Health and nutrition as a sector is central to KDO’s mission of promoting sustainable nutrition and basic primary health care services. The organization works with communities, line ministries of national and regional governments as well as other key actors running similar projects in Kenya and Somalia.
Over the past 15 years, KDO has adopted an integrated programming that seeks to improve access to basic primary health care services (such as maternal, new born and child health, sexual and reproductive health), while at the same time providing coordinated life-saving nutrition interventions to vulnerable populations specifically targeting infant and young children as well as pregnant and lactating mothers.
