Kenya and U.S. Sign $1.6B (KSh 208B) Health Cooperation Framework - December 2025

Kenya and the United States have signed a new health cooperation framework valued at $1.6 billion (KSh 208 billion) in Washington D.C. The funding is intended to bolster various Kenyan government health systems over the next five years. The United States Embassy in Kenya has publicly supported the five-year framework. However, the health agreement has also sparked significant controversy. One report stated that President William Ruto was preparing to sign a 25-year health cooperation agreement with the U.S., a different duration from what was stated elsewhere.
