Funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and implemented by ICRHK in partnership with the Ministry of Health, the National Council for Population and Development (NCPD), and the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS), in collaboration with the University of Nairobi, Moi University, Technical University of Mombasa, and Jaramogi Oginga Odinga University of Science and Technology, the PMA2020/Kenya Nutrition Project expanded the PMA platform to include nutrition indicators alongside family planning and WASH data.

Conducted in 11 counties—Bungoma, Kakamega, Kericho, Kiambu, Kilifi, Kitui, Nairobi, Nandi, Nyamira, Siaya, and West Pokot—the project used household and facility surveys to generate dynamic panel and cross-sectional data, advancing programmatically relevant knowledge on nutrition, family planning, and reproductive health dynamics.

Impact
Through this project, ICRHK and partners:

• Collected high-quality, actionable data linking nutrition with family planning and reproductive health outcomes.
• Strengthened national capacity to integrate nutrition indicators into routine monitoring and decision-making systems.
• Enhanced Kenya’s evidence base for improving maternal, newborn, and child nutrition through a sustainable, innovation-driven data platform.
