From 9 to 18 November 2025<\/strong>, a monitoring visit to Kenya<\/strong> was carried out with the aim of assessing the progress and results of projects financed from the Official Development Assistance<\/strong> of the Slovak Republic<\/strong>. Representatives of SAIDC (Slovak Agency for International Development Cooperation), the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs of the Slovak Republic, and the Embassy of the Slovak Republic in Nairobi visited selected projects in and around Nairobi, along the coast in the Kilifi region, and in the western part of the country in the West Pokot region.<\/p>

The purpose of the visit was to gain an overview of the implementation status of the projects and their impact<\/strong> on target groups, as well as to identify factors that support or, on the contrary, limit their further development. Meetings with local partners and beneficiaries provided insights into the results of implemented and completed projects and enabled the members of the monitoring team to better understand the local implementation context.<\/p>

The findings of the monitoring visit represent an important input for the future direction of the Slovak Republic\u2019s development cooperation in Kenya.<\/strong> This article presents selected projects monitored during the first three days of the visit.<\/p>

Mukuru Promotion Centre<\/strong><\/h5>


The Mukuru Promotion Centre<\/strong> operates in one of the poorest areas of Nairobi \u2014 the Mukuru informal settlement. The project responded to the limited access of the local community to basic health care and the insufficient equipment of the health centre.<\/p>

The aim of the project was to improve the material equipment of the Mary Immaculate Clinic<\/strong> and to strengthen the centre\u2019s capacities in health care provision, hygiene, nutrition and community education. Thanks to the support of SlovakAid, medical equipment was provided, training for staff and the community was delivered, and personnel support was ensured.<\/p>

Today, the clinic provides health services to approximately 70 patients per day and at the same time carries out preventive and educational activities focused on infection prevention and crisis preparedness.<\/p><\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n \t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Mater Misericordiae Hospital: Development of Paediatric Cardiac Surgery<\/strong><\/h5>

Mater Misericordiae Hospital is a long-term partner of Slovakia in the field of paediatric cardiac surgery development.<\/strong> Projects implemented in cooperation with the National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases (N\u00daSCH) <\/strong>focus on the treatment of children with congenital heart defects and on the systematic development of the professional capacities of local medical staff.<\/p>

In recent years, several medical missions of Slovak cardiac surgeons<\/strong> to Mater Hospital have been carried out within SlovakAid<\/em>-supported projects, during which dozens of children with congenital heart defects requiring complex open-heart surgical \u00a0procedures<\/strong> were operated on. Most patients came from Kenya, but children from neighbouring countries were also treated.<\/p>

As part of a comprehensive approach to strengthening health care, training of medical personnel in pre-operative and post-operative care<\/strong> was also provided. The hospital was additionally equipped with essential medical materials and supplies<\/strong> necessary for the performance of these procedures.<\/p>

Within one of the projects, a study visit of the management of Mater Hospital to the Children\u2019s Cardiac Centre in Bratislava<\/strong> was also organised, supporting the vision of establishing a Centre of Excellence for children with heart diseases in East Africa.<\/p>


Business Partnership Project: Expansion of diagnostic solutions in the field of cardiovascular diseases<\/strong><\/h5>

The project was implemented in cooperation with the Slovak company Powerful Medical, using a medical AI solution for the automated interpretation of ECG recordings (AI-powered PMcardio). The objective of the project was to strengthen the diagnostic capacities of frontline doctors and nurses<\/strong>, improve access to ECG interpretation<\/strong>, and support the early detection of health conditions that might otherwise remain unnoticed. The project established cooperation with several hospitals in Kenya, including Mater Hospital.<\/em><\/p><\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n \t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Particularly significant are projects that provide systematic teacher training<\/strong> focused on digital education and implementing school reforms, which in practice compensate for gaps in state support. These trainings are in high demand among teachers and substantially improve teaching quality<\/strong> in the region. Activities also include support for a STEM club for girls and boys<\/strong>, engaging dozens of top-performing students. The club promotes interest in science, technology, and innovation while supporting equal opportunities in education.<\/strong><\/p>

    Overall, these initiatives have enabled over 900 students to access modern, practically oriented education, opened secondary education opportunities for disadvantaged groups (including girls and students with disabilities), and helped the school rank among the top 100 schools in Kenya<\/strong>. Planned future activities include further development of practical education and strengthening the school\u2019s links with the local community and labor market.<\/p><\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n \t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Digital Skills for Young Refugee Women<\/strong><\/h5>


    The project addressed the need to expand educational opportunities through digital and globally applicable skills.
    <\/strong>As part of the initiative, an IT lab was established and equipped, trainers were certified through the CISCO curriculum, and digital education was provided in areas such as IT, cybersecurity, and computer literacy.

    The program also included career guidance and preparation for online work, allowing some graduates to earn their first income from digital employment.
    The project thus contributed to increasing the competitiveness of young women<\/strong> in the labor market and opened new avenues for sustainable income<\/strong>.<\/p><\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n \t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
