Foreword The Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation recognises and appreciates the
development of this Communication Strategy which supports its responsibility of improving the health of the citizens by narrowing the gap between service
provision and demand for services. This is with the ultimate goal of reducing ill-health by increasing the population始s knowledge of preventable health
measures and bringing quality services closer and more accessible to the beneficiaries. The Ministryfurther recognize that community based communication focusing on behaviour change, disease prevention and access to safe water and
basic care is the hub of level one health care provision. This Communication Strategy aims at scaling up provision and uptake of Community Health Services
thus strengthening the social pillar for Kenya始s Vision 2030. It also aims at promoting preventive health care as opposed to curative interventions by promoting healthy individual lifestyles. In providing a framework for action, the
Communication Strategy connects and mobilizes people around the common cause of promotion of health and prevention of diseases at community and individual levels. It aims at bringing about synergy and collaboration between individuals,
communities,
social
networks,
and
policy
makers
through
participatory activities and dialogue in order to develop an integrated and
consolidated approach to communication in Community Health Services. The Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation is confident that this Communication Strategy will enhance service provision at the community level.All partners in the
health sector and at all levels working with communities are encouraged to use this Communication Strategy as a tool for guiding communication activities in relation to provision of Community Health Services.

Preface The Constitution of Kenya states that every person has the right to the highest attainable standard of health, which includes the right to health care services for all. Through Vision 2030, the Government of Kenya has set out to improve the
overall livelihoods of Kenyans by providing an efficient and high quality health care
system Vision 2030 aims at shifting the bias of the National Health Bill from curative to preventive care. In order to achieve this, the Ministry of Public Health
and Sanitation is implementing the Kenya Essential Package for Health (KEPH) which recognizes the community as a critical level of health service delivery.
The Community Health Strategy approach was introduced to actualizeKEPH, with
an overall goal of enhancing community access to health care in order to improve
productivity and thus reduce poverty, hunger, child and maternal deaths, as well as improve education performance across all the development goals set out under the Vision 2030. The goal of the Community Health Strategy approach is to
improve the health status of Kenyan communities through the initiation and implementation of life-cycle focused health actions at level one. The CCommunity based communication is thus thehub of level one health care provision.
Community level activities focus on effective communication aimed at behaviour change, disease prevention, and access to basic care, safe water and sanitation.
The communication at level one is meant to facilitate behaviour change of individuals and family/householdsthrough advocacy and social mobilization. It is envisaged that the implementation of thisCommunication Strategy will contribute towards the achievement of the health sectors goals and the Kenya始s Vision 2030;
while also fulfilling the Government始s responsibility to her citizens as spelt out in
the constitution. It is my hope that this communication strategy will serve as a guide to all players
in the health sector. stages of the life cycle. In effect, this shall enhance the attainment of the country始s

Increasing uptake of health services by all cohorts facilitated by transfer of knowledge and skills at household and community level.
To achieve the above stated goal, five broad strategies will be employed: a) Strategy One: Advocacy to Policy Makers, Program Planners and Media b) Strategy Two: Capacity Strengthening in Management for Health Communication c) Strategy Three: Behaviour Change Communication d) Strategy Four: Mobilization and Coordination of Communication Partners and Stakeholders e) Strategy Five: CHS Knowledge Management and Documentation
The strategy will be delivered in a phased approach where the policy makers, decision makers and program planners will be sensitised to this approach first so that the CHS communication programming can reflect the recommended rights based program design. Strengthening the ACSM structures, capacity and systems at all levels will ensure successful delivery of effective CHS communications. The ACSM coordination structures will be anchored within the existing CHS and National Health System to ensure consistency, better sector coordination and linkages from the National to the Sub-County and Community level.

Chapter 1 Introduction 1.1. Overview of Community Health Services In order to scale up the implementation of health services, MOPHS adopted the Kenya Essential Package for Health (KEPH) which recognized the community as a critical level of health service delivery. Communities are at the heart of the Ministry of Health’s Second National Health Sector Strategic Plan (NHSSP II) (Ministry of Health, 2005). The Community Health Strategy (CHS) was initiated in 2006 to fast track the establishment of Community Units (CUs) so as to bring services closer to the community, by empowering communities with health information and essential services (Ministry of Health, March 2007). The KEPH is designed as an integrated collection of cost-effective interventions that addresses common diseases, injuries and risk factors, including diagnostics and health services, to satisfy the demand for prevention and treatment of these conditions (Ministry of Health, 2006).
1.1.1.
Goal and Objectives of Community Health Strategy
According to the Community Strategy Implementation Guidelines for Managers (2007), the goal of the CHS is to improve the health status of Kenyan communities through the initiation and implementation of life-cycle focused health actions at level one by: Providing level one services for all cohorts and socioeconomic groups, including the “differently-abled”, taking into account their needs and priorities. Building the capacity of the Community Health Extension Workers (CHEWs) and Community Owned Resource Persons (CORPs) to provide services at level one.

