PartnersPopulation Councilhttp://www.popcouncil.org/africa/kenya.html The Population Council has worked in Kenya since the 1960s when it helped to develop the country’s first population policy and program. During the following two decades, the Council provided support to the University of Nairobi and Kenya’s national family planning program. In 1988, the Council established a regional office for East and Southern Africa in Nairobi. Today the Nairobi office, although no longer a regional office, is the largest Council office in sub-Saharan Africa, supporting work on HIV and AIDS, reproductive health, gender, and youth in Ethiopia, Kenya, Lesotho, Malawi, Rwanda, Senegal, Swaziland, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
