FCDC SECTOR FORUMS

Health

The Sector Forum for Health is an FCDC instrument established to enhance cooperation, coordination and information between counties, partners and communities in the provision of healthcare in the FCDC region.

The Sector Forum was established in March 2018 to act as an engine to drive regional collaboration, lessons learnt sharing and policy coordination around key health priorities in the region. It is composed of the County Executive Committee members of Health from the 10 FCDC member counties.

SFPC Objectives

Membership and collaboration

Health CECs of the FCDC member Counties form the Forum’s General Assembly (GA) and meet regularly to deliberate on issues and topics raised by the Counties, the Government of Kenya and development partners. The GA is the overall decision making organ. It appoints the Board, decides on the establishment of nonpermanent working groups and decides on what issues and businesses their Secretariat should work on.

The Secretariat is responsible for the day to day running of the Forum, implements requests and decisions taken by the GA, represents the members in meetings, organizes meetings and mobilizes resources.
