African Social Impact Bonds

Kenya

In their Hands

What

The world’s first Development Impact Bond with a focus on adolescent sexual and reproductive health - the programme’s main goal is to connect adolescent girls to sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services. It is expected that the uptake of SRH services will reduce the incidence of unintended pregnancies in Kenyan teen girls.

Outcomes

  • Short-term outcome. Sexual and reproductive health services (SRH) uptake.
  • Intermediate-term outcome. Contraceptive prevalence rate.
  • Long-term outcome. Adolescent birth rate. This outcome is not measured during the life of the impact bond (2020-2022).
