Kenya
The Republic of Kenya is a member state of the African Leaders Malaria Alliance. We support Kenya in the implementation of the country’s scorecard tools, End Malaria Council and Malaria Youth Corps.
Scorecard tools
Scorecard management tools are country-owned tools that provide a snapshot of the country’s national and subnational health performance. The colour-coded scorecard tool helps track performance of priority indicators, identify bottlenecks or gaps, increase accountability, and enhance decision making to drive action.
We support Kenya with 6 scorecard tools:
- malaria scorecard tool
- reproductive, maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health (RMNCAH) scorecard tool
- neglected tropical diseases scorecard tool
- nutrition scorecard tool
- National Vaccines and Immunization Program scorecard tool
- community scorecard tool (in the development stages)

Community scorecard tools are participatory tools used to collect feedback from community members to assess the quality of care, increase accountability, inform actions to improve local health services and enhance community ownership and engagement.
End Malaria Council
The Kenya End Malaria Council launched in February 2021. We continue to support Kenya with the ongoing operations of the End Malaria Council.
National End Malaria Councils are public-private partnerships established to help accelerate progress against malaria. The council is a country-led and owned initiative that brings together senior-level, multi-sectoral stakeholders. It is focused on driving action and accountability, resource mobilisation and advocacy in the fight against malaria.

Malaria Youth Corps
The Kenya Malaria Youth Corps launched in July 2021.
National malaria youth corps are involved in a range of areas to improve action and accountability in the fight against malaria and to improve access to universal health coverage.
