partner in this mission.

At the Conference in , our Executive Director, Dr. Lilian Otiso, presented a comprehensive framework to bridge the critical gap between formal health systems and community-based care.

Dr. Otiso emphasized the core challenge, stating, “Without professionalizing Community Health Providers and integrating them into a recognized legal system and structure, it is difficult to persuade health workers that these lay cadres have a role to support preventive and promotive work.”

She advocates for a clear definition, documentation, and legal mandate for the Community Health Provider role to establish legitimacy and clarify their scope of practice.

At LVCT Health, we have established Work Improvement Teams that formally link community and facility-level health workers. These teams are trained in quality-improvement approaches, empowering them to use community-generated data to solve specific health challenges, such as increasing antenatal care contacts.

This integrated model is demonstrating measurable success. As Dr. Otiso noted, “Health workers appreciate that there is value in data coming from the community and ensuring it links and contributes to the quality of health services.”

At the Inaugural Annual Conference on Community Health Practice in , Governor Prof. Anyang' Nyong'o, Governor of Kisumu County, in his keynote address, lauded Community Health Promoters ( ) as the most transformative force in the health sector.

He highlighted their instrumental role in achieving tangible gains, including a reduction in infant mortality and an increase in safe facility-based deliveries and moving communities away from the risks of unsupervised home births, creating a vital link between homes and clinical care.

To secure and build upon these life-saving results, the Governor asserted a critical principle: "The elevation of community health promoters' position must be matched by a commensurate elevation of their operational capacity and welfare." This statement underscores a fundamental commitment to supporting those on the frontlines of community health.
