USAID APHIA II Coast Program has been working with the government to strengthen community participation in health planning at the grassroots. As part of these efforts, the program, jointly with the Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation, organized a consultative meeting of various local committees in Gongoni, Malindi District, Coast Province. Members of the Community Health Committee (CHC), Village Health Committee (VHC) and other stakeholders attended the meeting.
