CONCLUSION

Through a country – led process and with full engagement and participation of all stakeholders:

1. We have reviewed our previous strategic plan.
2. Taken into account all the emerging new evidence on the epidemic.
3. Valued the need for buy-in from all stakeholders.
4. Recognized that HIV interventions should be evidence-informed, cost effective, sustainable and scalable.
5. Developed a 4 year KNASP III capable of delivering on Universal Access to HIV services for Kenya.

• The new Plan is:

1. Costed.
2. Has a-2-year National Plan of Operations.
3. Has a number of supporting documents.
4. Technically sound and pragmatic from peer review reports.

All of us should commit ourselves in a mutually accountable manner to implement the plan pragmatically to achieve the planned results.
