Assessment of Family Planning Services in Kenya: Evidence from the 2004 Kenya Service Provision Assessment Survey

Abstract

The Kenya Working Papers series is an unreviewed, unedited prepublication series of papers reporting on studies in progress. This paper is based on further analysis of data collected in the 2004 Kenya HIV/AIDS and Maternal and Child Health Service Provision Assessment (KSPA). The 2004 KSPA was supported by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), and the U.K. Department for International Development (DFID). It was implemented by the Kenya National Coordinating Agency for Population and Development (NCAPD), the Ministry of Health (MOH), and the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS). Additional funding for the development of these papers was provided by the USAID, President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), and UNICEF, which took place under the auspices of NCAPD. The MEASURE DHS program at Macro International Inc., Calverton, Maryland, USA provided technical support for the main survey and for the preparation of these papers. The views expressed in this paper are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent the views of the Government of Kenya, NCAPD, USAID, UNICEF, DFID, or the organizations with which the authors are affiliated.
