<h2 id="h_01HQAJ2ERZCY0PB3G2QKZWNSRW">What is cervical cancer?</h2>
Cervical cancer is a cancer that starts in a woman's cervix. The cervix is the opening of the uterus. It connects the vagina (or birth canal) to the uterus (womb). Human papillomavirus (HPV), a common sexually transmitted infection, is a primary cause of cervical cancer. However, not all HPV infections lead to cervical cancer. Cervical cancer usually starts with changes to the cells on the cervix, called dysplasia. These abnormal cells can be removed to prevent cancer if found early.
<h2 id="h_01HQAJ2M16KS0AZR48CTMN9F1C">What are the symptoms of cervical cancer?</h2>
In the early stages of cervical cancer, there are often no symptoms. The longer a woman has cervical cancer without treatment, the more likely she will have symptoms. Some of the symptoms of later-stage cervical cancer can include:
<ul>
<li>Heavy vaginal bleeding or discharge (more than usual)</li>
<li>Bleeding after sex, between periods, or after a pelvic exam</li>
<li>Pain during sex or urination</li>
</ul>
If you have any of these symptoms, visit the health facility nearest to you. These symptoms may be caused by something else, but the only way to know for sure is to see your healthcare provider.
<h2 id="h_01HQAJ3515K37VM3YVDM9TZ314">What are the risk factors for cervical cancer?</h2>
A risk factor is anything that increases the chance of getting a disease. Any woman can get cervical cancer, but some women are at higher risk because of factors such as:
<ul>
<li>Having the Human Papillomavirus Virus (HPV)</li>
</ul>
HPV causes nearly all cases of cervical cancer. It is the most common sexually transmitted infection. Both men and women can have HPV.
HPV often goes away on its own, but if it does not, it could cause cervical cancer in women. Many women will have a HPV infection at some point in their lives, but few will get cervical cancer.
<ul>
<li>Not Getting Screened</li>
</ul>
Cervical cancer is most often found in women who have not been screened (tested or examined). Cancer screening is looking for cancer before you have any signs and symptoms. Cancer found early may be easier to treat.
When you get screened, health care providers will check for the presence of abnormal cells or for HPV infection. Women who have been screened but do not follow up with their health care provider when results are abnormal are also more likely to develop cervical cancer.
<ul>
<li>Smoking</li>
</ul>
Women who smoke are about two times more likely to get cervical cancer, compared to women who do not smoke.
Research shows that cigarettes may damage the cells of the cervix, which can lead to cervical cancer. Smoking also weakens the immune system, making it harder to fight off HPV infections.
<ul>
<li>Age</li>
</ul>
Women over the age of 30 are more likely to get cervical cancer.
Other risk factors for cervical cancer include:
<ul>
<li>Having been treated for cervical cancer before or for abnormal cells that may become cancer</li>
<li>Giving birth three or more times</li>
<li>Having multiple sexual partners is a risk factor for HPV which is the primary cause for cancer.</li>
<li>Having HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, or any other condition that makes it hard for your body to fight off infections</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="h_01HQAJ56YFRM8ECQT259B8DH9J">How can I lower my chances of getting cervical cancer?</h2>
<img src="https://signpost-kenya.zendesk.com/hc/article_attachments/16979942563613" alt="Cervical Cancer Article .png">
Some risk factors, like age, cannot be controlled, but others can. Some ways to lower the risk of cervical cancer or prevent it entirely are:
<ul>
<li>Get Vaccinated</li>
</ul>
The HPV vaccine protects against the types of HPV that most often cause cervical cancer. It is recommended for both males and females.
In females, the HPV vaccine helps to prevent cervical, vaginal, and vulvar cancers. It also protects against cancer of the anus, mouth, and throat.
The Vaccine is given to girls aged 9-11 years.
<ul>
<li>Get Screened</li>
</ul>
Cervical cancer can be prevented or found early with regular checkups. There is one screening test that can help prevent cervical cancer or find it early:
Visual Inspection using Acetic acid screening test
With this the health care provider will discuss with you about the screening test then a device called “speculum” will be carefully inserted into the vagina to expose the cervix. Then acetic acid is applied to it and observed for color change. If it turns positive, treatment is done on the spot and if negative, you will be given a card (Biodata, a unique assigned number, parity, vital sign (Blood pressure readings) the screening type done with the result and the next possible return date)
<h2 id="h_01HQAJ6FGA4BPJGCZ3J39S2KQQ">Cervical Cancer Screening Recommendations for Women at Average Risk</h2>
<ul>
<li>Women aged 18 to 65 years have the choice to get screened every 5 years</li>
<li>Women who are not having sex or who think they're too old to have a child should still have regular cervical cancer screenings.</li>
<li>Women who have had the HPV vaccine still need regular screening.</li>
<li>Women can stop getting screened if they are older than 65 and have had normal screening test results for 10 years.</li>
<li>Women who have had their cervix removed during surgery for a non-cancerous reason, such as fibroids, may not need screening.</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="h_01HQAJ6WE7MXPKX4C3S6BSQR6T">Where can I get a cervical cancer screening?</h2>
Cervical cancer screening is freely available in all IRC facilities in Kakuma and the Main hospital in Hagadera.
<h2 id="h_01HQAJ756744XV9WG4VKA8MVK8">Can I get treatment for cervical cancer?</h2>
YES. Only if it is diagnosed early.

Sample Copy of a BR-1 form
A business permit is a government-issued authorization allowing you to operate a business. It is a legal requirement that any business owner must have. In Kenya, the county governments in each county are mandated to issue single business permits to different businesses operating within the counties. The business permit is issued once and then renewed annually by the County Government. You can apply through the County’s portal <a href="https://garissa.go.ke/ova_doc/business-license-application/">https://garissa.go.ke/ova_doc/business-license-application/</a>
A business caught operating without a license could be forced to cease operations. In some cases, once the licenses are attained, the business is free to reopen. But in some instances, a business might have to wait out a mandatory probationary period, or worse, a city can refuse to grant a license to the business.
In this article, you will learn the reason why you need a business permit, how to get a business permit, what You Need to Get a Business Permit, and how to Renew Your Business Permit. 
Why Do You Need a Business Permit?
<ul>
<li>It is a legal requirement.</li>
<li>Helps the County Government raise revenue.</li>

 How Do You Get a Business Permit?
The registration of business permits at the county level is done by the county revenue authorities. In Dadaab, the Garissa County Government is responsible for registering businesses within the County. This is done by the Department of Revenue Management, through the County Revenue Office, which is responsible for registering business and giving business permits. The registration is done using the prescribed form and the billing is done per the Finance Act. https://kra.go.ke/images/publications/The-Finance-Act--2023.pdf
For one to have a business permit one must have a business registration certificate. A Business Registration Certificate is a document issued after the completion of the business registration process.

What Is Polio?
Polio is a serious disease caused by poliovirus that attacks the nervous system leading to paralysis and even death. It is an infectious disease. Polio enters the body through water or food that has been contaminated with poliovirus. Polio is easily spread from person to person. Every child is at risk, for this reason, all children under the age of 15yrs MUST be vaccinated. There is no cure, but there are safe and effective vaccines to prevent polio.

