dc.description.abstractStrategic partnerships of the government and NGOs can help in solving many development issues in the developing countries. Good health has been severally discussed as a great pillar that will help to steer the achievement of Vision 2030 for Kenya. While we may appreciate the good steps to provide free healthcare in the public hospitals, the stagnant GDP is a great concern to the achievement of this noble objective. Kenya still relies heavily on support from development partners which in most cases is channelled through NGOs because the government is at timesconsidered too bureaucratic to adequately implement programs. The Ministry of Health has the duty of providing healthcare to all but due to its limited resources, there is need to partner with the NGOs for improved healthcare. The objective of this study was to assess how the strategic partnerships of MOH and NGOs have contributed towards the healthcare improvement in Mombasa. The study used both quantitative and qualitative research methods where questionnaires were administered to 26 health facilities in charges and six interviews conducted with key personnel of some selected NGOs. The findings were that at least 80.8% of the facilities have partnered with the NGOs and the main areas of intervention have been in purchase of equipment, community mobilization and sensitization and staff training. Amongst the needed areas of intervention are continuous staff training for more capacity, refurbishment of facilities and purchase of equipment. The NGOs indicated close working with the MOH and that close collaboration should be encouraged to ensure setting of more harmonized health priorities. There is need for MOH ownership of programs initiated by NGOs. It is also important to share information amongst the different partners.en_US
