Regular supervision is essential for maintaining quality standards, supporting healthcare workers, identifying service gaps, and ensuring adolescents receive safe, responsive #sexual and #reproductive health services.
As part of efforts to strengthen adolescent-friendly health services, Access to Medicines Platform (AtMP) played a key role in supporting the development of a supportive supervision tool that has since been adopted by Mandera and Isiolo Counties. The tool is helping county health teams standardize supervision, identify service delivery gaps, and strengthen accountability for adolescent and youth SRH services.
Strengthening routine monitoring and supportive supervision must be a priority if accreditation is to translate into real improvements in service delivery.

Through the SHARP Project, we witnessed how evidence-based advocacy and sustained engagement can contribute to tangible health system improvements, from strengthening accountability mechanisms to influencing investments that improve access to maternal and adolescent health services.
Real change happens when communities have a voice and decision-makers respond.

AtMP @MeTAKenya2018 is currently convening an Outcome Harvesting workshop to review the results and outcomes from the implementation of the @ProjectSHARP . We are happy to have youth champions from the three focus counties—Mandera, Isiolo, and Marsabit—actively participating in the discussions and sharing firsthand lessons from the ground. Their experiences are providing valuable insights on what has worked, the challenges faced, and how community-led approaches are strengthening adolescent health and rights protection

Across many contexts, including here in Kenya, we have strong constitutional and policy frameworks meant to protect women, children, and survivors of violence. Yet too often, survivors still struggle to access meaningful justice.
Access to justice requires more than legislation. It requires:
✅Awareness: communities must know their rights and how to claim them.
✅Institutional responsiveness: police, health systems, and courts must act promptly and professionally.
✅Survivor-centered processes: systems must prioritize dignity, safety, confidentiality, and informed choice.
✅Accountability mechanisms: There must be consequences when institutions fail to uphold the law.
It’s time to move from policy promises to lived realities.

Adolescent girls in ASAL counties, girls with disabilities, and those in informal settlements face unique barriers. Inclusion is not charity — it is justice. No one should be left behind.

One word to describe Day 2 of the NEAPACOH meeting — MOMENTUM! 💥
Country delegations rolled up their sleeves to shape bold commitments for resilient, self-reliant health systems and UHC 2026.
Proud to see our CEO and SHARP project coordinator @dorojuma1 representing us in the Kenyan delegation led by Ntwiga Patrick Munene, alongside civil society partners, keeping community voices at the heart of the discussion. Ready for day 3!

Study findings from our endline #SRH commodities study on availability, affordability, and stockouts reveal a significant deterioration in access to HIV treatment, maternal medicines, contraceptives and STI treatments across Mandera, Isiolo and Marsabit counties between 2022 and 2025.
The results point to a serious post-United States Agency for International Development transition crisis in Kenya. Without strong domestic financing and a clear contingency plan, hard-won gains in HIV and #maternal #health are at risk.

Cultural elders & religious leaders are our strongest allies in changing social/gender norms and religious misconceptions perpetuating FGM. #ZeroTolerance demands action: more funding for community programs targeting men & women. We need zero excuses to #EndFGM by 2030

ONGOING PANEL DISCUSSION:
FGM is not a “cultural issue” alone but a public health and protection emergency. Health leaders in Isiolo are exploring how to tackle medicalized FGM and fully integrate prevention into #maternal and #adolescent #health services.

Today, SHARP team joins Isiolo County joins and the global community to reaffirm our zero tolerance to Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), a harmful practice that violates the rights, health and dignity of girls and women.
Together with county leadership, national government representatives, civil society, health actors and adolescent girls, our collective action remains to:
✔️ Protect girls
✔️ Challenge harmful social norms
✔️ Promote survivor-centred, rights-based responses
✔️ Advance community-led solutions

On the sidelines of a panel discussion in commemoration of the Zero Tolerance to FGM, the Inter-religious Council members and Council of Elders unequivocally condemned FGM noting the lack of any scripture in the bible or Quran writings to support this retrogressive act. They emphasized the need for communities to abandon harmful cultural practices that actually go against scripture and the dignity and sanctity of all human life. This declaration is a powerful testimony of the value of bringing religious leaders on board through strengthened Multistakeholder and multisectoral engagement - (a key implementation strategy for the SHARP project) to protect the rights of adolescents, women and girls against a backdrop of a 66% FGM prevalence in Isiolo county.

Female genital mutilation (FGM) can never be "safe".
Health care providers performing FGM are violating the fundamental medical ethics principle to “do no harm”.

Through the SHARP Project, Access to Medicines Platform is advancing adolescents’ sexual and reproductive health and rights in Mandera, Marsabit, and Isiolo counties.
In 2025, we worked alongside policy makers, youth-led organizations and healthcare providers to strengthen access to accurate information, respectful and confidential services and adolescent-responsive health systems. In 2026, we are building on this foundation by centering youth leadership and strengthening systems that respond to adolescents’ lived realities.
PACE-IN retweeted
A critical focus of the SHARP Project is advancing the health and well-being of adolescents in Mandera, Marsabit, and Isiolo counties.
In 2025, @MeTAKenya2018 played an instrumental role in building the capacity of youth-led organizations including @NOFMA2 , @Mybody_Ke , @TrustHope137641 , @Macsa2025 among others to design and implement impactful interventions in their counties of focus—strengthening locally driven, sustainable solutions for adolescents and young people.
As we move into 2026, we remain committed to supporting youth leadership, community-anchored action and adolescent-responsive health systems. @Sulekhaharun
