Project Outline In Kenya, provision of medical service focusing more on prevention was a key issue to improve the situation under which many people have suffered from preventable diseases and more expenses for their treatments were required. In particular, according to the WHO mortality country fact sheet 2006, the main causes of death for children under 5 years were pneumonia (20%), diarrhea (16%) and measles (3%) which were diseases Background preventable by immunization. Therefore, the government of Kenya had been implementing vaccination under “the Kenya Expanded Programme on Immunization” (KEPI) since 1980. However, there was insufficient storage capacity for vaccines and transportation of vaccines from the National Vaccine Depot to the Regional Vaccine Depots was not smoothly carried out, which hampered efficient immunization services. To enable more efficient stock management and delivery of vaccines by construction of the Central and Objectives of the Regional Vaccine Depots and procurement of equipment for adequate storage of vaccines, thereby contributing to Project improvement for the full immunization coverage in Kenya 1.

FOREWORD The Government of Kenya’s commitment to provide for children out of family care is demonstrated by the various policies and legislative frameworks that have been developed in the recent years. All children are equal rights-holders and deserve to be within families and community as enshrined in the Constitution of Kenya 2010 and the Children Act 2001. The development of this training manual recognizes the role of the family and the community in the care of our children while the accompanying user friendly handbook aims to boost the skills and knowledge of case workers and practioners in the child protection sector. All efforts need to be made to support families to continue to care for their children and, if this is not possible, to place a child in a family-based alternative care arrangement, such as; kinship care, foster care, guardianship, Kafaalah, Supported Independent Living (SIL), or adoption.

    The Long-Term Impacts of Youth Investments in Kenya on Economic Preferences Pre-Analysis Plan AEA RCT Title: Experimental Evidence on Child Health and Long-run Outcomes in Kenya RCT ID: AEARCTR-0001191 Principal Investigators: Livia Alfonsi (University of California, Berkeley), Michal Bauer (CERGE-EI and Charles University), Julie Chytilová (Charles University and CERGE-EI), Edward Miguel (University of California, Berkeley), and Michael Walker (University of California, Berkeley) Date: July 11, 2019 Appendix: KLPS-4 I Module Survey Instrument 1 Summary: This document outlines the plan for analyzing the long-term impacts of a series of child and adolescent health, skills and financial investments on a set of fundamental economic preferences. Our primary analysis will study the 20-year impacts of a randomized school deworming program in western Kenya using data from the fourth round of the Kenya Life Panel Survey (KLPS-4). The deworming analysis builds on that of Baird et al. (2016), using different outcome variables. The fourth round of KLPS was launched in 2018 and is currently ongoing. KLPS-4 also serves as the 10-year follow-up of a vocational training voucher program, and the 5-year follow-up of a cash grant program, and we analyze the impacts of these programs as a secondary analysis. The analysis outlined here will be split into five groups of outcomes: (1) time preference, (2) decision- making under uncertainty, (3) pro-social behavior, (4) anti-social behavior, and (5) preference for truth- telling. To measure preferences, we use experimentally validated survey measures or incentivized tasks. This document lays out the main regression specifications and outcome variable definitions that are intended for use for the long-term impacts analysis of these five groups of outcomes.