In the article, you will also know whether polio is treatable or not. Your questions on whether the Polio vaccine has any side effects on those who have been vaccinated will be answered after reading this article. 
<img src="https://signpost-kenya.zendesk.com/hc/article_attachments/15026842357533" alt="polio artwork.png">
 
What Are the Causes of Polio?
Polio is caused by the poliovirus. It spreads through contact with infected feces. This often happens from poor handwashing. It can also happen from eating or drinking contaminated food or water. It can also be spread when an infected person coughs or sneezes infected droplets into the air. Those with the virus can excrete the virus in their stool for several weeks. People are most contagious right before symptoms start and soon after they appear.
 
How Does Polio Spread?
Polio spreads through encountering poop (feces) of an infected person (fecal-oral route). It can also spread by:
<ul>
<li>Not washing your hands after going to the bathroom or touching poop (like changing diapers).</li>
<li>Drinking contaminated water or getting it in your mouth.</li>
<li>Eating foods that have touched contaminated water.</li>
<li>Swimming in contaminated water. Water can become contaminated when someone who has diarrhea swims in it.</li>
<li>Breathing in droplets from a cough or sneeze of a person with polio.</li>
<li>Being in close contact with someone with polio.</li>
<li>Touching contaminated surfaces.</li>
</ul>
What Are the Symptoms of Polio?
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), most infected people (90%) have mild or no symptoms that usually go unrecognized. while others will show paralytic symptoms.
1. Mild polio presents with 1 or more of these symptoms:
<ul>
<li>Fever</li>
<li>Decreased appetite</li>
<li>Nausea and/or vomiting</li>
<li>Sore throat</li>
<li>Not feeling well all over (malaise)</li>
<li>Constipation</li>
<li>Abdominal pain</li>
</ul>
2. Paralytic polio has the following symptoms:
<ul>
<li> Muscle weakness all over</li>
<li>Severe constipation</li>
<li>Muscle wasting</li>
<li>Weakened breathing</li>
<li>Trouble swallowing</li>
<li>Muscle paralysis (may be permanent)</li>
<li>Drooling</li>
</ul>
The community members are requested to report to the nearest health facility any child under 15yrs who develops sudden weakness of hands or legs or both with no history of injury.
 
<img src="https://signpost-kenya.zendesk.com/hc/article_attachments/15026858182941" alt="polio artwork2.png">
 
How Can You Prevent Polio?
There are only two measures to prevent polio. They include:
<ul>
<li>Good hygiene and handwashing</li>
<li>Vaccines</li>
</ul>
Is Polio Treatable?
A vaccine can prevent polio, but there is no specific treatment for people who become infected. Treatment is focused on easing symptoms. However, supportive measures that can used to ease polio symptoms include:
<ul>
<li>Drinking fluids (such as water, juice, and broth).</li>
<li>Using heat packs to help muscle aches.</li>
<li>Taking pain relievers.</li>
<li>Doing physical therapy and any exercise recommended by your healthcare provider.</li>
<li>Getting plenty of rest.</li>
<li>Healthful diet</li>
<li>Hot packs or heating pads for muscle pain</li>
</ul>
Is The Polio Vaccine Safe?
Yes. All vaccines offered by the Ministry of Health are tested, safe, effective, and approved by the World Health Organization (WHO). Additionally, all medical supplies and commodities including vaccines that are used in the country have undergone rigorous quality control testing procedures by the Pharmacy and Poisonous Board (National Quality Control Laboratory). Several doses of the vaccines provide additional protection and boost the immunity of your child without any harm.
Does The Polio Vaccine Have Side Effects?
On rare occasions, these shots can cause mild or severe allergic reactions, such as:
<ul>
<li>Breathing problems</li>
<li>High fever</li>
<li>Dizziness</li>
<li>Hives</li>
<li>Swelling of throat</li>
<li>Rapid heart rate</li>
</ul>
Why Does the Ministry of Health Conduct Repeated Polio Campaigns in Garissa?
Some counties continue to record low immunization coverage for children under 15 years of age, hence increasing the risk. Garissa County is one of the Counties that record low immunization coverage and yet it is one of the high-risk areas due to unvaccinated new arrivals from Somalia. To ensure full protection of children and stop transmission of poliovirus, we need to ensure all children are vaccinated each time there is a campaign. Vaccinating all children will protect them and prevent the polio virus from circulating in the community. Make sure your child receives all the scheduled childhood vaccines at the right time at the nearest immunizing health facility.
 
In case your child who is from Hagadera, Garissa County misses the vaccination, call IRC at 070460051

How To Apply for A Single Business Permit in Kakuma and Kalobeyi

When El Niño comes knocking, it does not arrive empty-handed; it brings a storm of adverse effects to the affected areas. From disease outbreaks to facility destruction and a cloud of insecurity, it is a tempest that demands preparedness. So, join us in this article as we explore the essential precautions to keep you safe in the face of El Niño's fury. Grab a cool drink, settle in, and let us embark on a journey to secure your safety amidst the El Niño." 
What is El Nino?
El Nino is the climate pattern that describes the warming of the surface of the Pacific Ocean that can lead to drastic changes in weather patterns all over the world.
One expected effect of the El Nino period in the Northeastern part of Africa is above-average rainfall resulting in floods in some parts of Eastern Africa. El Nino can bring about some significant weather changes, therefore we must remain alert and adhere to warnings by relevant authorities.
What to expect during El Nino
According to the Water Resources Authority, heavy rainfall may lead to river levels rising significantly. It may overtop the banks and cause flooding in adjacent low-lying areas such as lower Nyando, lower Nzoia, lower Sondu, lower Gucha Migori and the shoreline streams of Lake Victoria basin; lower Perkerra, Enkare Narok river at Rumuruti, lower Tana River at Garissa, Hola, and Garsen. Other areas to be on the lookout for include the Laggas within the mid-Tana basin (Kitui and Makueni Counties) and the Ewaso Ngíro North basin (Wajir and Mandera). There is also a high possibility of the filling of dams with a likelihood of them spilling over and causing flooding downstream. The major dams in the country include Bathi, Chemeron, Chemususu, Chinga, Ellegirini, Kakuzi, Gitaru, Kamburu, Kiambere, Kindaruma, Masinga, Kiboko, Kikoneni, Kimau, Kirandich, Kiserian, Maruba, Mkurumudzi, Moiben, Mulima, Muoni, Radat, Ruiru, Sasumua, Sondu Miriu, Thiba, Ndakaini, Tindress and Turkwel dams.

