More than 4 million women have adopted a family planning method of choice in Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania. Jhpiego-led projects have expanded access in these countries by helping counties institutionalize high-impact family planning interventions, reaching over 492,000 new users, reducing teen pregnancies by 6%, and mobilizing more than KES 155 million in local government funding for sustainability.
The Accelerating Post-pregnancy Integration into Primary Healthcare (APIP) Project aims to increase contraceptive use among postpartum and post-abortion women in the first year after pregnancy.
Focusing on public facilities in Isiolo, Makueni, Kwale, and Kakamega counties, APIP collaborates with private facilities and strengthens county leadership to expand family planning services nationwide.
Efforts include advocating for dedicated funding, building provider capacity through training and mentorship, engaging community health volunteers, and promoting uptake through outreach and quality improvement initiatives.
