    client: UNICEF sector: Livelihoods Social Protection year: 2017

    In Kenya, social protection plays a key role in realising Kenya’s Vision 2030 which aims to provide a high quality of life for all its citizens by the year 2030 and a just and cohesive society with social equity.

    Kimetrica was contracted by UNICEF in 2016 to:

    1. Map social protection programmes and coordination structures, both formal and informal, at national, county and sub-county levels.
    2. Identify capacity gaps and make recommendations to enhance coordination at the county level and between national and county governments.
    3. Develop a Road Map for the implementation of integrated models of social protection at county level.

    The recommendations of the study informed the revision of Kenya’s social protection policy and investment strategy.

    The Social Mobilisation Network (SM Net)
    client: UNICEF sector: Food security Health year: 2016

    The Social Mobilisation Network (SM Net) was established in 2013 by UNICEF to raise awareness of polio and increase coverage of polio vaccination in difficult to reach locations in Somalia. In 2016, Kimetrica was contracted to conduct an evaluation of the outcomes and impacts of SM Net on activities, including coverage of polio immunization activities, community level support for immunization, and local perceptions of trust in health service delivery. The evaluation was also to explore SM Net’s ability to deliver on other child survival and development interventions. Using a mixed-methods approach, the Kimetrica team collected primary data in collaboration with their partner Forcier Consulting, through key informant interviews and focus group discussions in 14 districts across Puntland, Somaliland and South Central.
