Official announcement by the U.S. Department of State

December 4, 2025 — The Governments of the United States and the Republic of Kenya today signed a five-year, $2.5 billion Health Cooperation Framework that outlines a comprehensive vision to save lives, strengthen Kenya’s health system, and make America safer, stronger, and more prosperous. Kenya is the first African country to successfully negotiate a new health partnership with the United States.

Under the Framework, the United States plans to provide up to $1.6 billion over the next five years to support priority health programs in Kenya including HIV/AIDS, TB, malaria, maternal and child health, polio eradication, disease surveillance, and infectious disease outbreak response and preparedness. Over the five-year period, the Government of Kenya pledges to increase domestic health expenditures by $850 million to gradually assume greater financial responsibility as U.S. support decreases over the course of the framework.
