From Theory to Practice: Validating Our Framework with Community Stakeholders

As part of the C-it DU-it realist evaluation, we hosted a validation workshop with diverse community stakeholders in .

The session focused on reviewing and refining our programme theories, ensuring they are grounded in practical experience and reflect actual conditions on the ground. This collaborative step is key to enhancing the relevance and accuracy of our research framework.

We aimed to gather direct feedback to help reshape our theories before moving into the next phase of data collection. The participants contributed actively to detailed discussions, offering insightful perspectives that will directly inform our revisions.

The workshop proved highly productive, underscoring the value of community expertise in shaping meaningful evaluation work.

We appreciate everyone who contributed their time and insight, and we look forward to applying this feedback as we prepare for the next round of research.

USAID Stawisha Pwani Stawisha Pwani has modelled a groundbreaking, free, and open-access automated methadone dispensing system that revolutionizes Opioid Replacement Therapy (ORT). The innovation replaces error-prone manual records and provides an alternative and more efficient system with a high-accountability digital framework.

Engineered to function seamlessly offline, the system enhances clinical efficiency and patient safety through real-time tracking and specialized modules for complex dosing needs in prisons and takeaway settings. With an initial remarkable user satisfaction level, this innovation significantly mitigates diversion risks and strengthens compliance safeguards, transforming the delivery of ORT into a transparent, secure, and highly intuitive process that prioritizes both provider oversight and opioid users' recovery.

Early this week, young people truly took center stage at the Y-NAP Knowledge Management & Learning Forum. 💙✨

Through handmade, heartfelt presentations, SRH Champions from Nairobi, Bungoma & Samburu showcased their creativity, leadership and the real impact they’re making in their communities — all through the Y-NAP Project supported by UNAIDS and County Governments in these counties.

Designed from the start as a youth-led program, Y-NAP continues to empower young people while strengthening support from county governments, religious leaders, parents, caregivers and community leaders.
The energy, honesty and passion in the room showed us one thing clearly the work is powerful, and this is just the beginning of something even greater taking root in our communities.

We are joined by 45 passionate participants from Nairobi, Bungoma and Samburu — SRH Champions, county health teams, LVCT Kenya, UNAIDS and the County Goverments of Samburu, Bungoma & Nairobi. This forum also gave young people a chance to tell their own stories of impact through handmade presentations, showcasing their creativity and the unique ways they choose to express their work in the community.

From the start, LVCT Kenya and UNAIDS designed Y-NAP as a youth-led program, empowering young people and strengthening support from county governments, religious leaders, parents and community members.
