Introduction: Male involvement is associated with improved maternal and newborn outcomes as they play a vital role in decision making in health seeking.
 Objective: To determine the influence of husbands’ accompaniment to the antenatal clinic on maternal knowledge of neonatal danger signs (NDS) after nurses’ capacity building.
 Study design: A quasi experimental study.
 Method: Eight health facilities were selected at random among facilities in Nakuru County. Mothers attending well baby clinics with children <1 year were interviewed using structured questionnaires. Analysis was done using the SPSS software (version 23).
 Results: Two different cohorts of 414 mothers each were interviewed at baseline and at the end with 176 (42.5%) and 200 (48.3%) of mothers respectively being accompanied by husbands for antenatal clinic. At baseline they were likely to identify inability to breastfeed, convulsions and hypothermia as NDS and these were statistically significant with p <0.004, P< 0.003 and P< 0.033 respectively. Identification of more 3 NDS increased from 37 (21%) at baseline to 99 (49.5%) with all mentioning at least one NDS at the end point.
 Conclusion: Male partner accompaniment to antenatal care was found to have a positive correlation to maternal knowledge of NDS with nurses’ capacity building playing a big role.
