KeNAAM

The Kenya NGOs Alliance Against Malaria (KeNAAM) brings together over 44 Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) working on Malaria and seeks to unite and enhance collaboration through networking in their efforts and programs aimed at preventing, controlling and reducing socio-economic impact burden as a result of malaria. In its endeavors, KeNAAM recognizes the strategic role played by government of Kenya through the Ministry of Health-Division of Malaria Control (MOH-DOMC) in fighting malaria as per the National Malaria Strategy (NMS). Further recognition is given to bilateral, multilateral, private sector and donor communities who aim to Roll Back Malaria in Kenya. Together KeNAAM and the said communities aim at creating and maintaining "effective partnership to have a malaria free Kenya" in line with Millennium Development Goal (MDG 6, 7 and 8).

In the last two years, KeNAAM has made remarkable achievement. This includes:

• Joint planning between members and the MoH leading to better-enhanced collaboration
• Improved communication and information sharing between members and other malaria stakeholders
• Increased malaria advocacy through diverse members forums and stakeholders meetings
• Collaborative resource mobilization through the Global Fund mechanism
