GFF Assessment Report

In 2021, the Organization of African Youth (OAY) conducted a rapid assessment on the barriers to AYSRHR in Kenya. This assessment reviewed the Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn, Child, and Adolescent Health plus Nutrition (RMNCAH-N) investment framework and associated policies, their implementation, and effect on access and delivery of AYSRH services, information, and products at the national level as well as in Nairobi and Kisumu counties. The aim of the assessment was to generate evidence on existing barriers to AYSRH services, including the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on access to SRH services, products, and information.