Diseases and infection
Flooding and intense rainfall caused by El Nino may significantly limit access to safe water, sanitation facilities, and hygiene services. Water-borne infections could result from damaged or flooded sewage infrastructure. Other consequences of El Nino include:
<ul>
<li>The threat of disease outbreaks is elevated during the rainy season. Backflow from drains that have mixed with floodwaters can become trapped in open areas when inundations recede.</li>
<li>These stagnant pools often become a breeding ground for mosquitoes and bacteria, increasing the incidence of insect- and waterborne diseases such as malaria, Rift Valley fever, and dengue fever.</li>
<li>Exposure to contaminated water from inundated industrial sites, sewer systems, and septic tanks also poses a significant health threat leading to diseases such as typhoid fever, shigellosis, and hepatitis A and E.</li>
<li>Food preparation may be similarly impacted, hence the increased cases of Leptospirosis, a rodent-borne disease associated with flooding.</li>
<li>Increase in respiratory illnesses such as asthma as a result of prolonged periods of cold weather especially in flooded houses.</li>
<li>Rise in Mental health issues as a result of displacement and loss/destruction of property/lives.</li>
<li>Destruction of infrastructure such as roads, bridges, and health facilities due to flooding, making it difficult to access health care, especially among the most vulnerable in the community.</li>
</ul>
Infrastructure damage
<ul>
<li>Floodwaters and debris flows may render some bridges, rail networks, or roadways impassable, impacting overland travel in and around affected areas, especially in rural areas, where infrastructure is already of a poor standard.</li>
<li>Ponding on road surfaces could cause hazardous driving conditions on regional highways. Authorities could temporarily close some low-lying routes that become inundated by floodwaters.</li>
<li>Severe weather could also trigger flight delays and cancellations at domestic and international airports.</li>
<li>Authorities may temporarily suspend port operations or close beaches if strong winds trigger hazardous sea conditions.</li>
<li>Flooding could block regional rail lines; freight and passenger train delays and cancellations are possible in areas that see heavy rainfall and potential track inundation.</li>
<li>Localized business disruptions may occur; some businesses might not operate at full capacity because of flood damage to facilities, possible evacuations, and some employees' inability to reach work sites.</li>
<li>Security risk increases during the rainy season due to poor road conditions of roads, loss of electricity.</li>
<li>Looting of shelters/property of persons who escape the floods.</li>
<li>Food shortage</li>
</ul>
 El Niño rains may cause flooding and erosion, which can damage crops and livestock, leading to food shortages.
 
Protection risks
The break in law-and-order systems, disruptions in the normal lives. Emergencies that are occurring due to EL Nino can cause various risks and unsafe environments. It can include violation of human rights and barriers to service access, adding up to protection risks and emergencies; Specifically;
<ul>
<li>Limited access to health and nutrition services.</li>
<li>Limited access to communication channels</li>
<li>Increased rumors and misinformation</li>
<li>Disrupt Internet connectivity.</li>
<li>People with disabilities may suffer during displacement.</li>
<li>Older people’s specific needs may be neglected in emergency</li>
<li>Human trafficking (a crime that involves compelling or coercing a person to provide labor or services, or to engage in commercial sex acts), loss of identification documents, and other important documents</li>
<li>Undocumented new arrivals are at more risk of exploitation and abuse.</li>
<li>The closure of schools can immediately remove a good protective sphere for children. These factors may lead girls and women to be much more exposed to sexual exploitation and sexual violence.</li>
</ul>
 
What you should do during El nino
 
Nutrition for newborn babies
The flooding resulting from the El Nino rains will cause more diarrhea cases, which will cause malnutrition. During the El Nino rains, mothers need to:
<ul>
<li>Increase breastfeeding their child for the first six months (do not give them any other foods or liquids, even water). Therefore, the mother and child should not be separated at night.</li>
<li>Breastfeed more frequently when the baby is ill, even when he/she has diarrhea, to prevent weight loss and speed up recovery.</li>
<li>Take your baby to the health facility immediately if the baby is refusing to breastfeed.</li>
<li>Only give them medicines that have been prescribed by the health care provider.</li>
<li>Mothers should increase the frequency of breastfeeding during the recovery period to help the baby regain weight and catch up in growth.</li>
</ul>
For children 6-24 months, Mothers should:
<ul>

<li>Seek safe shelter: Whenever possible, seek safe shelter that can protect from heavy rain, strong winds, and potential flooding. If living in temporary structures, improve your resilience to adverse weather conditions.</li>
<li>Store belongings in a safe place: Store important documents, food, and belongings above ground level to prevent damage from flooding. Ensure that emergency supplies, such as clean water, non-perishable food, and first aid kits, are readily accessible.</li>
<li>Stay away from flooded areas: Due to the likelihood of flash floods following heavy rains, it is advisable to avoid areas prone to flooding whenever possible. If feasible, consider relocating to safer grounds before the onset of the rains. Follow the guidance of local authorities regarding evacuation if necessary.</li>
<li>Prepare an emergency kit: Create an emergency kit that includes essential items like clothing documents, blankets, flashlights, batteries, a portable radio, hygiene supplies, and any necessary medications. Keep this kit easily accessible should you need to leave in a rush.</li>
<li>Plan evacuation routes: Identify safe evacuation routes in advance and ensure all family members know the way to reach a safe shelter. Establish a meeting point if family members get separated during an evacuation.</li>
<li>Stay connected: Have a communication plan in place with family members, friends, or support networks. Ensure you have charged mobile phones and a way to keep them powered, like portable or solar chargers.</li>
<li>Community support: Collaborate with other refugees and the local community to share resources, and information, and support one another during adverse weather events.</li>
<li>Seek assistance: If you face an emergency, do not hesitate to seek help from local authorities, humanitarian organizations, or community leaders or call any of the numbers indicated below for guidance and assistance during crises.</li>
<li>Ensure that the water drainage system at your home is functioning properly, allowing water to flow away from the house. This can be achieved by repairing any broken or leaking house gutters.</li>
<li>Clear any accumulated trash or debris in the compound that could obstruct drainage, enabling smooth water flow.</li>
<li>Trim tree branches and limbs in the compound that may appear weak due to winds and dry weather. This precaution prevents uprooting during heavy rain season.</li>
<li>Refrain from walking or driving through flooded roadways to prevent the risk of drowning. Exercise caution and choose alternative routes if necessary.</li>
<li>Heavy rainfall often leads to power blackouts, so it is essential to have an alternative power system for backup, which can be helpful in such situations.</li>
<li>Avoid contact with electrical equipment that could cause electrocution during heavy rains. Stay away from exposed wires or electrical appliances to ensure personal safety.</li>
<li>Avoid parking under trees as heavy rains could cause uprooting and breaking thus damage to your motor vehicle.</li>
<li>Lastly, remember to stay Warm.</li>

How To Stay Safe During El nino

Dengue is a viral infection transmitted to humans through the bite of infected mosquitoes- particularly the Aedes Egypti mosquito which is mostly found in hot places. There have been several outbreaks of Dengue fever in Kenya since the first case in 1982. For instance, according to a report by <a href="https://reliefweb.int/report/kenya/kenya-dengue-fever-outbreak-final-report-dref-n-mdrke048" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Reliefweb</a>, in 2021, during an outbreak in the coastal region of Kenya and more than 1,788 cases were reported.
While some infections develop into serious flu-like symptoms requiring medical intervention, more than 80% of infections are not severe and don't show many symptoms. Because of this, it is not known for sure how many cases of Dengue fever there have been in Kenya as many of them did not become serious and, therefore, were never reported.
Dengue is becoming more common worldwide, and about half of the people in the world are now at risk of getting it. According to The <a href="https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/dengue-and-severe-dengue" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">World Health Organization,</a> every year, there are somewhere between 100 million to 400 million dengue infections.
 
Causes/ Transmission
<ul>
<li>The Aedes Mosquito bite</li>
</ul>
Dengue fever is mainly spread by the bite of infected Aedes mosquitoes. A mosquito becomes infected when it bites a person who has dengue in his or her blood. After about a week, the mosquito can spread the disease to another person when it bites. These mosquitoes are mainly found in hot places.
<img src="https://signpost-kenya.zendesk.com/hc/article_attachments/14956609801117">
<ul>
<li>Other ways that Dengue Fever can be spread</li>
</ul>
Maternal Transmission- There is evidence of the possibility of Dengue fever being passed from a pregnant mother to her baby. This is, however, linked to the timing of infection during pregnancy. Infection during pregnancy may lead to a baby being born with low weight, birth before the baby is due or babies developing health problems before or during labor. 
Dengue fever has also been found to be spread through organ donation and blood transfusion, although these are very rare cases.
Dengue cannot be spread directly from one person to another.
 