to 2 weeks of age), early childhood (2 weeks to 5 years), late childhood (6 to 12 years), youth and adolescent (13 to 24 years), adulthood (25 to 59 years), elderly (60 years and above) (Ministry of Health, March 2007). The Kenya Health Sector Strategic Plan 2012-2017 (MoPHS, 2012) has revised the cohorts from 6 to 5. Therefore the revised specific KEPHs cohorts whom this strategy focuses on are: 1. Pregnancy and the newborn (up to 28 days): The health services specific to this age-cohort across all the Policy Objectives 2. Childhood (29 days – 59 months): The health services specific to the early childhood period 3. Children and Youth (5 – 19 years): The time of life between childhood and maturity 4. Adulthood (20 – 59 years): The economically productive period of life 5. Elderly (60 years and above): The post – economically productive period of life This Communication Strategy is designed to address the communication needs of the different cohorts as well as policy and decision makers at all levels.
2. KEPH Service Package The conditions identified and included as KEPH level one services are those in which level one services can make the most significant contribution to the improvement of health and well-being of Kenyans. The table below gives a summary of the services offered at level one under the CHS approach based on the Strategic Plan 2012 – 2017. The message themes are designed to reflect key areas of intervention as well as the critical indicators

3. Rights Based Approach KEPHs level one health communication is positioned as rights-based approach as enshrined in the new constitution. This strategy considers that all individuals have a right to relevant health information and services. The individual and communities include special groups like children, people with disabilities, youth, minority and marginalised groups. The communities have a right to receive healthcare services and information and the duty bearers have an obligation to fulfil these rights. The character of communication will be that of empowerment KEPH level one health communication will be positioned as rights based approach as enshrined in the constitution.

understanding of the CHS approach among all stakeholders and partners including the Government of Kenya (GOK). The strategy also: a) Addresses communication gaps in order to encourage effective behaviour change by all target audiences. b) Facilitates the roll out of the CHS in the entire national and subnational structures. c) Provides a clear and informed road map for the ACSM planning, implementation
and
monitoring of coherent and coordinated
programming
that will support and drive CHS and the services it offers.
The Communication Strategy will provide a clear and informed roadmap for the ACSM planning, implementation and monitoring of coherent, coordinated programming that will support and drive the CHS approach and the services it offers.
The Communication Strategy is intended for use by the DCHS, Government departments and divisions, partners and stakeholders in implementing ACSM at the National, County, Sub-County and Community levels.
1.2.2. Perspectives and Methods of Developing the CHS Communication Strategy 1. Process of CHS Communication Strategy Development The process of developing the Strategy was both consultative and participatory. Stakeholders at different levels, from the community to policy makers, were engaged in the process.

challenges to current communication strategies (including strengths and weaknesses, existing opportunities and threats and resources). The findings of the situation analysis were presented to various stakeholders at a retreat held in June 2012.
The stakeholders at this retreat included
representatives from NGOs, District Heath Management Teams (DHMTs), Provincial Health Management Teams (PHMTs), development partners and MOPHS departments and divisions. Findings from the situation analysis were used by the stakeholders to identify key issues for the CHS Communication Strategy, audience segments, strategies and activities. 2. Alignment to Policies This Communication Strategy is designed to respond to the existing policy framework whose goal is the ‘attainment of the highest possible health standards in a manner responsive to the population needs’. The policy aims to achieve this goal through supporting provision of equitable, affordable and quality health and related services at the highest attainable standards to all Kenyans. The communication interventions are designed to focus on attaining two critical obligations of the health sector: Rights based approach to health, and ensuring health contribution to the country’s development. The policy documents that informed the development of this Communication Strategy included the Constitution of Kenya (Republic of Kenya, 2010), the Vision 2030 (Government of the Republic Kenya, 2007), the Kenya National Health Policy 2012 -2030, the Kenya Health Sector Strategic Plan 2012 to 2017 (MoPHS, December 2008) and Community Health Strategy among others. This Communication Strategy has aligned the messaging and interventions to the main articles in the Constitution of Kenya -2010 that highlight the rights based approach to health. Of particular mention are the rights to special groups in article 53 -57 who include children, people with disability, youth, minority and the marginalised; and article 174 which prescribes the aspects of devolution. In the devolved management of ACSM, this Strategy 11
AFYA YETU, JUKUMU LETU
envisions a National ACSM coordinating mechanism which will be tasked with providing ACSM technical assistance, capacity strengthening for counties as well as CHS advocacy. The County ACSM coordination mechanism will be tasked with ACSM implementation and contextualization of National level communications and supporting the Sub-County level communications. The Sub-County and Community levels are the critical levels of health service delivery where health promotion and education happens at the household and community levels. 3.

