About my site

International Centre for Reproductive Health- Kenya is a non-governmental organization implementing high-quality sexual and reproductive health (SRH) programs. Through collaboration and experiences, ICRHK has established robust and efficient systems for programmatic and financial management of donor funding. Our vision is to be a Centre of Excellence in SRH research and interventions, and the mission is to contribute to empowering communities by designing innovative, evidence-based interventions, and using these to influence policy. The staff are experienced in program design and implementation and carrying out field large-scale community interventions for behavior change in high-risk groups. The teams are multidisciplinary composed of researchers, clinical teams and the social scientists. Our interventions are based on the best available scientific evidence which are critically monitored by scientists. Both the research and the interventions undertaken are shared and embedded in continuous dialogues and feedback with the communities concerned. Paul has been a site coordinator since January 2020. Participants are selected for the various courses from within the organization senior management team, program staff, admin staff and our key stakeholders in various thematic areas.
