Over the past two days, practitioners from Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and Finland came together for the Outcome Harvesting Hybrid Workshop, held on 20–21 August 2026 at Ibis Styles Nairobi Westlands.

The workshop provided a practical space to explore how Outcome Harvesting can help organisations identify, verify and analyse changes in behaviours, relationships, policies and practices resulting from their interventions, including outcomes that may not have been anticipated.

Through practical exercises, peer learning and experience sharing, participants strengthened their understanding of Outcome Harvesting. They explored how to better document, analyse, and communicate outcomes to improve programme learning and adaptive management.

The workshop was co-hosted by the SDGs Kenya Forum, UNA Finland, UNA Uganda, and UNA Tanzania, bringing together regional perspectives and experiences in monitoring, evaluation, and learning for sustainable development.

Today, we conducted the external evaluation of our two-year project on the integration of mental health into the primary health care system in Makadara Sub-County, Nairobi County.

The evaluation brought together civil society organisations, service users with lived experience of mental health conditions, and caregivers to assess the project's outcomes, document lessons learned, and identify what is needed to sustain the gains made beyond the project's lifecycle.

Beyond measuring results, this process was an opportunity to centre the voices of those closest to the intervention, capturing their perspectives on how mental health services can be strengthened within primary health care systems.

As the project draws to a close, these findings will inform future programming, strengthen accountability, and guide continued investment in community-based mental health care.

Heraf Kenya was pleased to participate in the 𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗢𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀’ 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝘂𝗺 workshop convened by 𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗰 𝗡𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘀 𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗰 𝗥𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 𝗞𝗲𝗻𝘆𝗮(𝗕𝗡𝗕𝗥) in Nairobi.

The workshop brought together Public Benefit Organizations from across the country to advance the establishment of a national federation envisioned under the Public Benefit Organizations (PBO) Act, 2013. This important process will strengthen self-regulation, promote accountability and ethical practice, and foster greater collaboration across the sector.

As an organization committed to advancing mental health and health rights, we recognize that stronger, more coordinated civil society organizations are better positioned to influence policy, improve service delivery, and create lasting impact for the communities they serve.

Heraf Kenya had the privilege of joining Tinada Youth Action Africa, Needs Basic Rights Kenya, and for Human Rights in a coalition meeting to establish the Alliance for Mental Health Learning and Innovation (AMHeLI).

Together, we:
✅ Explored practical strategies to ensure the coalition's long-term sustainability.
✅ Agreed on meaningful stakeholder engagement and shared responsibility.
✅ Developed our collective vision, mission, and core values to guide the alliance.
✅ Finalized our Terms of Agreement, placing policy advocacy, capacity strengthening, research, and learning at the heart of our collaboration.

This marks an exciting milestone and the beginning of a united coalition committed to advancing mental health advocacy, learning, and innovation across Kenya.

Together, we are strengthening partnerships, amplifying the voices of people with lived experience, and working to ensure mental health remains a national priority.

Members of the Mental Health Financing Advocacy Coalition came together to review progress, reflect on key achievements, strengthen collaboration, and identify priority actions for advancing sustainable financing for mental health in Kenya. By working collectively, we continue to champion evidence-informed advocacy that places mental health at the center of health financing and policy decisions.

We are building momentum towards equitable, accessible, and adequately financed mental health services for all.

Every story behind improved access to mental health services matters.
As the 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 approaches its conclusion in Makadara Sub-County, Heraf Kenya hosted a Project Learning and Feedback Documentation Forum to capture the voices of those who have shaped and experienced the project's journey.

Healthcare workers, Community Health Promoters, persons with lived experience, caregivers, disability assessment beneficiaries, county health officials, facility leaders, and community representatives shared powerful firsthand reflections on the project's impact, lessons learned, and opportunities for strengthening community-based mental health services. Through recorded interviews and testimonials, their experiences will help preserve the project's legacy and amplify the voices behind its achievements.

These stories will contribute to project learning, accountability, and evidence generation, ensuring that lived experiences continue to inform future mental health programming and advocacy for equitable, people-centred healthcare.

Meaningful public participation goes beyond submitting memoranda,it requires continuous dialogue, accountability, and collaboration.

Heraf Kenya convened a Feedback and Dialogue Forum on Citizens' Budget Proposals for Mental Health Financing, bringing together Nairobi County budget decision-makers, County Assembly representatives, civil society organizations, and persons with lived experience to reflect on the county budgeting process and strengthen future mental health advocacy.

The forum created an opportunity to discuss how citizen proposals are reviewed and prioritized, identify gaps in previous budget submissions, and explore practical strategies for increasing investment in accessible, quality mental health services.

By strengthening engagement between citizens and decision-makers, we move closer to a health system where mental health is adequately prioritized in planning, budgeting, and service delivery.
