East Africa
Building on the Success of Tupange
Jhpiego is the Initiative’s implementing partner for the East Africa hub. From 2010 -2015, with funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Jhpiego-led Tupange Urban Reproductive Health Initiative (URHI) Project addressed urban family planning supply and demand side interventions as well as advocacy in five urban cities of Kenya. These efforts contributed to unprecedented improvements in the contraceptive prevalence rate (CPR) of these cities from 45% to 58% over the project implementation period (MLE, Tupange, 2014). TCI works with local governments in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania to scale up family planning and reach additional women and girls with voluntary family planning services. TCI is a groundbreaking demand-driven model that ensures quality reproductive health services are expanded to more women and girls by scaling up successfully tested URHI innovations and related best practices.
