Contents of the Support 
Based on the above, the cooperation mainly carried out in Kenya is bilateral, and many 
donor agencies have provided assistance for infectious diseases control, especially for 
malaria and HIV/AIDS.    Duplication of assistance from donors has been avoided due 
to a system of information exchanges carried out through JICC.  DFID and other 
Northern European agencies that have initiated SWAps in other African countries have 
restricted their technical assistance to strengthening regional decentralization and other 
policy measures. 
Kenya is one of the four high priority countries identified by USAID to receive more 
resources for HIV/AIDS programming.  USAID focuses on the prevention of HIV 
infection, policy and advocacy, community-based care and support, integration of 
AIDS with family planning and child health programs, blood safety, (operations 
research,) and multi-sectoral activities.  In addition, President Bush’s Emergency 
Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFER) is committed to funding of US$15 billion over 5 years 
(2003-2008) for 15 focus countries, including Kenya.     
Japan also has been collaborating with the USA for the development of the health 
sector in Kenya since 1997.    As a part of the USAID-Japan Partnership, six projects 
for HIV/AIDS control, such as strengthening the VCT, and population / health 
censuses have been implemented, and also exchange staff were dispatched to the JICA 
Kenya Office.   
The main activities of donors are shown in Table 5.6.
