Our work in Kenya

Tiko has been operating in Kenya since 2016. As our flagship country programme, Kenya holds Tiko’s most extensive operation.

Our work focuses on increasing access to sexual and reproductive health services across 17 counties in Kenya. Since 2021, we have expanded our service offering to include access to HIV testing, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), antiretroviral therapy (ART) and mental health services. 

Tiko partners with both national and regional governments and an array of different partners to implement operations within Kenya. We are implementing partners for the Government of Kenya on the Vijana Vuka Na Afya (VIVA) program, which works across several counties to increase access to SRH products and services, while providing life and technical skills training opportunities for young people. Tiko was also the implementing partner for the world’s first Development Impact Bond (DIB) for adolescent sexual and reproductive health, which has been extended as part of a second Bond. The DIB works with the Government of Kenya and various outcomes funders and an investor to reduce new HIV infections, AIDS-related deaths and teenage pregnancies among adolescent girls aged 15 to 19 in ten high-burden counties in Kenya.
