Dr. Rose Oronje, Director, Public Policy and Knowledge @Afidep: Over the last two decades, especially from the early 2000s, we saw a surge in donor funding into our health systems. And it has made a huge impact. It’s saved lives and improved outcomes. But now we must ask, how do…
Dr. Rose Oronje, Director, Public Policy and Knowledge @Afidep: So, what if we reimagined health more holistically? It’s not just about the funding—which is, of course, important—but about enabling people to own their health. #KEGThoughtLeadership #ODACutsImpact
Dr. Rose Oronje, Director, Public Policy and Knowledge @Afidep: We must acknowledge that health is not the hospital. Health is about how we live our lives every day—what we eat, how we move, how we manage stress. #KEGThoughtLeadership #ODACutsImpact
Dr. Githinji Gitahi Group CEO @Amref_Worldwide: We must accept the fiscal reality and ask: How can we make our people healthier with the limited resources we have? How do we produce health, rather than just provide healthcare? #KEGThoughtLeadership #ODACutsImpact
Dr. Githinji Gitahi Group CEO @Amref_Worldwide: Health in Kenya is not primarily funded by donors. It is funded by citizens through taxes and personal spending. That’s a critical point to understand when we discuss donor dependency and domestic accountability.…
Ongoing panel discussion on the impact of ODA cuts in health and development. #KEGThoughtLeadership #ODACutsImpact
MaqC Gitau, Group CEO,@DevelopDynamics: What role should African governments, private sector actors, and media play in ensuring that aid dollars translate into real impact? #KEGThoughtLeadership #ODACutsImpact
MaqC Gitau, Group CEO, @DevelopDynamics : The ODA cuts are not just about losing money. It is about losing reach, losing trust, and losing impact. #KEGThoughtLeadership #ODACutsImpact
MaqC Gitau, Group CEO, Development Dynamics: When we talk about ODA we must also talk about the opaqueness that surrounds it. Aid does not always directly benefit the partner countries for whom it is intended. #KEGThoughtLeadership #ODACutsImpact
Dr. Willis Akhwale, Special Advisor @EndMalariaKenya: The reduction in Official Development Assistance (ODA) is not just a budget line adjustment—it is a crisis of resilience, one that exposes the structural gaps we have not addressed over the years. #KEGThoughtLeadership…
Dr. Willis Akhwale, Special Advisor @EndMalariaKenya: When substantial donor funding was available, we also had the opportunity to invest in research and development (R&D). However, I must ask: What were our priorities? Did we pursue research that would immediately impact…
Dr. Willis Akhwale, Special Advisor @EndMalariaKenya: Today, as resources decline and the funding landscape shifts, we must urgently revisit the sustainability conversation—this time, not as a footnote, but as a core strategy. #KEGThoughtLeadership #ODACutsImpact
Dr. Willis Akhwale, Special Advisor @EndMalariaKenya: Often, we only calculate the unit cost of health commodities, but effective program delivery requires much more, including skilled human resources, a responsive health system, monitoring & accountability systems, and…
Dr. Willis Akhwale, Special Advisor at the End Malaria Council (@EndMalariaKenya), shares insights from his extensive experience in the public health sector. As we discuss the severe reductions in ODA today, I want to reflect on two key issues: 📌True Cost of Program Delivery…
KEG CEO Rosalia Omungo: We need to reframe the narrative on African agency. We believe in advancing a narrative of co-responsibility—one that clearly outlines the roles that African governments, the private sector, and philanthropists must play in financing sustainable health…
