A Research-to-Impact Institution

Population Council Kenya is a Nairobi-based, locally rooted research organization with a regional mandate across sub-Saharan Africa. As part of the global Population Council network, we specialize in generating rigorous, context-relevant evidence to address complex health and development challenges affecting underserved populations. Our work is anchored in a research-to-impact model that integrates epidemiological, behavioural, and health systems research with active engagement in both policy and program design, implementation, and scale-up.
