This document summarizes civil society engagement in Kenya's IHP+ processes. It notes that Kenya has one policy direction, one national strategic plan, and one coordinating body for health through the Ministry of Health. It discusses CSO representation in the Health Sector Coordinating Committee and their role in providing input but limited decision-making power. It identifies challenges including the government-driven nature of IHP+, lack of defined CSO engagement, and political issues that have affected coordination. Recommendations include strengthening CSO guidelines, involvement, and adopting a human rights approach to ensure equitable resources.
