An Assessment of the Policy and Programmatic Evolution of the Community-Based Distribution of Family Planning Program in Kenya and Prospects for its Sustainability Abstract:

In order to gain insights into the evolution of policies that govern the community health worker (CHW) program in Kenya, this study explores several research questions that are grouped under five thematic areas: policies, policy implications, outcomes, sustainability, and external lessons/knowledge sharing. The study uses a triangulation of methods to address these questions, namely, (1) literature review and review of policy and program documents, (2) key informant interviews, and (3) analysis of Kenya Demographic Health Survey data.
