Sources of Family Planning: Kenya

More than one-third of modern contraceptive users in Kenya obtain their method from the private sector.

This brief presents a secondary analysis of the 2014 Kenya Demographic and Health Survey to describe where modern contraceptive users obtain their method and to examine the contribution of the private sector to family planning.
