Public Health is lived every day in households, villages, marketplaces, neighbourhoods where people raise families, earn their livelihoods and confront the realities that shape their being.

Kenya’s Jamii Imara Mashinani initiative recognises this truth by bringing the government closer to communities and ensuring that citizens are not distant observers of development but active participants in guiding it. While the platform spans social, civic and economic priorities, its most tangible impact is emerging in public health where community voices and government action meet.
