Abstract:
It is vital to understand the role and the relationship of
various stakeholders in the process of policymaking as their input
and the implementation of such policy largely depends on them.
This paper sets to unearth the role and relationship of various
stakeholders in health policies in Kenya. The paper was guided by
the following objectives: to examine the role of stakeholders in
health policies and to find out the importance of relationship
among the stakeholders in the process of policies implementation.
The research adopted a qualitative design approach to arrive at its
logical conclusion. The paper found that each stakeholder has a
role to play for the success of policy making and implementation
and there should be a good relationship among stakeholders for
the success of policy implementation. The paper finally
recommends that illiteracy among stakeholder’s especially local
communities poses a great challenge towards policy making
process and implementation.
