The Addressing Neglected Areas of Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights in Sub-Saharan Africa (ANeSA) Initiative

Surveillance and Epidemiologic Evaluation of COVID-19 in Kenya (SEECK)

The burden of COVID-19 at population level is not known and prevention interventions are not fully supported by evidence. This project seeks to answer the question of: what proportion of the general population has been exposed to SARS-CoV-2 before? The study is being conducted in the Nairobi Urban Health and Demographic Surveillance System (NUHDSS) area (Korogocho and Viwandani informal settlements) on the outskirts of Nairobi City. Similar studies are being implemented in Kisumu and Kilifi by other research teams within the wider consortium.