How do you know if you or someone else has Dengue Fever?
 Dengue fever can start with a high fever lasting for 2-7 days. One may also have:
<ul>
<li>Severe headache</li>
<li>Pain behind the eyes</li>
<li>Muscle and joint pains</li>
<li>Nausea-feeling like vomiting </li>
<li>Vomiting</li>
<li>Swollen glands</li>
<li>Rashes</li>
</ul>
More serious symptoms include:
<ul>
<li>Serious pain in the abdomen</li>
<li>Persistent vomiting</li>
<li>Faster than normal breathing</li>
<li>Bleeding gums or nose </li>
<li>Fatigue/Feeling extremely tired</li>
<li>Inability to stay calm</li>
<li>Liver enlargement</li>
<li>Blood in vomit or stool. </li>
</ul>
 
How to detect dengue fever
A doctor or other healthcare provider may suspect Dengue Fever based on how a patient presents, especially if a high fever is accompanied by any other two symptoms of Dengue. Your travel history may also conclude to the suspicion.

<li>What is a death certificate?</li>
</ul>
A death Certificate is a civil document issued by the Government as an official record for someone who dies anywhere in Kenya. Once the certificate is issued, it becomes the proof of registration.  It is required by the Kenyan Government to register a death.
 
<img src="https://signpost-kenya.zendesk.com/hc/article_attachments/14953848620189" alt="Picture2.png">
Importance of death certificate
<ul>
<li>Death Certificate is legal proof of death.</li>
<li>It provides the particulars of the deceased i.e. name, age, sex, residence, occupation, date of death, place, and cause of death.</li>
<li>It can be useful in making changes to the Proof of Registration (POR) eg with UNHCR</li>
<li>It can be useful in proving death during the resettlement or any other processes</li>
<li>It can prove one is an orphan /widow/widower and can prove vulnerability during the resettlement process.</li>
<li>It is necessary when closing the deceased’s records eg with UNHCR and DRS.</li>
<li>It gives the government statistics on population, causes of death, life expectancy, etc.</li>
<li>It’s important when dealing with inheritance issues and establishing family ties with the deceased.</li>
</ul>
What is the process of acquiring a death certificate?
To get a  death certificate; the following steps must be followed:
<ol>
<li>Death notification,</li>
<li>Death registration</li>
<li>Issuance of the death certificate.</li>
</ol>
Death Notification and Registration Process in Dadaab
<ul>
<li>Death Notification</li>
</ul>
The death can happen at the hospital or at home, Death notification must be done within the first month from the date when the person died.
<ul>
<li>Hospital death:</li>
</ul>
If the death happened at the hospital, notification of death/ a burial permit, (A burial permit is a required document to be acquired before a body can be buried or cremated) is issued immediately by the hospital.
 
The following are the steps taken in case the death happened at the hospital:
<ul>
<li>The medical officers/practitioners must confirm that death has occurred at the hospital bed.</li>
<li>They will fill in a death registration form (D1) in 3 copies, notifying that the person died at the hospital.</li>
<li>They will give the original death registration form (D1) to next-of-kin of the deceased.</li>
<li>The next-of-kin will take the form with the original Refugee ID or UNHCR POR through UNHCR to the Registrar of Births and Deaths for registration.</li>
<li>A permit to dispose of body is issued (usually the next-of-kin is given the original and a copy to submit to Registrar for a permit to be issued)</li>
</ul>
Home Death 
Home deaths are registered by the Assistant Chief who is the gazette assistant registrar and should be reported immediately or within 3 months.
The following are the steps one needs to take.
<ul>
<li>Report the case to the Assistant Chief’s office or the Chief in the area.</li>
<li>Report the case at the police station which will confirm that the death is not being considered a criminal act.</li>
<li>The Assistant Chief will fill out the D1 form and should be accompanied by the original Refugee ID.</li>
<li>The forms are sent to the Registrar.</li>
<li>A permit to dispose of body is issued (usually the next-of-kin is given the original and a copy to submit to Registrar for a permit to be issued</li>
</ul>
Death Notification is mandatory and can be done by:
<ul>
<li>Nearest relatives present at the time of death or last illness.</li>
<li>Other relatives living near the deceased </li>
<li>The person that was there during the death</li>
<li>A person living in the house where the death happened.</li>
<li>Anyone finding or taking charge of the body or causing the body to be buried/disposed of.</li>
</ul>
What information is required when reporting a death?

<li>Cause and place of death</li>
<li>Where the deceased lived</li>
<li>Name of the person reporting (relative)</li>
<li>Death Registration.</li>
</ul>
Once the Registrar receives the original and copy of the death registration form from the relative or the next of kin, the registrar will enter the particulars of the deaths notified to them into the register, and the death certificate is processed.
Late Registration 
This occurs after the expiry of 3 months after a death has happened. The following is how to do late registration.
<ul>
<li>Applicant to obtain a police report/letter from the chief/health institution confirming the death.</li>
<li>Applicant to obtain an affidavit confirming the death.  An affidavit is a written statement confirmed by oath for use as evidence in court</li>
<li>Refugee ID card of deceased if an adult</li>
<li>Refugee ID card of applicant</li>
<li>UNHCR POR (Proof of Registration) of deceased</li>

IFO 2: Social Services- Refugee Consortium of Kenya (RCK)

Malaria is a major health threat in Kakuma Refugee Camp. In the first half of 2023, there were over 23,000 malaria cases and 25 deaths in the camp. Refugees and asylum seekers in camps are more likely to get malaria. This is because many people live closely together, a lot of standing water where mosquitoes breed, and there isn't enough medicine or healthcare workers to adequately take care of the population. They also don’t have money to buy things like bed nets to protect themselves from mosquito bites. 
Organizations such as the International Rescue Committee (IRC) are working to reduce the burden of malaria in Kakuma Refugee Camp by providing access to treatment and prevention measures.
Read this article on malaria symptoms, how to prevent malaria and where to get treatment for malaria in Kakuma Refugee Camp and Kalobeyei Settlement.
 
What causes Malaria?
Malaria is a disease spread by mosquitoes. Mosquitoes get malaria from infected people and spread it to others when they bite. The parasites that cause malaria live in people’s blood.
 
Symptoms of Malaria
Malaria symptoms usually appear within 10 to 15 days after a mosquito bite.
The most common symptoms of malaria include:
<ul>
<li>High fever</li>
<li>Chills</li>
<li>Headache</li>
<li>Muscle aches</li>
<li>Fatigue</li>
<li>Nausea, and vomiting.</li>
</ul>
<img src="https://signpost-kenya.zendesk.com/hc/article_attachments/12955381312157" alt="ENG.png" width="570" height="570">        
If left untreated, malaria can lead to severe complications such as anemia, cerebral malaria, acute liver and or kidney failure, seizure, brain damage, loss of consciousness and even death, particularly in vulnerable populations like pregnant women, children, the elderly and those with other immune suppressing conditions such as HIV/AIDS, lupus, type 1 diabetes, and others.
 
