In 2018, the Full Access, Full Choice project convened key family planning stakeholders, from government and nongovernmental organizations, to identify key county-specific program priorities and evidence gaps around adolescent and youth use of a full range of family planning methods. In August 2019, the project undertook qualitative in-depth interviews with 32 female youth ages 18-24 years in Nairobi, Mombasa, and Migori, to better understand factors that affect their ability to have full access and choice on contraception.
This brief is in response to a learning agenda that was developed and informed by a set of study questions advanced by stakeholders from the public sector and nongovernmental organizations in Nairobi County. Data from the study is provided alongside quantitative data from other large-scale surveys in Kenya including the Kenya Demographic and Health Survey (KDHS) (2014), Shujaaz Inc’s annual surveys (2018, 2019) and the PMA Agile Youth Respondent-Driven Sample Survey (YRDSS) 2019 study.
Full Access, Full Choice is four-year, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) supported project, implemented by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Carolina Population Center and the African Institute for Development Policy (AFIDEP). The project will generate and synthesize evidence to inform programs and policies to expand contraceptive method choice for youth aged 15-24 at the global and country levels.
