Kenya - Ministry of Health
DHA’s work in Kenya illustrates our expertise in developing communications strategies and building local capacity to deliver the strategic objectives.
We researched and created a communication strategy to guide reform of the health sector. The focus of the work was to create a mechanism so that staff could contribute to policies and help the public better manage their own health.
DHA carried out consultation and guided research at all levels of the health sector. Armed with the evidence, we developed a framework strategy and created work plans covering training and capacity building, publications, information management, media, influencing, campaigns, monitoring and evaluation. We developed protocols and tool kits to support staff to deliver the strategy and planned a sensitisation programme to brief staff on the aims of the strategy, their roles and responsibilities.
Over time, we ensured that staff in the Ministry of Health had the knowledge and skills to manage and oversee strategy delivery. We continue to provide support and coaching to staff to ensure the strategy is fully embedded in the existing day to day work of Ministry officials.
