Child Survival & Development: Water Sanitation & Hygiene (WASH) Water supply was further expanded to communities & health facilities with a focus on the arid & semi-arid districts to
improve access to at least 20 litres of water per capita within 1km of their dwelling collected within 30 minutes round trip. Platforms to expand services targeting the poorest were established through the
Community-Led Total Sanitation approach for increased access to sanitation, 1,265 were triggered (accepted to build their own latrines) using CLTS (community led total sanitation) & 773 villages out of
855 villages with ODF claims (those already using their own household latrines) were verified by DPHO (District Public health officer) and support to school WASH. Strengthened capacities both at the
institutional & community level for management & sustainability of water facilities. UNICEF support and dialogue with the partners culminated in the declaration of ODF Kenya by President Kibaki and the
road map for CLTS which getting resourced by various partners. The formation and strengthening of WESCOORD which has also provided important lessons for the regular programme was a great
breakthrough in this area.

with partners. 200 sanitation promoters have been trained on facilitating
the CLTS process focusing on triggering community action for
improved sanitation & hygiene practices leading to ODF community.
To date the trained promoters have provided technical support to the
development & completion of 81 District Implementation Action Plans
for CLTS.
 Training of the communities & partners on participatory engagement
has been undertaken to enhance sustainability of behaviour change & to
strengthen equity focus for reaching the most vulnerable &
marginalised communities
 Sanitation is still not a priority in
budget allocations thus there is need
for heightened & systematic
advocacy.
 Increased participation of schools & communities including parent
teachers associations, school management committees, teachers &
children in the planning, implementation, Operation & Maintenance
(O&M) & monitoring of WASH services in schools.
 Outreach activities conducted, including sharing of CLTS experiences
& school health clubs that promoted hygiene practices in families & the
wider communities.
 Construction of model gender sensitive sanitary facilities separate for
boys & girls, with screens for privacy, safety & dignity have been taken
up by other partners
 The design of the facilities are also adapted for children with physical
disabilities by providing wheel chair ramps & fixtures inside the
facilities; for use by small children (ECD) by using key hole shaped
latrine squat holes & suitable heights for hand washing facilities;
Bathrooms with running showers for menstrual hygiene management
have been provided as part of the girl’s latrine blocks; developed to
support environmental conservation.
 All schools received a comprehensive WASH in School package
comprising safe water supply, sanitary facilities with provision of hand
washing, a hygiene promotion package & capacity development for
School Management Committees (SMC)
 The World Toilet Day was celebrated in various districts/counties while
the national event was celebrated in Kajiado County where school
Health/WASH clubs in schools were formed or reactivated in the
County.
 UNICEF together with GoK partners from MEWNR & MoH the Sector
a range of trainings & activities aimed at building WASH Sector
capacity to plan & coordinate Emergency WASH response at National
& County levels completed.
 Developed a WASH Sector Resilience Strategy to provide the
framework for coordinated WASH Sector DRR programming.

(a brief & precise description for each
Result description in column 3)
 UNICEF has secured the commitment of county Governors of
Homabay & Siaya to commit to eliminating preventable maternal,
newborn & child deaths & prioritize investment in CHS. Similar work
to expand iCCM & secure the governors’ commitment is underway in
Siaya & Turkana Counties as well. Approximately 36.8% of the
population is now receiving basic services from Community Health
Extension Workers & Community Health Volunteers. The Community
Health Services Strategy is being revised with inputs from stakeholders,
to align it with devolved governance.
 Immunization coverage increased to 84% in 3013 from 77% in 2009.
 In response to the polio outbreak, an estimated 8.3 million children
under 5 years old in all districts & adults in the Dadaab refugee camp &
5 host districts have been vaccinated to boost population immunity
against polio. This resulted in the timely interruption of the polio
outbreak within 3 months as stipulated by the World health Assembly
guidelines.
 UNICEF supported an assessment of the Country’s vaccine
management system & development of a national cold chain expansion,
replacement & maintenance plan. 30 Nurse Tutors received training on
the revised EPI curriculum to improve the overall quality of national
EPI training.
 During the year 1.3 million (80%) women of child bearing age in 38
high risk districts were successfully vaccinated against tetanus & no
stock out of routine childhood vaccines has been reported since 2012 at
the provincial level. Finally, the HPV demonstration project in Kitui
resulted in 90% of the target population of 21,000 girls being
vaccinated.
 UNICEF Kenya supported the development of numerous progressive
policies & strategies in 2013, namely; 2014-2018 CPD, 2013-2017
Medium Term Plan II, 2013-2017 HRH Strategic Plan, 2013-2017
KHSSP III, 2012-2030 KHPF.

