Tujenge Jamii Project
Strengthening Health and Human Capacity
To support the Kenyan people, the U.S Department of State is focused on strengthening county-level development and Kenyan-owned, - led, and -managed organizations. As part of this effort, the U.S Department of State launched 13 new health programs in 2021 that are currently being implemented by local organizations under an initiative called Kenya Health Partnerships for Quality Services.
Tujenge Jamii project, a U.S Department of State funded service delivery project providing HIV care and treatment, as well as services in maternal and newborn child health (MNCH) and nutrition. The project is focused on increasing the use of county-led health and social services in five counties in Kenya, namely Baringo, Kajiado, Laikipia, Nakuru and Samburu.
The core vision of the Tujenge Jamii Project (TJ) is to create a county-owned, county-led and county-managed integrated platform for delivery of HIV, Maternal, Newborn, and Child Health (MNCH), Water Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) and nutrition services, with close collaboration between health facilities and communities.
In Nakuru, the project is implementing HIV prevention, care and treatment services, MNCH, WASH and nutrition, while in Baringo, Laikipia, Kajiado and Samburu counties, the project is implementing HIV prevention, care and treatment services only.
The Tujenge Jamii Project activities are structured with a purpose to increase use of quality county-led, county-owned and county-managed health and social services.
The project objectives are to:
- Increase access and demand for quality HIV prevention services.
- Increase access and demand for quality HIV treatment services.
- Increase access and demand for quality MNCH, Nutrition, and WASH services; and
- Strengthen capacity of county health systems, local partners, and communities to deliver quality health services.
