This Agency is charged with the following responsibilities:

1. Anti – Doping Information Sharing to the athletes, athletes support personnel and the public: –

It involves sensitization and awareness campaigns in form of outreach programs during sports competitions as well as conducting deliberate workshops to share anti-doping information with key target groups

2. Anti-Doping Values-Based Education: –

Values-based programs are organized to instill values as embedded by the ‘spirit of sport’ to children under 16 years. The Agency has partnered with Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD) to ensure that values-based education is entrenched into both primary and secondary schools’ curricula.

Values-Based education deals with prevention more than deterrence in doping.

Research on anti-doping assists the Agency to strategically address and curb issues that propagate doping in sports. In order to fulfill the above, ADAK initially trained thirty (30) educators to assist in reaching out to the key stakeholders.

Currently the Agency partnered with Anti-Doping Norway to retrain, refresh and enhance presentation skills to twenty (20) educators who work on voluntary basis to sensitize and share anti-doping information with the key stakeholders.

Since inception of the Agency to date a total of 38,749 sports persons have been reached through anti-doping information sharing, values-based education and awareness campaigns.
