Abstract: This study delves into the quality of health outcomes within Kenya's County Governments, underpinned by theoretical frameworks emphasizing citizens as vital stakeholders in budget formulation and execution. The study encompasses patients within County and County-affiliated personnel, adopting a correlational research design. A convenience sampling technique facilitated patient identification from hospitals in targeted County governments.

Background: Closing the tuberculosis diagnostic gap and scaling-up tuberculosis preventive treatment (TPT) are two major global priorities to end the tuberculosis epidemic. To help support these efforts, we modeled the impact and return-on-investment (ROI) of a comprehensive intervention to improve tuberculosis screening and prevention in Brazil, Georgia, Kenya, and South Africa—four distinct epidemiological settings.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to assess the effect of household participation in climate smart nutrition-sensitive agriculture (NSA) interventions on maternal and young child nutrition outcomes in Makueni, Garissa and Tana River counties.
