1. General information
a. Brief information on the project
The German Cooperative and Raiffeisen Confederation (DGRV), whose headquarter is in Berlin,
Germany, is the national apex organization of the cooperative sector in Germany. In Kenya, DGRV is
registered as German Kenyan Cooperative Development (GKCD), a non-governmental organization
which, through support from German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development
(BMZ), is promoting co-operative structures in East Africa as a contribution to strengthening rural
regions.
One of the core objects of DGRV’s project in Kenya is to introduce innovations to the co-operative
sector. One of such innovation is the introduction of a “healthcare Workers Co-operative” in Kenya as
recommended by our field study on “Health Cooperatives in Kenya”. DGRV/GKCD together with the
County Government of Nyeri, one of its project partners has initiated an initiative to introduce a
Healthcare Workers Co-operative, for the first time, in Kenya.
b. Context

structures in the Country and contribute to universal health coverage. The new Healthcare Workers
Co-operative will focus on:

• Health services will be quality and accessible at competitive, and reasonable cost (Out-OfPocket or/and Health Insurance).
• Level 2 clinic or dispensary shall be established in urban part of Nyeri County.
In this model of a cooperative, the members will be the workers who will be offering health services in
a level 2 facility (Clinic/Dispensary). The current membership of the new co-operative will stand at 10