CHILD PROTECTION PROGRAMME: With UNICEF support, government’s cash transfer programme for orphans & vulnerable children (OVC-CT) was expanded ten-fold from 15,240
households in 2009 to over 150,000 households, with over 500,000 children in 2013, leading to improvements on education, nutrition, & behavior indicators. UNICEF support towards the development of a
systems approach to child protection has laid the foundation for a more integrated approach to prevent & respond to violence, abuse, exploitation & family separation, including in emergencies.

The first national budget under the devolved structure was in 2013,
incorporated the first county planning & budgeting processes, & the
transfer of initial functions from national to county governments.
While the overall Government budget grew by 12.4% the overall social
sector budget grew by only 6.5%. Resources for several critical
interventions for children’s rights increased: Kshs 8.4 billion for
doubling the number of orphans & vulnerable children covered by cash
transfers from 150,000 to 310,000; KShs 3.8 billion for free deliveries
in all public facilities, & KShs 700 million for free access to all health
centres & dispensaries. New funds provided for the expansion of the
Community Health strategy through recruitment of community nurses
& community health workers. In the education sector, KShs 400
million allocated for the presidential secondary school bursary scheme
for orphans. An equalization fund of 0.5% of government revenue
established to provide additional resources for the construction of social
infrastructure in disadvantaged areas.
The first County Integrated Development Plans developed. UNICEF
provided technical support for integrating children’s rights into the
plans in some of the disadvantaged counties, & in some cases resulted
in recognition of critical bottlenecks for children. UNICEF supported
counties to undertake social intelligence reporting (SIR) in 49 sub
counties. In recognition of the major bottleneck related to absence of
risk reduction measures, disaster risk reduction was integrated in SIR in
Turkana & Garissa counties. But, structures for planning at county
level have not yet been clearly established in all counties, while
mechanisms for public participation, & for linking plans & budgets, are
not yet clear. A revised Social Budgeting guideline is expected by the
end of the year that is adapted to the current devolved context. The
revised guideline & the completion of a system for electronic data
capture for SIR in 2014 will facilitate more frequent & timely reporting
& analysis of implications for decision-making.

report to be summarized.
The second periodic State party report on the ACRWC, the AFFC +10
& WFFC+10 reports, produced with UNICEF support, are all currently
under review & refinement to incorporate the latest evidence, &
immediately thereafter submitted to the respective committees.
Critical issues that are highlighted through these reports include:
The need to focus more on neonatal & maternal care, including
increased skilled birth attendance in order to make faster progress
towards the MDG targets on under five mortality
Low access to ECDE, & inequalities in access, with some counties
having only 20% access. Thus a large% of children enrolling in
primary school have not benefited from ECDE
Kenya has not yet ratified the Optional Protocol to the Convention on
the Rights of the Child on the Sale of Children, Child Prostitution &
Child Pornography
Existing structures for participation of children (Children’s Assembly &
Youth Parliament) lack continuity in structures for identification of
children & in convening. This is partly due to lack of resources.
Progress made on 2nd state party report on UNCRC concluding
observations. Currently, awaiting for the combined 3rd, 4th & 5th

counties of former Nyanza province has contributed to increased
availability of disaggregated data. Three additional MICS surveys have
begun in counties with high levels of child deprivation. In addition,
planning has been completed & preparation commenced for a new
Demographic & Health Survey in 2013/14, which will provide county
level estimates of critical indicators of children’s rights.

Analytical products generated for use in advocacy to inform policy
development, national strategies & plans for improved access, quality,
equity, relevance, effectiveness, & institutional governance in Kenya in
relation to education. A range of official education frameworks &
documents, such as the Basic Education Bill, Technical, TVET Bill,
Sports Bill, & the national education strategic investment plan
supported.
The IIEP & UNICEF research programme assessed the usefulness of
school grants, illustrating that they have allowed for greater education
access by disadvantaged groups who are excluded from the school if
the grants are not available.
Currently, a study on out-of-school children (OOSC) in Kenya is
underway to examine the trend of their marginalized status between
2003 & 2008.
A study on the potential of low-cost boarding schools & mobile schools
in 16 districts of ASAL generated discussions on ways to facilitate
pastoralist children to access primary education without disrupting their
nomadic lifestyle.