Is Malaria treatable?
Yes, Malaria is treatable and curable. With quick and effective treatment, the infection can be cured, the symptoms can be relieved and the number of people who get sick or die from malaria can be reduced.
If you suspect that you have malaria or showing malaria like symptoms, you should visit any hospital or clinic/dispensary near you for testing and treatment.
You can visit the following health facilities in Kakuma Refugee Camp and Kalobeyei Settlement. Testing and treatment at these facilities are free of charge. Ensure you carry your identity document (Proof of registration/manifest or refugee ID if you are a refugee and national ID for Kenyans) when visiting the health facility.

How can we prevent Malaria transmission?
To stop the spread of malaria, we need to control mosquitoes and help people protect themselves. Here are some key strategies:
<ul>
<li>Sleeping under Insecticide-Treated Nets: This helps to protect one from mosquito bites, especially during sleeping hours.</li>
<li>Indoor Residual Spraying: Regular application of insecticides on the walls and ceilings of shelters reduces the mosquito population and their ability to transmit the disease.</li>
<li>Removing standing water and other breeding sites for mosquitoes within and around residentials areas can help minimize mosquito populations.</li>
<li>Use of insect repellents, wearing long-sleeved clothing, and avoiding outdoor activities during peak mosquito activity (dusk and dawn) can reduce the risk of mosquito bites</li>
</ul>
                      <img src="https://signpost-kenya.zendesk.com/hc/article_attachments/12955373113245" alt="ENG.png" width="652" height="652">
It is important to note that malaria is not contagious and cannot be spread directly from person to person like a common cold or flu. It is spread by mosquitoes. Taking measures to prevent mosquito bites, such as using insect repellent, wearing protective clothing, and sleeping under mosquito nets, can help reduce the risk of contracting malaria.

Dadaab: Information Services- FilmAid Kenya (FAK)

The internet is a great resource for children who use it for schoolwork, entertainment and even socializing. However, the internet can also be a dangerous place with risks such as cyberbullying, easy access to pornographic content, online scams, phishing, catfishing, and privacy issues. As a parent, it is important to take steps to keep your child safe online. In this article, we discuss some tips on how to do that. 
How are children targeted in online spaces? 
Children are targeted on the internet in various ways such as:
<ul>
<li>Phishing emails</li>
<li>Clicking on suspicious links on social media and games</li>
<li>Downloading unverified applications (apps)  </li>
<li>Chatting with strangers</li>
</ul>
Here are some tips for keeping children safe online: 
Eight tips to keep children safe online
<ol>
<li>
Educate children about online safety: Teach children how to avoid cyberbullying, online predators, and scams. Explain how to use privacy settings and keeping personal information safe online, as well as how to recognize phishing attempts and be cautious of online scams. You should also try assisting children in understanding the risks of sharing too much personal information online. </li>
<li>
Set parental controls: Use parental controls to restrict access to inappropriate websites or content. This can include setting up filters on search engines, blocking specific websites, and limiting screen time.
The links below have step-by-step information on how to put up parental controls on different platforms:

</li>
<li>
Monitor child’s online activity: Keep an eye on what children are doing online. Check their social media profiles and messages and be aware of the applications (apps) and games they are using. You can use parental control apps such as the <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.kids.familylink&amp;hl=en_US&amp;pli=1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Google Family Link</a> application to track their online activity.</li>
<li>
Encourage open communication: Create an environment where children feel comfortable talking to you about their online experiences. Encourage them to come to you if they encounter anything that makes them uncomfortable or scared. Additionally, guide them on some useful sites they can access for various needs</li>
<li>
Lead by example: Set a good example for children by practicing safe online behavior yourself. Avoid oversharing personal information online and use strong passwords and two-factor authentication/verification (a security method for managing identities and access that needs two ways to prove you are who you are before you can use the online platform). Read more about how to set up two-factor authentication on Facebook on this link: https://www.facebook.com/help/148233965247823
</li>
<li>
Set clear rules and boundaries: Establish clear rules for internet usage, such as the amount of time spent online, appropriate websites and apps, and the types of content they can access. Monitor their online activities and enforce these rules consistently.</li>
<li>
Stay informed: Keep yourself updated about popular social media platforms, apps, and online trends which can especially have harmful effects on children. This will help you understand the platforms your child is using and allow you to have informed conversations about their online experiences.</li>
<li>
Use search engines made for kids: Encourage children to use child-friendly search engines such as <a href="https://families.google/kidsspace/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Google Kids Space</a> that filter out adult content and other harmful material they should not see. Other child-friendly search engines that you can use include: </li>

</ul>
Practical tips for children if they face any suspicious online activities:
<ol>
<li>Tell a trusted adult immediately suspicious or uncomfortable online behavior or If someone online asks for your personal information like full name, address, phone number, or school details.</li>
<li>Immediately tell a trusted adult or appropriate people who can help you decide what to do if you see or hear images, videos, or messages that make you as a child uncomfortable- such can be a serious matter. </li>
<li>Tell a trusted adult if you are being targeted by online bullies, or experiencing harassment, threats, or insults through messages, comments, or social media posts.  They can provide guidance and take appropriate actions to address the issue.</li>
<li>If someone online attempts to establish an emotional or intimate connection with you, often with the intention of exploiting or manipulating you, it's essential to report it. Examples include an adult attempting to gain your trust, asking for private conversations, asking you to send them your photos or them sending you their especially nudes, makes inappropriate advances or trying to meet you in person.</li>
<li>Be cautious when clicking on links or downloading attachments and apps, as they could contain viruses or other harmful content.</li>

Kakuma: Nutrition – Nationakor Dispensary (Clinic 6-IRC) 

