Kenya, like many other countries in sub-Saharan Africa, is not presently on track to meet the health-related Millennium Development Goals by the 2015 target. Since 2007 Kenya has initiated several processes to strengthen its health system and coordinate its work with donors and other development partners to avoid additional health-related reversals. To improve its information gathering and to better track its progress in meeting the health-related Millennium Development Goals, Kenya has developed a Health Management Information System (HMIS) and is currently working with international partners to improve its capacity to provide timely and relevant data regarding the country’s health situation to policymakers and other stakeholders.

One of these international partners is AMREF Flying doctors. AMREF enables communities to take control of their own health development and to help them demand the assistance and services to which they are entitled. AMREF is bringing good quality and affordable health care closer to those who need it most - improving access to health treatment and preventing poor health through community education.

FLL is currently training AMREF to use video as a tool for monitoring and evaluating purposes. Film is a very powerful way to do this. Results will be shown here, once ready.