Findings from the
situation analysis indicated that the understanding and implementation of the CHS approach across board was not uniform. It was observed that those directly involved with the implementation of the CHS approach at National, Provincial and District level had a better understanding of its functions, structure, guidelines, activities and policy framework compared to health providers not directly involved with CHS..

aware of its existence. The understanding and support of the CHS was noted to be excellent in areas where there was direct involvement of the heads of provinces and Districts. 2. Understanding of CHS approach by health care workers: It was noted that health care workers at level three, four and five had a challenge in articulating the CHS, functions, and activities including some of the policy issues. The roles of the DCHS in implementing CHS and its functions were not clear to most these health workers.

1.3.2. Coordination and Existing Communication Strategies 1. Coordination of partners and stakeholders in implementation of communications for CHS: The Ministries of Health departments and divisions were identified as taking a leading role in the implementation of communication activities. Different focal persons at National, Provincial and District levels were tasked with the implementation of CHS activities including communication.
Partners on the other hand provided the
Ministries of Health with technical support in the implementation of CHS. It was〠however〠noted that there was limited coordination and collaboration in the various communication interventions being implemented at level one. 2. Existing Communication Strategies: Although the CHS did not have a communication strategy, different partners and stakeholders were actively implementing different components of level one service. Some departments, divisions and partners have developed communication strategies targeting different audiences and health areas for different levels. All the strategies reviewed

1.3.3. Implementation of Communication Activities for Level One and Gaps Identified 1. Uniformity of implementation of communication activities by region: Some CHS activities including communication activities were being implemented at level one in all the five regions visited. These activities, however, varied from one region to another with more communication interventions targeting cohort 1, 2 and 3. 2. Implementation of disease prevention and control activities: While all regions reported extensive implementation of communications on HIV/AIDS, STI, TB and Malaria, none was reported for first aid and emergency preparedness, treatment of injuries and trauma. 3. Implementation of family health services: Family planning, immunization, community based referral and maternal and child care were the most 14

7.
Challenges in the pastoral and slum communities: In addition to
challenges in disseminating health information to pastoral and slum communities, two key issues kept emerging; these are poor faecal disposal facilities and lack of water. Specifically, construction of permanent human waste disposal structures among the pastoral and nomadic communities and space requirements in the slums were reported as big challenges. These two communities

Community participation: While community health days were being
reported in all regions, participation of all the community members was a challenge. 9.
Technical and human resource capacity within MOPHS to implement
communication activities for CHS: According to the various discussions, there was consensus on the inadequate technical capacity to plan, implement, monitor and evaluate communications.
It was reported that
communication experts were not being employed within the Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation.
While the Department of Health Promotion
(DHP) has health promotion experts, they have inadequate personnel to support the various communication needs of the Ministries. The Division of Community Health Services (DCHS) was identified as lacking capacity (both expertise and staffing) to implement ACSM interventions nationally. In some cases there was reported deployment of other cadres of health workers to head communication sections with basic or no communication training. 10. Working relationship between CHS focal persons and health promotion officers: It was observed that there is disjointed working relationship between the CHS focal persons and the health promotion officers at all levels with the latter being left out in the implementation of communication interventions. This was attributed to resource constraints in some cases and inadequate briefing and information sharing in others.

Develop a comprehensive multi-faceted communication framework to guide all CHS communication activities at all levels: There exists no effective coordination framework for communication activities.
17
AFYA YETU, JUKUMU LETU
Support CHWs through provision of standardized and simplified messages which are contextualized to their regions: In most regions CHWs depend on communication interventions from various partners with no direct package from GOK.
Capacity strengthening in communication for the National, County and Sub-county communication teams and CHWs: Prioritization of capacity strengthening in communications planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation is crucial to the success of communications for CHS.
Create an integrated CHS system which incorporates all health workers, within the ministries to ensure ownership by all.
There is need to have regular knowledge, attitude and practices assessments among the community to establish the actual situation before and after communication interventions: Currently there is inadequate comprehensive monitoring and evaluation plan for ACSM activities for CHS approach at all levels.
In addition, there is limited
documented evidence of effective strategies, channels or materials or best practices that can be replicated at level one.
There is need for an all-inclusive simple package of messages targeting all cohorts: There is need to establish standardised messages and approaches

1.5. SWOT Analysis Respondents for the situation analysis identified the following Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) that the ACSM strategy for CHS can take into account. This strategy has attempted to build on the strengths and opportunities identified in the SWOT analysis. It has further designed strategies to address some of the weaknesses and threats identified.