Education is the cornerstone of our society, but what happens when students fall behind and struggle to keep up? Well, the Accelerated Education Program (AEP) is here to save the day! Imagine a world where every student has access to personalized support and resources that help them reach their full potential. That is exactly what AEP provides - a tailored approach to education that gives students a chance to catch up with their studies and thrive.  
In this article, we explain all about the <a href="https://www.nrc.no/countries/africa/kenya/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Norwegian Refugee Council’s (NRC)</a> accelerated education programs in Kakuma and Dadaab refugee camps.
What is Accelerated Education?
The Accelerated Education Program (AEP) is a flexible and age-appropriate educational program that targets disadvantaged, over-aged (older than the age limit recommended for a specific grade/class), out-of-school children and youth who missed or had their education interrupted due to poverty, marginalization, conflict, and crisis. 
The program is designed to provide learners with equivalent, certified competencies for basic education using effective teaching and learning approaches that are appropriate for their ages. 
About NRC AEP in Kakuma and Dadaab refugee camps 
The NRC Accelerated Education Programs in Kakuma and Dadaab refugee camps focus on addressing the educational needs of a specific group called Over-age Out-of-School Children (OOSC), aged 10 to 18 years
These are students who have either never been to school, dropped out before completing primary education, or have in and out of school for a long period due to various challenges such as displacement, conflict, poverty, and marginalization. 
The primary goal of the program is to ensure equal access to education for both girls and boys, with special emphasis on overcoming barriers to girls' education and facilitating enrollment for children with disabilities. The program also prioritizes retention and academic performance.
How does the program work?
The program has condensed the curriculum by compressing primary subjects or using a partial curriculum that focuses on core competencies in basic Literacy and Numeracy skills in both the 8-4-4 and Competence Based Curriculum (CBC).
<ul class="wysiwyg-text-align-justify">
<li>In the 8-4-4 curriculum, the AEP has three levels: Level 1 condenses the curriculum content for grades 1 to 4, Level 2 condenses the content for grades 5 and 6, and Level 3 condenses the content for grades 7 and 8.</li>
<li>Under the CBC, the AEP also has three levels: Level 1 condenses the curriculum content for grades 1 and 2, Level 2 covers the content for grade 3, and Level 3 condenses the content for grades 4 and 5.</li>
</ul>
The program enables learners to eventually reintegrate into formal education at appropriate grade levels (primary or secondary) or transition to other educational pathways like Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET)
Learners who complete each level transition either to formal schooling or to the next level within the AEP, depending on the competencies acquired.
What are the benefits of the program?
<ol class="wysiwyg-text-align-justify">
<li>It allows students to progress at their own pace. This means that students who may have fallen behind in a traditional classroom setting can catch up quickly and get back on track.</li>
<li>The program can allow students to accelerate their learning. Students who are ahead of their peers can enroll in the program to get ahead and challenge themselves further.</li>
<li>It provides a more personalized approach to learning. Teachers work closely with each student to identify their strengths and weaknesses, and then create a curriculum that is tailored to their specific needs. This individualized attention allows students to learn more effectively and at a pace that suits them best.</li>
</ol>
Registration and eligibility for the program
When enrolling learners, NRC takes into consideration their age, literacy levels, previous schooling, and vulnerability criteria.
Below are the eligibility criteria to join the AEP: 
<ul class="wysiwyg-text-align-justify">
<li>Must be between the age of 10 and 18 years</li>
<li>Registered Refugee or asylum seeker with UNHCR manifest or ID card, returnees, new arrivals, youth and children with no proof of registration.</li>
<li>Children/youth from the host communities.</li>
<li>Must have been out of school for two years or more</li>
</ul>
Vulnerability criteria are also taken into consideration while enrolling learners. These include:
<ul class="wysiwyg-text-align-justify">
<li>Young mothers</li>
<li>Child-headed households</li>
<li>Learners with special educational needs</li>
<li>Children who face difficulties in engaging with the education system due to trauma-related symptoms</li>
<li>Children without birth registration documents</li>
<li>Youth and children with disability(s)</li>
</ul>
Once enrollment is done, placement and competency tests are used to assess the new learners and to determine their appropriate level within the AEP or formal schooling. 
Interested children/youth can physically visit any of the below AEP centers in Kakuma and Dadaab refugee camps accompanied by their parents/guardian/relatives, and with a copy of their identification documents such as manifest, refugee ID, national ID for members of the host communities, birth certificate etc.

Are you looking to form a successful self-help group in Kenya? First, you need to have information on the rules of running these groups, know types of groups you can form and guidance on writing a constitution for your group.
Read along to understand the requirements and benefits of registering a self-help group in Kenya. These can also be helpful tips for your group members and your friends who want to start or get more value from their group.
What is a self-help group?
A Self-Help Group (SHG) is formed when a group of people from the same social and economic background come together to create opportunities and to improve their standards of living. The group can help to acquire skills, assets for the community such as schools, health facilities, and roads, and to create income-generating opportunities for members. Groups can engage in businesses such as selling groceries, weaving, tailoring, running retail shops and farming projects such as poultry and dairy keeping. 
What are common characteristics of self-help groups in Kenya?
<ol class="wysiwyg-text-align-justify">
<li>Joining a self-help group is voluntary and FREE.
</li>
<li>You participate in income generating activities and receive loans from the group as a member.  
</li>
<li>Groups have goals that are related to the needs of the members and are known and agreed on by all members.</li>
<li>Members of a group prepare guidelines on how to operate and manage their group.</li>
<li>Group decisions are democratic -The groups’ officials (Chairperson, Vice Chairperson, Secretary, Vice Secretary and Treasurer) are elected regularly by members.</li>
<li>Members have clear roles and contribute by sharing their resources to the group.</li>
</ol>
Types of self-help groups you can register in Kenya.
Members of a SHG are usually from the same social and economic background. Members come together to pool resources and help each other out. All members of a SHG need to share in the group’s mission, vision, and objectives to ensure that the group achieves its desired goals. This makes it easy for the group to achieve its desired goals. 
In Kenya, you can register several types of self-help groups such as:
<ul class="wysiwyg-text-align-justify">
<li>Youth groups</li>
<li>Women groups</li>
<li>Men’s groups</li>
<li>Mixed groups (members are both men and women) </li>
<li>Groups for Persons with Disabilities </li>
<li>Older persons’ groups </li>
<li>Community Project Groups</li>
<li>Integrated Refugee Groups </li>
</ul>
 Why should you register a self-help group?
There are many benefits of registering a SHG. These include:
<ul class="wysiwyg-text-align-justify">
<li>The group will acquire legal status to operate in Kenya.  </li>
<li>The SHG can own properties on behalf of its members. </li>
<li>It helps groups to meet requirements for running a bank account in the group’s name.</li>
<li>Registration helps groups to access credit services such as loans from banks and microfinance institutions. </li>
<li>Members of a SHG are responsible for the group’s financial decisions. </li>
</ul>
Requirements for registering a self-help group in Kenya.
For the government of Kenya to register a group, it must meet these requirements:
<ol class="wysiwyg-text-align-justify">
<li>Have at least ten people (aged 18-years and above) who are actively participating in the group’s activities. </li>
<li>Members should have a common reason for setting up the group.</li>
<li>All members must participate in a pre-registration training held by the Social Development Office (SDO) at the Sub-County level.</li>
<li>Have a constitution prepared by the people in the group.</li>
<li>The group’s name, its mission, goals, and objectives should be in the group constitution.</li>

<li>Have minutes of the meeting at which people in the group agreed to register the group.</li>
<li>Have a list of all the people in the group, signed, with their name/position/Identification Document (ID) number and signatures.</li>

Hagadera: Psycho-Social Support- International Rescue Committee (IRC)

Important Note: In October 2022, the government of Kenya established a taskforce to collect public views on the implementation of the Competency-based Curriculum (CBC) and make recommendations. The collection of public opinions was concluded in November 2022. The government is currently reviewing the findings. Once this process is completed, we will update this article to include the changes that will be made to the curriculum.
Do you want to know what are the requirements, subjects, lessons and examination process of upper primary school? 
The Kenyan education system underwent significant changes with the introduction of the competency-based curriculum (CBC) in December 2017. These changes encompassed modifications in subject matter, examination approaches, and the introduction of new levels. 
The upper primary level, which includes grades 4, 5, and 6, is intended for learners aged between 9 and 11 years who have completed lower primary education. At grade 6, a national examination is administered to measure learners’ proficiency in the subjects taught at this stage.
Additional information on the other stages of CBC are:

