Population Council

Overview

Watch a video about the Population Council's research and programs in Kenya.

The Population Council has worked in Kenya since the 1960s when it helped to develop the country's first population policy and program. During the following two decades, the Council provided support to the University of Nairobi and Kenya’s national family planning program. In 1988, the Council established what is now its largest office in sub-Saharan Africa, supporting work in Ethiopia, Kenya, Lesotho, Malawi, Rwanda, Senegal, Somalia, Swaziland, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.

Program focus

Until the early 1990s, the Council concentrated on capacity building, fertility reduction, and contraceptive technologies. Since 1994, the Council has assisted Kenya in implementing a broader population policy based on recommendations of the International Conference on Population and Development. It has collaborated with Kenya's Ministry of Education, Ministry of Social Welfare, and NGOs involved in human rights, poverty alleviation, and social and gender equality. The AIDS pandemic prompted the Council to carry out research and interventions to reduce the transmission of HIV, highlight the particular vulnerability of young women, and mitigate the impact of HIV and AIDS on individuals, families, and society.

The Council’s vision over the coming years is to intensify its efforts to build the capacity of national partners; increase attention to cross-cutting issues of gender, sexuality, and health-related rights; strengthen healthcare systems; and improve reproductive health and the lives of vulnerable groups, especially adolescents.

Highlights of past and present work

Developed a health-facility-assessment methodology, termed "situation analysis," which was used in many countries and has subsequently been adapted by many organizations.
Developed the first family planning (FP) service-delivery guidelines, as well as the first policy guidance for community-based services.
Designed and tested innovative approaches to integrate services for reproductive health (RH), including FP, reproductive tract infections, STIs, postabortion care, antenatal care, postnatal care, and female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C).
