Collaborating to Close the Contraceptive Gap in Kenya
In Kenya, the unmet need for contraception is high: less than half of Kenya’s married couples use modern contraceptive methods. In collaboration with national and county governments, PS Kenya’s reproductive health programming provides access to, creates demand for and improves service delivery of contraception within the context of informed choice, aiming to increase contraceptive use (both long and short-term contraceptive methods) through social marketing, communication campaigns and community interventions. Recognizing the important role that pharmacies, clinics and providers play in sustaining healthcare, programs focus on improving health workers’ knowledge, skills, and motivation for providing quality reproductive health services.
In addition, PS Kenya reaches youth and women of reproductive age through generic sexual and reproductive health campaigns and builds the capacity of pharmacists and Tunza franchise health providers to counsel clients on all contraceptive methods to address barriers to supply.
