🚀 From Compliance to Real Impact – NACADA is shifting the paradigm! At the 3rd Annual Regulatory Authorities & Agencies (RAAs) Conference 2026 in Kitui County, our CEO, @omerikwa, delivered a powerful presentation titled “From Compliance to Impact.” 🎯 His key message? Moving beyond box-ticking regulations to measuring real-world outcomes of our programmes. How do we know if policies are truly saving lives? That’s the new benchmark. 💡 Great regulation isn’t just about rules – it’s about results. #NACADA #FromComplianceToImpact #RAAsConference2026 #SubstanceUsePrevention #RegulatoryImpact #DrAnthonyOmerikwa #KituiCounty 👇 What’s your take on impact-driven regulation?
