Locations of county EOCs supported by CDC Kenya in a review of longstanding public health collaborations between the government of Kenya and CDC Kenya in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. By early 2021, the Kenya Ministry of Health, US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Kenya, and World Health Organization began decentralizing Kenya’s emergency management. As of December 2021, a total of 17 county-led EOCs had been established in Kenya. Those 17 new EOCs established incident management systems and produced routine situation reports that guided the county-level response to the COVID-19 epidemic in Kenya.
