Open International Tender(OIT): Supply and Delivery of Sterile Needles and Syringe (NSP KIT 1 & 2)

The Kenya Red Cross Society (KRCS] was established in 1965 by an Act of Parliament (Chapter 256 Laws of Kenya] as a voluntary aid Society, auxiliary to the national and county governments. Its vision is to be the most effective, most trusted and self-sustaining humanitarian organization in the country. KRCS was appointed by the Kenya Country Coordinating Mechanism [KCM] as the Civil Society Principal Recipient [PR] to manage resources under the Country’s Global Fund HIV Grant implemented through selected Sub Recipients [SRs].

Through the Grant, KRCS is implementing a Needle and Syringe Programme (NSP], which is a high impact and evidence-based harm reduction strategy that has the potential of reducing new HIV infections among People Who Inject Drugs [PWlDs].
