Stipend to Community Health workers

The Kenya Kwanza government promised to redesign the delivery of health services and roll out a program to pay a stipend to the 100,000 community health workers or volunteers in the country, professionalize them, and include them in primary-healthcare delivery toward UHC.

In February 2024, the government officially launched the community health promoters’ stipend and designated KES 3 billion for the monthly stipends to 107,000 CHPs. While the CHPs receive the stipend, it is inconsistent, especially with regard to the regularity of payments.
