WHO WE ARE
Kenya Tsetse and Trypanosomiasis Eradication Council (KENTTEC) is a state corporation that was gazetted in July 2012 by the Government of Kenya as a successor to the Pan-African Tsetse and Trypanosomiasis Eradication Campaign (PATTEC). The council’s mandate is to eradicate tsetse flies and Trypanosomiasis from Kenya.
WHAT WE DO
To safeguard the PATTEC achievements the government established the Kenya Tsetse and Trypanosomiasis Eradication Council (KENTTEC)whose mandate is to coordinate eradication of tsetse in the country, set standards and mitigate the socio-economic constraints brought by T&T infestation and assume the role previously undertaken by PATTEC.
WHERE WE WORK

The objective was to to create sustainable tsetse-and- trypanosomosis-free areas by integrating suppression, control and eradication approaches while ensuring the reclaimed areas are sustainably, equitably and economically exploited.