<li>Secondary education</li>
<li>Tertiary level education</li>
</ul>
Subjects and lessons for Grades 4, 5 and 6 under the Kenya CBC system
<ul class="wysiwyg-text-align-justify">
<li>At least ten subjects must be taught in upper primary school. </li>
<li>Learners are also expected to choose one foreign language as an extra subject. This can be Arabic, French, German or Mandarin. </li>
<li>Every week, there will be two lessons of the foreign language. </li>
<li>Information Communication Technology (ICT) skills are also taught in every subject.</li>
<li>Teachers also make sure pupils learn basic life skills and other real-life experiences.</li>
</ul>
The subjects that must be taken in Grades 4, 5 and 6 per week are:
<ol class="wysiwyg-text-align-justify">
<li>Four English classes </li>
<li>Four Kiswahili or Kenya Sign Language lessons for people with hearing impairment Three Home Science lessons</li>
<li>Three Agriculture lessons </li>
<li>Four Science and Technology lessons</li>
<li>Five Mathematics lessons </li>
<li>Three Religious Education lessons - Christian, Islamic or Hindu Religious Education</li>
<li>Three Creative Arts lessons </li>
<li>Five Physical and Health Education lessons </li>
<li>Three Social Studies lessons </li>
</ol>
Also, learners will take part in pastoral program instruction (PPI) once in a week to learn about and practice their faith, behavioral and emotional wellbeing with the help of religious institutions and leaders.
Learners with physical disabilities are normally integrated into mainstream classes. Learners with sight and hearing disabilities are taught by trained Special Need Education (SNE) teachers in special schools and their learning material is translated to braille and Kenyan Sign Language (KSL).
CBC learning tools for Grade 4, 5 and 6 pupils.
Learners in upper primary schools will be introduced with different tools while attending different subjects. This help learners to gain practical knowledge on the subjects they study. 
<ul class="wysiwyg-text-align-justify">
<li>Agriculture</li>
</ul>
To learn agriculture practically, teachers will use tools based on the subject’s needs. Common tools learners will be using; hammer, pliers, knife, garden trowel, panga, jembe, slasher, spade, shovel, wheelbarrow, manure fork, fork jembe, tape measure, string, secateurs, pruning saw and watering can are all common tools used to learn agriculture.
<ul class="wysiwyg-text-align-justify">
<li>Creative arts</li>

National CBC examination for learners in sixth grade 
The first ever Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KPSEA) was conducted in November 2022. KPSEA is designed to evaluate each learner’s abilities at grade six, which is the last year in upper primary, before they move on to <a href="https://www.julisha.info/hc/en-us/articles/6969551975965-The-selection-process-for-Junior-Secondary-Schools-subjects-and-education-in-Kenya-" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">junior secondary school education.</a>
Learners take four tests over the course of three days. The tests are administered as Mathematics, English, Kiswahili, and Integrated Science. Home science, agriculture, science and technology, and health are all assessed as Integrated Science.
Learners who need braille, large prints, and Kenya Sign Language can also take the tests with certain adjustments in the duration of the exams. The adjustments are:
<ol class="wysiwyg-text-align-justify">
<li>Mathematics and Mathematics (Large Print) tests take one hour and 20 minutes, while Mathematics (Braille) takes one hour and 50 minutes. </li>
<li>English and English (Large Print), tests take one hour while English (KSL), and English (Braille) take one hour 20 minutes.</li>
<li>Kiswahili and Kenyan Sign Language tests last for 1 hour and Kiswahili (Braille) takes one hour and 20 minutes.</li>
<li>Integrated Science tests take one hour and 40 minutes, and Integrated Science (Large Print) and Integrated Science (Braille) exams take two hours and 10 minutes.</li>
</ol>
Once the results have been made public by the ministry of education, parents and guardians can get the KPSEA results from the pupil’s school. All learners can move on to junior secondary schools no matter how well they did on their upper primary tests.

Procedure for relocation of registered persons to Ifo 2 settlement in Dadaab - all you need to know

How to replace lost or damaged Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) academic certificates 
Education certificates serve as proof that you completed a course of study and allow you to pursue further studies and employment. Loosing or damaging these certificates can cause you to miss a job or an opportunity to further your education.. The Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) certificate, for example, is required for enrollment in tertiary education such as university or college. Moreover, some employers require to submit academic certifications as proof of qualification.  
In this article, we will outline the steps that need to be taken to replace a lost or damaged KNEC academic certificate and provide you with the information you need to ensure a smooth and efficient process.
Types of certificates The Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) issues 
KNEC issues the following academic certificates. 
1. Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) 
This is a certificate that is issued to students who have completed their secondary education (Form 1- Form 4) in Kenya. This certificate is awarded to students after they sit for the nationwide KCSE exams. 
2. Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE)
This is a certificate that is awarded to students who have completed their primary education (Standard 1 – Standard 8) and have sat for their KCPE exams. These exams are an entrance requirement for secondary education. 
3. Certificates of post-secondary education such as Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), business and Teachers Training Certificates (TTC).
Filing an application for academic/KNEC certificate replacement 
KNEC has made replacing lost or damaged certificates a simple process.  
Applications for academic certificates replacement are done through KNEC’s online portal, the <a href="https://qmis.knec.ac.ke/externalLogin" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Query Management Information System (QMIS)</a>.
KNEC will issue you with a Certification of Examination Results letter that acts as a duplicate certificate once your application has been processed and all required documents are verified.
Required documents to submit with your application to replace lost/damaged   KNEC certificates.
1. A copy of the lost certificate or result slips: Result slips are required for all examinations except the KCPE exams from year 1926 to 2012. (KCPE exams result slips from year 2013 obtained from the KNEC website/system are acceptable).
You can obtain a copy of your KNEC result slip from the school where you took your examinations.
2. Legal Affidavit: An affidavit obtained from an advocate of the High Court of Kenya.
3. Registrar of persons confirmation: Confirmation of the applicant’s identification from the registrar of persons. 
To obtain letter of confirmation of identity, go to the office of your County’s Civil Registrar. 
4. Police Abstract: An original police abstract/document indicating that you lost your certificate. 
A police abstract is available at any police station in your area. When you lose or damage your certificate, you should report it to the police.
5. Photocopies of your identity document(s): 
Applicants under the age of 18 will need to have copies of their birth certificates, which should be submitted with a copy of the parent/guardian’s Identification Card (ID) or passport. 
Adults (above the age of 18) will need to have copies of their national or alien Identification Cards (IDs) or Passports  
The name on the identity document must be the same as the name used in the examinations for which the lost certificate was issued.
6. Passport photo in colour.
Note: Those who have legally changed their names must include the legal documents they used to change their name such as a marriage certificate for women or a copy of Gazette notice where the changed name appears.
Steps for applying for a KNEC certificate replacement: 
Step 1: Applications for academic certificates replacement are done through KNEC’s online portal, the <a href="https://qmis.knec.ac.ke/externalLogin" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Query Management Information System (QMIS)</a>. You will be required to log in by entering your username and password if you already have an account. If you don’t have an account, you will be required to create an account to access the portal. Follow the below process to create an account.
<img src="https://signpost-kenya.zendesk.com/hc/article_attachments/9744306595613" alt="QMIS_homepage.png">
A screenshot of the QMIS portal homepage.
Step 2: Create your QMIS user account.
Click on the “Register” button to create a new account. You are required to provide the following information when creating your account:
<ol class="wysiwyg-text-align-justify">
<li>Full name</li>
<li>Mobile number</li>
<li>Postal address</li>
<li>Title/designation such as Mr. Mrs. etc.</li>
<li>Email address.</li>
</ol>
Once you have entered all the above information and confirmed your email address, click on the “Register” button. The QMIS system will then automatically create your account and send your username and password to your email address. 
You can then use your email to get your username and password and login to the QMIS portal.

