Primary Health Care Performance Management (PHC-PM) Project

Kenya - Nakuru & Trans Nzoia Counties

Gates Foundation

The Challenge

County health systems in Kenya face gaps in data use, accountability and performance management, limiting the effectiveness of primary health care services. Sustainable progress requires more than systems and tools; it calls for empowered county teams that can continuously learn, adapt and improve.

Our Approach

Participatory Action Research (PAR): County teams lead the process of planning, reflection and action.
Baseline Assessment: A comprehensive review helped identify key performance gaps.
Co-created Indicators: Locally relevant metrics now guide county-level decision-making.
Ongoing Support: Hecta provides technical assistance and facilitates peer learning platforms for cross-county knowledge exchange.

Progress & Impact

The project is embedding a performance-driven culture within county health systems, enabling data-informed decisions, improving service delivery and strengthening outcomes for communities. In the broader context, the PHC-PM Project supports Kenya's Universal Health Coverage (UHC) reforms and contributes to Sustainable Development Goal 3: Good Health and Well-being.
