Reducing inequalities in access to and use of family planning commodities
The Delivering Equitable and Sustainable Increases in Family Planning (DESIP) programme ensured more people had access to and used family planning services across 19 counties in Kenya.
Its aim was to reduce inequalities to accessing family planning by ensuring availability of and demand for family planning commodities through the sustainable involvement of the private and public sectors.
The DESIP consortium was led by Population Services Kenya and includes African Medical and Research Foundation, Health Right Kenya, Faith2Action, Population Services International, Voluntary Service Overseas Kenya and Options.
We led on increasing national ownership and sustainability of family planning by strengthening government stewardship and ensuring that commitments are delivered at both national and county level.
The 19 counties in which the programme worked were divided into five clusters and from each cluster one county was selected as a ‘learning lab county’. This innovative ‘learning lab’ approach supported our partners to scale up interventions that had proven to be successful.
By the end of the programme, the aim was for national and sub-national governments to have invested enough in family planning to deliver on their commitments, and for policies to be in place to ensure lasting change.
At national level and within the five learning lab counties, our work focused on:
