Description
Naomi Njeri, Joash Moitui, Blessing Mberu, and Sheillah Simiyu map gaps in Kenya's hand hygiene policy in a 2026 paper. Hand washing blocks infectious disease, but lasting practice needs products, rules, money, and coordination in place. The team analyzed the national policy scene through a standard policy triangle lens.
They interviewed eleven senior stakeholders and reviewed twenty policy documents. Kenya has no standalone hand hygiene policy. Instead, provisions sit scattered across documents for schools, health facilities, and rural areas. National rules are made centrally and passed to counties to carry out. Weak coordination between sectors stood out as a barrier. The authors name the fixes that could turn scattered provisions into a working system.
