In response to a growing cancer burden and need for improved coordination among stakeholders in Kenya, the US National Cancer Institute and the Kenya Ministry of Health collaboratively hosted a stakeholder meeting in 2014 which identified four priority areas of need (research capacity building, pathology and cancer registries, cancer awareness and education, and health system strengthening) and developed corresponding action plans.
Surveys were conducted with participants to collect input on the progress and impact of the 2014 stakeholder meeting.
Of 69 eligible participants, 45 responded from academia, healthcare institutions, civil society, government, and international agencies. Of the four technical focus areas, three have continued to conduct working group meetings and two have conducted in-person meetings to review and update their respective action plans. Accomplishments linked to or enhanced by t meeting include: Kenyan and international support for expansion of population-based cancer registries, increased availability of prioritized diagnostic tests in selected regional referral hospitals, a greater focus on development of a national cancer research agenda, strategic planning for a community education strategy for cancer awareness, and improved coordination of partners through in-country technical assistance.
The Stakeholder Program has successfully united individuals and organizations to improve cancer control planning in Kenya, and has enhanced existing efforts and programs across the country. This model of partners working in parallel on prioritized track activities has supported development of long term coordination of cancer research and control activities sustainable by the Kenyan government and Kenyan institutions.
为应对肯尼亚日益增长的癌症负担以及利益相关者之间加强协调的需求，美国国立癌症研究所和肯尼亚卫生部于2014年联合主办了一次利益相关者会议，确定了四个优先需求领域（研究能力建设、病理学和癌症登记、癌症意识与教育以及卫生系统强化）并制定了相应的行动计划。
对参与者进行了调查，以收集有关2014年利益相关者会议进展和影响的意见。
在69名符合条件的参与者中，有45名来自学术界、医疗机构、民间社会、政府和国际机构并做出了回应。在四个技术重点领域中，有三个继续召开工作组会议，两个召开了面对面会议以审查和更新各自的行动计划。与该会议相关或因该会议而得到加强的成果包括：肯尼亚和国际社会对扩大基于人群的癌症登记的支持、选定的区域转诊医院中优先诊断检测的可及性增加、更加注重制定国家癌症研究议程、为提高癌症意识的社区教育战略进行战略规划以及通过国内技术援助改善合作伙伴之间的协调。
利益相关者计划成功地将个人和组织联合起来，以改善肯尼亚的癌症控制规划，并加强了该国现有的努力和计划。这种合作伙伴在优先跟踪活动上并行工作的模式支持了肯尼亚政府和肯尼亚机构可持续开展的癌症研究与控制活动的长期协调发展。
