## Executive GIST (TL;DR)
- Hand hygiene is an effective measure to prevent infectious disease but requires an enabling environment that includes access to products and services, policy clarity, financing, monitoring, and coordination. - This study applied the **Health Policy Triangle** framework to map Kenya's national hand hygiene policy landscape by analysing context, content, process, and actors. - Primary data came from 11 Key Informant Interviews (KIIs) with strategic stakeholders involved in policy development, implementation, regulation, and programme delivery. - Secondary data comprised a comprehensive review of 20 policy instruments: national policies, strategies, protocols, roadmaps, and legally binding documents. - Policy formulation in Kenya occurs at the national level with implementation devolved to County governments, and both state and non-state actors contribute to the hand hygiene environment. - Kenya does not have a standalone national hand hygiene policy document; instead, hand hygiene provisions are dispersed across documents addressing rural areas, schools, health facilities, and other settings, indicating a fragmented policy presence. - Major governance and operational barriers identified include weak inter-sectoral coordination mechanisms, inadequate and non-dedicated financing, and lack of standardized data for planning and accountability. - Fragmentation across policy and governance structures undermines sustainability and coherent implementation of hand hygiene interventions at national and County levels. - The authors recommend establishing explicit national **hand hygiene** standards with clear definitions and minimum requirements, securing dedicated and sustainable financing, strengthening national–County coordination, and integrating standardized hand hygiene indicators into national and sub-national health information systems. - These reforms aim to enable coherent governance, evidence-informed planning, effective monitoring, and accountability for hand hygiene practice and service provision in Kenya.

Sustained hand hygiene practice requires an enabling environment that constitutes access to hand hygiene products and services, clear and effective policy provisions, financing, monitoring, and coordination mechanisms. This paper analyses Kenya's national hand hygiene policy landscape and identifies the underlying governance barriers and systemic opportunities for strengthening hand hygiene policy and practice in Kenya. Guided by the Health Policy Triangle (HPT) framework, this study systematically examined the context, content, process, and actors shaping Kenya's hand hygiene policy landscape. Primary data was collected through Key Informant Interviews (KIIs) with 11 strategic stakeholders involved in policy development, implementation, regulation, and programme delivery. Secondary data was through a comprehensive review of 20 policy instruments, including national policies, strategies, protocols, roadmaps, and binding legal documents. In Kenya, policies are formulated at the national level and devolved to the County level for implementation, with support from state and non-state actors. The analysis showed that Kenya lacks a standalone, hand hygiene policy document. However, hand hygiene provisions are present in policy documents which cover hand hygiene in several settings such as rural areas, schools, and health facilities. This reflects fragmented policy presence rather than complete absence. Barriers hindering effective implementation include weak inter-sectoral coordinating mechanisms, inadequate financing, and a lack of data. These gaps create governance and operational fragmentation, undermining the sustainability of hand hygiene interventions. To transition to an enabling environment, Kenya should establish explicit national hand hygiene standards with clear definitions and minimum requirements, secure dedicated, and sustainable financing mechanisms, ensure national-County coordination, and integrate standardized hand hygiene indicators into the national and sub-national health information systems. These reforms will support more coherent governance, evidence-informed planning, and accountability for hand hygiene implementation. **Keywords:** Kenya; guidelines; hand hygiene; health; health policy triangle; policy; strategy. © The Author(s) 2026.
