Health NGOs Network
Description
Health NGOs Network (HENNET) was founded in early 2005 as a result of a felt need to set up a forum for NGOs dealing with health issues for purposes of collaboration, sharing of experiences and advocacy. HENNET brings together different health oriented CSOs, with diverse interests, but all having a common vision of a ‘Healthy Kenyan Society’.
A functional and effective HENNET secretariat is hosted at AMREF Kenya Country Office.
HENNET is governed by a board of 11 member organizations elected by HENNET members. These members are Kenya Red Cross Society (Chair), Jhipiego (Vice Chair), Mildmay International (Treasurer), I Choose Life Africa (Secretary), Amref Kenya, Aga Khan Foundation, Association for the Physically Disabled – Kenya (APDK), Goal International, Kenya NGO Alliance Against Malaria (KeNAAM), World Vision and Marie Stopes Kenya. The board oversees the operations of the HENNET Secretariat which is run by a Director, a Programme Officer, an Advocacy and Communication Officer, a Monitoring and Evaluation Officer, a Finance Officer and a Programs Assistant.
