About the NCD Repository Kenya
A centralised knowledge hub for non-communicable disease research, policies, guidelines, and resources in Kenya.
Our Purpose
The repository bridges the knowledge and care gap by providing timely, relevant, and evidence-based information to all stakeholders in the NCD ecosystem. It brings scattered resources from multiple organisations into a single, authoritative source — ensuring that research findings, policy documents, and practical resources reach the people who need them most.
What We Do
Centralise NCD knowledge resources into one accessible platform
Make research findings available to policymakers and practitioners
Support evidence-based policy and programme development
Foster collaboration and knowledge sharing across the NCD community
Support capacity building and health literacy
What You'll Find
The repository holds resources across the following categories — all relevant to non-communicable diseases in Kenya:
Governance & Partners
🏥 Ministry of Health — Division of Cancer and Non-Communicable Diseases (MoH DNCD)
The primary government partner providing oversight, policy alignment, and institutional backing for the repository.
🤝 NCD Alliance Kenya (NCDAK)
The civil society partner driving content curation, stakeholder engagement, and community outreach across Kenya's NCD sector.
🗺️ County Governments
Counties are the level of government tasked with the provision of health services to the population, within Kenya's devolved structure of government. They translate national NCD policy into service delivery and generate much of the implementation evidence held in this repository.

The following definitions explain the types of content available in the repository to help you find the most relevant resources.
📄 Research Publications
Research publications are documents that share the results and knowledge gained from research to inform, educate, or support evidence-based decision-making.
🔬 Preliminary Research Findings
Preliminary research findings are early research results shared before a study is complete, providing initial evidence that may change as the research progresses.
🏛️ Policy Documents
