In Kenya, Palladium manages the USAID-funded Tupime Kaunti project (TK). TK works with key stakeholders to support ongoing activities by the national and county governments and other development partners to strengthen outcome measurements, learning and accountability (MLA) systems in order to provide quality data and synthesized information for planning, implementation, policy development and decision making. This activity will focus its support in the following HIV, malaria and MNCH focal counties of Homabay, Migori, Kisii, Kakamega, Busia, Vihiga, Bungoma, and Kisumu.

The Palladium led TK team includes Plan International and the Kenyan School of Government. Together we bring a deep knowledge of the country context--in particular, experience working on strengthening HIS in devolved counties. We have a collective track record in governance, health M&E and data systems, ICT and analytics, data demand and use, and capacity building strategies at all levels of the health system.

Team partners are currently working in 7 of the 8 focus counties which favors a rapid start-up. Through our existing projects, the partners have established collaborative working

relationships with local nongovernmental, community-based, and faith-based organizations (NGO/CBO/FBO) and the County Health Management Teams (CHMTs) that will facilitate work planning and the achievement of project results.
