Information on MMS available - no active implementation
A supply readiness assessment was carried out by Sight and Life in 2015 and formative research for MMS through a social franchising model.
An MMS task force has been established. However, MMS is yet to be included in national budgets and procurement plans. Current funding supports components like landscape analyses and MMS Taskforce meetings, with plans to leverage the Social Health Insurance Fund and the sub-national government’s experience in Iron and Folic Acid (IFA) procurement. Research, such as the National Micronutrient Survey and implementation research, will inform MMS quality standards. Delivery will build on Kenya’s robust supply chain systems, including the Kenya Medical Supplies Authority and the Kenya Health Information System. Challenges include insufficient funds for implementation research and a lack of current data on micronutrient status. Lessons learned include that stakeholder engagement, intra-ministerial collaboration, awareness creation, and experience sharing are essential for successful implementation research.
