The project has supported to scale up the national KP programme across 47 Counties by reaching more than
170,000 (FSWs) | 40,000 (MSM) | 18,000(PWID)
Condom and needle syringe distribution to KPs expanded with the improvement in condom use and new needle- syringe use among KPs. The opioid substitution therapy programme also expanded with the 26% of the PWID population on the therapy. The project facilitated the strengthening of the national KP programme of Kenya which is now a global good practice.
