Kenya's prioritised, costed roadmap to close IHR capacity gaps and meet the regional 7-1-7 target.

Brief The National Action Plan for Health Security translates Kenya's assessment findings into a prioritised, costed and time-bound set of actions across the IHR technical areas. This summary presents the plan's strategic priorities, the highest-impact activities for the current period, and how they align to the regional preparedness framework and the 7-1-7 target. It reflects Kenya's specific risk profile — rvf, cholera, dengue and mpox; busy mombasa seaport and jkia air poe; pastoralist cross-border corridors with 5 neighbours — and identifies where regional technical assistance and cross-border coordination add the most value. The full plan sits alongside the country's contingency plans, risk assessments and readiness assessments on the country knowledge page.

Strategic priorities

The plan concentrates on the capability domains where Kenya's gaps most threaten timely detection and response, sequenced by impact and feasibility.

Alignment to the regional target

Every priority is mapped to its contribution to the 7-1-7 timeline so national and regional measurement stay consistent.

Regional assistance

The summary flags where ECSA-HC technical assistance and cross-border coordination are expected to accelerate delivery.
