Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

In December 2019, the Chinese government signed an agreement to contribute USD 1 million to the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) procurement and distribution efforts regarding medical equipment and medicines in Kenya via the South-South Cooperation Assistance Fund (SSCAF) through December 31, 2021. On June 30, 2022, the Chinese Embassy in Kenya and the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) held a ceremony to celebrate the completion of this "maternal, newborn, and children's health project". The project offered medical materials and training to 159 health facilities in 8 counties across Kenya, benefiting more than 3 million people, especially in the remote parts of the country. Similar projects were launched in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Niger, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Sudan, and Zimbabwe.
