What We Found
Supply is the primary challenge
Kenya’s greatest barrier is inconsistent procurement rather than lack of community interest.
Training has declined
Reduced provider confidence has weakened correct demonstration and increased misinformation.
Donor transition exposed vulnerability
Dependence on external procurement has created instability following reductions in donor funding.
Community systems remain strong
Civil society organisations retain the knowledge and relationships needed to rapidly rebuild FC2 programming.
Why This Matters
Kenya has the institutions, expertise and community networks required to restore FC2 access. The immediate challenge is rebuilding predictable procurement while restoring provider confidence and community visibility.
Advocacy Priorities
Domestic procurement
Provider training
Community investment
Better monitoring
Integration into HIV services
Women’s choice and autonomy