A screenshot of the information you are required to fill in when registering/creating your account on the QMIS portal. 
 
Step 3: Fill out the online application form and attach the required documents. 
Once logged in to the QMS system, click on the “Lost Certificate” section to open the application form.  Enter your Index number – a unique identifier given to candidates who are registered to sit for a KNEC examination -, Exam, Year and Series (the month when you sat for the examination)  and then click on the “Find” button after which the system will verify your details and provide your full name in the “Name” box.
Attach all the required documents in the attachments section and click on the “Submit” button to send your application.
<img src="https://signpost-kenya.zendesk.com/hc/article_attachments/9744403561245" alt="Online_application_form.png">
A screenshot of the online application form.
Once you submit your application, KNEC will verify your documents and then generate and send you a unique Pay-bill and Account number as an SMS on the mobile phone number you used during registration indicating the total amount to be paid which is Ksh5,220 (inclusive of VAT). 
Proceed to pay via mobile phone-based money transfer service, MPESA and KNEC will start processing your application. The duplicate certificate is processed in fifteen (15) working days.
What happens if application is rejected?
Your application could be unsuccessful if:
<ol class="wysiwyg-text-align-justify">
<li>Details such as your name, name of the school or examination center, the index number in the application are different from those used in the examination.</li>
<li>The application has not met all the requirements.</li>
</ol>
If your application fails to go through, you can reapply by removing the old application and all the attached documents from the portal and then uploading the correct information and missing documents.
Where will you get your certificate?
KNEC will inform you through the contact details you used to register your account once your application has been processed and a duplicate certificate is ready for collection at their offices.
Go to the KNEC office in person with your valid ID or passport to pick up your duplicate certificate. 
Applicants under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or an official guardian. The parent or guardian must show their original ID card and the minor’s original birth certificate. You can learn more about how to get a birth certificate in <a href="https://www.julisha.info/hc/en-us/articles/4404310216087-How-to-obtain-a-genuine-birth-certificate-for-your-child-in-Kenya" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">this</a> article
You can also check the status of your application by login into the KNEC Query Management Information System (QMIS).
Note: If a certificate is not collected after TWO (2) years from the date of application, KNEC will dispose of it without contacting the applicant and will not refund the amount paid.

Kakuma: Healthcare - Amusait General Hospital (The IRC General Hospital) 

Gender-Based Violence (GBV) is violence or any kind of attack on a person because of their gender. Anyone can experience gender-based violence but women and girls are reported to experience GBV the most, <a href="https://www.unwomen.org/en/what-we-do/ending-violence-against-women/facts-and-figures">UN Women reports</a> indicate.
GBV acts can harm a person physically, sexually, and psychologically. It is a sign of underlying gender inequality and challenges with balancing powers among partners.
Although it has been stated that women undergo GBV more frequently than men and boys, anyone can be affected. In this article, we have provided information on the types of GBV, and where a GBV survivor can receive free medical help and legal assistance.

Graphic: What you could do to help end violence against women
The Kenyan Constitution outlines that everyone has fundamental rights, including the right not to go through any form of violence. There are several laws that protect this right, including:

</ul>
There are actions or behaviors that can be categorized as GBV. You will also get to see the difference between different violations such as rape, defilement, incest, and other harmful practices.
Types of gender-based violence
There are at least five common types of GBV. These can affect persons of any gender, race, or age.
<ol class="wysiwyg-text-align-justify">
<li>
Sexual violence - It is the most common form of GBV. It is any completed or attempted sexual act against a person’s will or against a person who is unable to give consent. It includes rape, sexual assault, child sexual abuse (defilement, incest), forced sodomy/anal rape, sexual exploitation, forced prostitution, and sexual harassment.
</li>
<li>
 Physical violence: An act of physical violence that is not sexual in nature. It can include forms of violence or neglectful acts that cause physical pain or injury such as hitting, slapping, choking, burning, strangulation, throwing, biting, hair pulling, cutting or use of any weapons.
</li>
<li>
 Emotional and psychological violence: Infliction of mental or emotional pain or injury perpetrated in a non-physical manner usually by an intimate partner or a person in a position of power to frighten, intimidate, manipulate, hurt, humiliate, or blame through verbal abuse or humiliation, causing fear by intimidation and confinement.
</li>
<li>
 Social or economic violence: This includes violence perpetrated in a non-physical manner (usually by an intimate partner) or laws and policies that prevent access to income/earnings and social opportunities for advancement.
</li>
<li>
 Harmful traditional practices: Acts specific to cultures in which girls and women are severely undervalued, and considered second-class citizens with fewer rights. Practices can include Female Genital Mutilation, early marriage, forced marriage, denial of education and honor killing.
</li>
</ol>
Understanding rape, defilement, and incest: 
Rape, defilement, and incest are all forms of sexual violence. 
Rape is the penetration with genital organs (vagina or penis) to another genital organ (vagina, penis, or anus) without their permission or expression of willingness.
Defilement is the penetration with genital organs (vagina or penis) to the genital organs (vagina, penis, or anus) of a person below the age of 18 years.
Incest is an act that causes penetration to genital organs (vagina or penis) between people who are related for instance father and daughter or cousins to cousins.
Any kind of GBV  negatively affects the survivor’s immediate sexual, physical, and mental health and raises their likelihood of developing other health issues.
All service providers engaged in response to GBV put the rights, needs, and wishes of the survivor first. At all the service points where GBV survivors receive support, their account of what happened is treated as the truth. Always keep it in mind that:
<ul class="wysiwyg-text-align-justify">
<li>It is not a survivor’s mistake that leads to a GBV incident such as rape.</li>
<li>It is positive to talk to someone about the incident.</li>
<li>GBV response workers listen to a survivor and take what they say seriously</li>
<li>A survivor shall not be blamed for what happened to them.</li>
<li>A survivor is allowed to make decisions.</li>
<li>GBV workers help plan for a survivor’s safety.</li>
<li>When seeking help, your privacy shall be respected.</li>
<li>One shall be informed of all the available options for services, and the benefits and potential consequences of accessing them.</li>
</ul>
How to support a survivor of GBV. 
1. Listen to, believe and support survivors
When a survivor shares their story with you, it is important that you believe. This establishes trust and gives the survivor the confidence to open up to you. 
Avoid “victim-blaming” and the idea that the survivor should have avoided dangerous situations. 
For example; do not ask the survivor how they were dressed. Instead, use phrases such as:
‘I believe you, ‘What happened was not your fault and ‘How can I support you.
2. Treat any information shared with you with confidentiality. 
If you need guidance on how best to support the survivor, ask for their permission before consulting a specialist, or a friend. When consulting, avoid sharing information that might reveal the identity of the survivor. 
3. Share information about services that might be available to support the survivor. 
Do not pressure the survivor to take any action but instead respect their rights to make their own decisions. 
4. Ask what practical support you can provide
This includes providing them with a place to stay, accompanying them to the police station or to the hospital, helping them to find professional assistance (eg a counselor or GBV support center), or lending them your phone so they can contact someone that they trust. 
5. Follow up
Check-in on the survivor after they have shared their story with you. This will remind them that you care about them and that you believe them.
