Committed to a malaria-free Lake Region Get in Touch
LERN coordinates seven integrated programme areas across 8 counties of the Lake Endemic Region, driving community-led responses to malaria and related health challenges.
Explore each of LERN’s seven programme areas and their key focus activities below.
LERN coordinates evidence-based malaria prevention and control interventions across the 8 counties of the Lake Endemic Region. Member organisations implement community-level strategies targeting malaria transmission through distribution of long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs), community education, and integrated case management at the household and facility level.
LERN supports integrated HIV and TB responses that strengthen community health systems and expand treatment access. Member CSOs address barriers to HIV testing, treatment adherence, and TB case finding across the Lake Endemic Region, with a focus on key and vulnerable populations.
LERN builds resilient local structures that support effective, accountable, and sustainable health service delivery. This includes strengthening community health volunteer networks, community-based organisations, and local accountability mechanisms across all 8 counties.
LERN advances sustainable health systems by supporting financing, infrastructure, and supply chain improvements across the Lake Endemic Region. Member organisations advocate for increased domestic health financing and work to address systemic barriers to equitable health service delivery.
LERN empowers communities to track, evaluate, and influence the quality and impact of health programmes through structured community-led monitoring approaches. CLM data is used to strengthen accountability between communities, service providers, and government, and to drive evidence-based programme improvements.
LERN mainstreams rights-based and gender-responsive approaches across all programme areas, ensuring interventions reach the most vulnerable and marginalised populations. This programme promotes social inclusion, challenges discriminatory norms, and ensures equitable access to health services for all communities.
LERN influences health policy, mobilises domestic resources, and amplifies community voices in decision-making at county, national, and regional levels. Member organisations engage government, donors, and other stakeholders to increase investment in malaria elimination and community-led health systems.
