Strengthening Food Policy in Kenya: Reflections from the Simplified Kenya Nutrient Profile Model Validation Workshop

I was glad to participate in the Validation Workshop for the Simplified Kenya Nutrient Profile Model, convened by KELIN on 17 September 2026. The workshop brought together policymakers, researchers, civil society organisations and other key stakeholders to review and validate the proposed simplified nutrient profile model. It also provided an opportunity to discuss how the model could potentially be applied to support healthy food policies in Kenya and to build consensus on the way forward for its implementation....

What Today’s Alcohol Policy News Talk Taught Me About Big Alcohol

Today’s Alcohol Policy News Talk (APNT) hosted by Movendi International offered another valuable opportunity to examine how the alcohol industry influences not only consumption, but also culture, public narratives and policy. One of the most striking discussions centred on The Glenlivet’s recent South African campaign, which used the legacy of the 1956 Women’s March and the images of prominent women liberation figures to market whisky during Women’s Month....

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to present at the 4th To***co Taxation Conference, organised by the National Taxpayers Association (NTA), where I spoke about the need to strengthen advocacy and policy strategies to address to***co industry interference in to***co taxation.

From Learning to Sharing: Bringing the ASCEND Experience to Young To***co Control Advocates in Kenya

Leadership development is most meaningful when the knowledge and skills gained are shared with others.

What Kenya’s To***co Control Data Are Telling Us: We Need Stronger Taxes, Better Enforcement and Evidence-Based Action

I recently had the opportunity to attend the Kenya Stakeholders' Forum to Strengthen To***co Control Data and Engagement, a meeting that brought together stakeholders to examine some of the issues shaping to***co control in Kenya. For me, the forum was more than another meeting about to***co control. It was an opportunity to reflect on an important question: Do we have the data, policies, taxation systems, and enforcement mechanisms needed to protect Kenyans from the harms of to***co?...

To***co Control Funds Must Deliver for Public Health: Lessons from Kenya’s Solatium Fund Roundtable

What happens when resources are collected in the name of public health, but the public cannot clearly see the health impact of those resources? This was one of the questions that stayed with me after participating in a roundtable discussion on the Strategic Utilization of Kenya’s Solatium Fund for Health Financing and To***co Control, convened by the NTA....

Creating Healthier Food Environments: Why Kenya Must Act on Obesity Prevention

When we talk about obesity, the conversation often focuses on individual responsibility: eat healthier, exercise more and maintain a healthy weight. But how much choice do people really have when the environment around them makes unhealthy choices easier, cheaper, more accessible and more heavily promoted? This was one of the questions I reflected on during a recent dialogue convened by…...

This week I had the opportunity to participate in the Multi-Stakeholder Dialogue on Integrating Gender Considerations into To***co and Health Taxation Policies, organized by the National Taxpayers Association (NTA).