2.4. Five Strategies of CHS Communication Strategy Based on the situation analysis, socio-ecological model and application of the three broad approaches: Advocacy, Social Mobilization and Behaviour Change, this document contains five strategies that will be employed to achieve the goals of CHS: 1. Strategy One: Advocacy to Policy Makers, Program Planners and Media Advocacy targeting policy makers, program planners and media will be planned and executed for CHS to raise political and social commitment as well as resources for service delivery to influence support or action for level one services at National, County, Sub-county and Community levels. 2. Strategy Two: Capacity Strengthening in Management for Health Communication Capacity strengthening in health communication will be conducted for ACSM focal teams at National, County, Sub-County and Community level to manage the ACSM program (planning, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation) at the different levels. 22

Advocacy will be done at three focal points as outlined below:
1. Policy advocacy is aimed at promoting political and social commitment, mobilizing resources, and stimulating development of supportive CHS policies. It seeks to inform the relevant senior management, directors and all decision makers both within Government and among partners on the aims, strategies and activities of the level one strategy and how the CHS approach will improve service delivery and hence support in achievement of NHSSP II and NHSSP III which are in line with Kenya Vision 2030 and MDGs. 2. Program advocacy targets opinion leaders. It aims at promoting local action by explaining the role of the community and other influential people in the level one services strategy. It seeks to inform community leaders and other influential individuals about the aims, objectives, strategies and activities of the level one services strategy.

action and support
This will target interested organizations, individuals and health related sectors, along with NGOs, CBOs, professional associations and the private sector. Strengthening the ACSM structures, capacity and systems at all levels will ensure successful delivery of effective CHS communications. The ACSM coordination structures will be anchored within the existing CHS and National health system to ensure consistency, better sector coordination and linkages from the National to the Sub- County and Community level. There is need for partnership, collaboration and coordination to ensure success in the delivery of services. All partners and stakeholders need to board the CHS ‘vehicle’ to roll out communications at the community level. The coordination mechanism of ACSM activities for level one seeks to address the following critical issues that emerged from the situation analysis: a) Inadequate engagement of all partners and stakeholders,
55
AFYA YETU, JUKUMU LETU
b) Weak coordination framework of communications for level one services, c) Vertical and parallel programming of ACSM activities at level one, d) Inadequate communication guidelines, e) Communication interventions not being consistent, standardized and sustained.
6.2. National Level Coordination 6.2.1. Linkages with other Departments, Divisions and Partners The CHS fully addresses level one service delivery with complete structures and operationalized functions. The DCHS will be tasked with establishing a platform that will ensure smooth coordination of ACSM activities at all levels. Multi-Sectoral collaboration and coordination will take place at the ICC level. The National CHS ACSM TWG will be tasked with operationalizing the Communication Strategy and provide a platform for coordination of ACSM interventions for level one.
All the departments, divisions and partners
implementing communications at level one will be members of this TWG. The DHP will provide technical assistance at all levels in the operationalization of this Communication Strategy. This section defines roles and responsibilities of the ACSM structures at different levels.
6.2.2. Role of CHS ACSM TWG in the Implementation of the Communication Strategy The CHS ACSM TWG will be tasked with the following roles and responsibilities:
Coordinate the responsibilities, tasks and contributions of various ACSM partners and stakeholders
Set standards and guidelines for CHS ACSM
Provide assistance in harmonization of CHS ACSM messaging and IEC materials
Develop ACSM partnership plan to be adapted by Counties, to include roles and responsibilities 56
AFYA YETU, JUKUMU LETU
Develop a communication plan for CHS ACSM activities which include planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation and reflects rights based programming
Resource mobilization for ACSM
Determine and develop CHS ACSM national campaigns
Determine who should form part of the ACSM coordination mechanism at the various levels
Support implementation of the ACSM conventions, meetings and forums at different levels
6.2.3. Role of DCHS ACSM Unit in the Implementation of the Communication Strategy Capacity building for the DCHS ACSM unit will be paramount to ensure that the communication activities are coordinated and managed effectively and continuously. The ACSM unit capacity and resources will be reviewed to help determine what skills and resources will be needed and how to obtain this. Due to the multiple and multi-level health issues addressed through the CHS, it is important to nurture partnerships to enhance synergy in implementation of ACSM activities and programs. Management of ACSM activities at the County, Sub-County and Community level will be an important function of this unit. A review of capacity, skills and resources at these levels will be important in informing ACSM capacity strengthening programs. To be able to support the roll out of this strategy, the ACSM unit will be tasked with the
