  • Project Title: Roll-out of Adolescents Universal Health Scheme in Kenya and Implications for their Access and Use of Sexual and Reproductive Health Services

    The research focused on the 'Roll-out of Adolescents Universal Health Scheme (Eduafya) in Kenya and Implications for their Access and Use of Sexual and Reproductive Health Services.' The research sought to investigate whether the roll-out of adolescents’ universal health scheme (under the National Hospital Insurance Fund - NHIF) has enhanced access to and use of adolescent-friendly and focused services (preventive, age, gender and need-specific) in Kenya. Further, the study identified barriers and emerging gaps (policy, facility-level, societal, gender etc.) that promote or hinder adolescents’ interaction, access and consistent use of sexual and reproductive health services. The research focused on diverse populations of adolescents, parents and guardians, health care providers, school heads, and the NHIF adolescents’ scheme managers.
