The InfoAFYA Advantage:
How InfoAFYA Empowers Stakeholders Across the Health Spectrum
A coordinated strategic approach that brings together agencies and individuals is the strongest pillar in achieving impactful health outcomes that work for every Kenyan household. These agencies, including donors, governments, implementing partners, health coordinating organizations, and ultimately, individuals and households, are at the helm of realizing universal health coverage.
InfoAFYA stands at the center of these collaborative efforts, offering innovative communication strategies and cutting-edge technology to drive substantial health improvements. Through our comprehensive mission and targeted milestones, we are making a significant difference for each of our partners.
InfoAFYA for Health Donors: Maximizing Impact and Demonstrating Value
Donors play a pivotal role in funding health initiatives but often face challenges in ensuring that their contributions yield measurable and transparent results. InfoAFYA addresses these concerns by offering a cost-effective way to link donor investments to tangible health outcomes on the ground. Donors are often plagued by uncertainty regarding the transparency and effectiveness of their contributions—they believe that every dollar should make a tangible difference in improving health outcomes. InfoAFYA rises to this challenge with a clear plan to engage donors, allowing them to understand our mission and operational methods. By investing in InfoAFYA’s initiatives, donors can contribute to specific health programs with clearly defined, measurable goals.
“I am appreciative of the potential impact it can have on vulnerable populations in supporting the timely delivery of relevant information to households through SMS and other platforms.”
-Lilyana Dayo, the Acting County Director of Public Health and CMCC in Kisumu
Through detailed reports and evidence-based outcomes, donors can monitor the progress of their investments, confidently demonstrating the effectiveness of their funding. This not only helps achieve health objectives quickly and transparently but also reinforces donors’ commitment to making a real difference. As a result, donors can avoid the risk of their funds being used ineffectively and feel proud of the tangible impact their contributions make.
InfoAFYA for Governments and Ministries of Health: Achieving National Health Goals Efficiently
Governments, ministries of health, and national health programs are tasked with the enormous responsibility of reducing the disease burden, developing and overseeing national health plans, and aligning with donor and partner priorities. InfoAFYA emerges as a reliable partner in this endeavor, supporting these entities in achieving their national health goals through efficient and sustainable interventions.
By implementing InfoAFYA’s cost-efficient Social Behavior Change (SBC) programs, governments and health ministries can meet their health objectives more effectively. InfoAFYA also provides the necessary tools to monitor and evaluate the progress and impact of these interventions, ensuring alignment with national goals and donor priorities.
“I attended the Workshop on Social and Behaviour Change in malaria prevention, and I was impressed by how effective this approach is in reaching out to the public.”
-Dr. Grace Wasike, Head of Health Information, Education, and Communication, Ministry of Health, Kenya
This collaborative approach allows governments to avoid the pitfalls of ineffective resource use and achieve their health goals sustainably. With InfoAFYA, they can run cost-effective SBC programs, align national plans with donor and partner priorities, and ensure cohesive and impactful health interventions.
InfoAFYA for Implementing Partners: Demonstrating Impact and Securing Funding
Implementing partners are often on the front lines of health initiatives but struggle with funding tied to specific scopes of work and outcomes. They need to generate experience and evidence to influence funding, design policies, and plans, and show meaningful impact. InfoAFYA helps these partners meet their needs by providing the necessary tools and insights.
“We are proud to collaborate with InfoAFYA in providing quality health information to sickle cell communities. Through this partnership, we have been able to reach out to people living with sickle cell disease, and educate them about the risks and prevention of malaria.”
-Africa Sickle Cell Organization
Through this partnership, implementing partners can confidently demonstrate the effectiveness of their programs, influence the design of health policies, and secure the necessary funding to continue their vital work. InfoAFYA helps them avoid the risk of failing to secure funding and influence policies, ensuring that their efforts yield meaningful and measurable results.
InfoAFYA for Health Coordinating Bodies: Enhancing Coordination and Setting Goals
Coordinating bodies are essential in the health ecosystem as they enable better coordination among health actors, set high-level goals, and provide effective processes. However, they need reliable, evidence-based tools to inform their efforts and achieve their objectives. InfoAFYA steps in as an invaluable resource, providing the tools and data necessary for effective coordination.
By integrating InfoAFYA's evidence-based tools into their coordination processes, coordinating bodies can achieve better coordination among health actors, set and achieve high-level goals effectively, and enhance their technical focus on SBC. This data-driven approach allows them to avoid the inefficiencies and ineffectiveness often associated with poor coordination and goal setting.
