How fair are public finance decisions for children?

Today, Kenya, along with the rest of the Horn of Africa, is experiencing one of the worst droughts in 40 years. Over 4.35 million Kenyans are going hungry while over 942,000 children require urgent treatment for acute malnutrition. One of the main causes of this unprecedented two-year drought is climate change, which has generated a lot of debate at the ongoing COP 27 summit, with climate change adaptation being one of the key highlights of this year’s discussions. Climate change is a long-term threat to food security and nutrition; it reduces crop yields, impairs nutrient quality and dietary diversity, and disrupts water and sanitation. Save the Children’s recent Generation Hope report shows that 774 million children in the world are exposed to high climate risks. It found that over 100 billion dollars could be saved every year responding to disasters if contingency planning, social protection and financial inclusion were improved.

In the remote plains of Turkana, Kenya, Charles Ekale, a dedicated Community Health Promoter trained by Save the Children, walks long distances in harsh conditions to provide life-saving care to children suffering from malnutrition and disease. Operating drop-in clinics under trees and visiting distant homes, Charles uses simple tools like the MUAC tape and rapid diagnostic kits to treat children like 18-month-old Ereng, who recovered from moderate acute malnutrition under his care. Despite challenges like extreme heat and lack of transport, Charles remains a vital health lifeline in a region where drought and distance make access to healthcare nearly impossible.
