MISSION Our mission is to work with vigor and compassion through our networks and with communities to prevent and alleviate human suffering and save lives of the most vulnerable. CORE VALUES t Commitment t Accountability t Service to Humanity t Trust VALUE PROPOSITION t Always There ǘ4ǚ ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2014 OUR FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES KRCS’s programmes and projects are designed and implemented according to the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement’s fundamental principles: HUMANITY To prevent and alleviate human suffering wherever it may be found. Our purpose is to protect life and health and ensure respect for the human being. KRCS promotes mutual understanding, friendship, cooperation and lasting peace amongst all people. IMPARTIALITY KRCS makes no discrimination as to nationality, race, religious beliefs, class or political opinions. It endeavours to relieve the suffering of individuals, being guided solely by their needs, and to give priority to the most urgent cases of distress. NEUTRALITY In order to continue to enjoy the confidence of all, the Red Cross Movement does not take sides in hostilities or engage at any time in controversies of a political, racial, religious or ideological nature. INDEPENDENCE The Movement is Independent. The national societies while auxiliaries in the humanitarian services of their Governments and subject to the laws of their respective countries, must always maintain their autonomy so that they are able at all times to act in accordance with the principles of the Movement. VOLUNTARY SERVICE It is a voluntary relief movement not prompted in any manner by desire for gain. UNITY There can be only one Red Cross or Red Crescent Society in any one country. It must be open to all. It must carry on its humanitarian work throughout its territory. UNIVERSALITY The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, in which all Societies have equal status and share equal responsibilities and duties in helping each other, is worldwide. ǘ5ǚ ABBREVIATIONS 8 ABOUT KENYA RED CROSS SOCIETY 10 THE RED CROSS STRUCTURE AND ACCOUNTABILITY 13 NATIONAL EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE 14 STATEMENT FROM THE GOVERNOR 16 STATEMENT FROM THE SECRETARY GENERAL 18 THE YEAR IN NUMBERS... 20 2013 CAMPAIGNS AND RECOGNITION HIGHLIGHTS 22 352*5$00(5(32576 DISASTER MANAGEMENT 26 DADAAB 28 ',6$67(50$1$*(0(17ǟ(0(5*(1&<23(5$7,216 (0(5*(1&<0(',&$/6(59,&(6Ǔ(3/86ǔ HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES 34 WATER AND SANITATION 37 ORGANISATION DEVELOPEMENT AND COUNTY MANAGEMENT 40 NUTRITION 42 GLOBAL FUND ROUND 10 HIV PROGRAMME 44 SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT 46 7+(,17(51$7,21$/&(175()25+80$1,7$5,$1$))$,56Ǔ,&+$ǔ &2817<5(32576 ),1$1&,$/5(32576 FINANCIALS 109 TREASURERCS REPORT 110 SPECIAL PURPOSE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 111 SOCIETY INFORMATION 112 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE 113 STATEMENT OF NATIONAL EXECUTIVE COMMITTEECS RESPONSIBILITIES 114 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT TO THE NATIONAL COUNCIL 115 STATEMENT OF PROFIT OR LOSS AND OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 2014 116 STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION AS AT 31 DECEMBER 2014 117 STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN RESERVES AND FUNDS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014 118 STATEMENT OF CASH FLOW FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014 119 127(6727+(63(&,$/385326(),1$1&,$/67$7(0(176 Ǖ SUMMARY INCOME AND EXPENDITURE STATEMENTS PER DONOR 133 NATIONAL EXECUTIVE COUNCIL 134 KRCS COMMITTEE MEMBERS 136 LIST OF DONORS 137 CONTENTS Content Liaison: Diana Moraa for KRCS I Editor: Lucy Mwangi for Footprints Press I Photography: KRCS and Bobby Pal I Design and Layout: Kevin Mapesa for Footprints Press ǘ6ǚ ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2014 ǘǚ ABBREVIATIONS ACTED Agency for Technical Cooperation and Development ECHO (XURSHDQ&RPPXQLW\+XPDQLWDULDQ2ƯFH ALS Advanced Life Support EHL (ƪHFWLYH+XPDQLWDULDQ/HDGHUVKLS AMREF African Medical and Research Foundation EMOP Emergency Operations Programme ANC Ante Natal Clinic EMR Environment Management and Restoration ASAL arid and semi-arid lands ENT Ear, Nose and Throat ATLS Advanced Trauma Support EPK Eplus -

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.

    Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting in Kenya- Examining Progress Or Lack of Progress at National and Subnational Levels

    Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting in Kenya- Examining Progress or Lack of Progress at National and Subnational Levels Robert P Ndugwa PhD1 and Dr Edward Addai2 1Global Urban Observatory, Research and Capacity Development Branch, United Nations Human Settlements Programme, Nairobi, Kenya. 2UNICEF ESARO, Nairobi, Kenya Abstract Female genital mutilation or cutting (FGM/C) is widely outlawed globally, but continues to be practiced in selected communities across the globe. In Kenya, this practice is common among selected communities, and recent national trends show that the prevalence of the practice is declining. Using Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys data collected in 2011 from 6 counties from the Western region of Kenya, we demonstrate that while national figures conspire to show that the prevalence of FGM has declined but among certain communities the practice remains almost universal. Underlying factors favouring the continuation of the practice within these communities are discussed, including examining the role of cultural traditions, tribe and religion. The study demonstrates the value of collecting data at lower levels, and highlights the need to step up the responses and engagement of communities who continue practicing FGM even after outlawing this practice. Introduction Female genital mutilation or cutting (FGM/C) has continued to dominate the discourse in women’s health and empowerment as well as remaining a dominate subject for human rights violations today. Female genital mutilation or cutting (FGM/C) is a procedure or practice where the parts of the female genitals are removed, and it is practiced in over twenty countries within sub-Saharan Africa. FGM/C practice has been widely documented to interfere with the natural functioning of the body, in addition to causing many short-term and long-term health and psychological consequences (Behrendt et al.
