Our Work
Our thematic areas bring together research, programmes, and partnerships focused on the issues that matter most to people and communities across Kenya and the region.
Expanding sexual health and reproductive choices for all people
Every person deserves the knowledge, services, and freedom to make their own decisions about their body and their future.
Population Council Kenya generates the evidence that shapes national family planning policy and the reality of care in a clinic queue. Our research spans contraceptive access, maternal and postpartum health, and the reproductive rights of people too often left out of the conversation. Working alongside the Ministry of Health and county health departments, we turn findings into services that reach women where they are — from Nairobi's estates to the arid counties of the north.
Empowering young people to thrive
Kenya is young. What its adolescents learn, earn, and withstand today decides the country's next thirty years.
We build and test the programs that give young people — girls especially — a fair shot: safe spaces, mentorship, financial capability, and the resilience to weather climate and economic shocks. From the Adolescent Girls Empowerment Program in the north to DREAMS in the informal settlements, our evaluations show what actually moves the needle, so that governments and partners invest in what works rather than what sounds good.
