Integrating Population, Health, and Environment for Sustainable Development in Kenya

, , , , , ,

This ENGAGE presentation highlights many of Kenya’s development successes, including the national climate change strategy and national population policy. Breaking down complex concepts and using nontechnical language, the presentation shows the connections between people’s access to family planning and reproductive health (FP/RH) information and services, their health, and their reliance on natural resources. The presentation connects the impacts of FP/RH access for households, communities, and the country, drawing on examples of successful PHE efforts in Kenya. Stakeholders from diverse sectors within Kenya can use this resource to promote a policy dialogue about the critical role of population dynamics with health and the environment, and the ways that investments in FP/RH can propel progress towards Kenya’s many development goals.

Available in English and Kiswahili.

Working Together: Population, Health, and Environment in Madagascar

, ,

As part of JSI’s Population, Health, and Environment (PHE) Integration Activity, policymakers and program implementers learned how community members perceive and participate in community-based health services. JSI, in collaboration with a local NGO Ny Tanintsika, used the partnership model to introduce communities to high impact approaches that can support income generation activities to reduce human pressure on the forest corridor and water. This video provides beautiful footage and scenery of the forest corridor of Fandriana Vondrozo in Madagascar and the interviews and perspectives from the community members in the village of Ambilo. The video is in Malagasy with English subtitles.

Community of Hope: A Look at Pathfinder International’s HoPE-LVB Project

, ,

The Health of People and Environment in the Lake Victoria Basin (HoPE-LVB) project uses an integrated Population, Health, and Environment (PHE) approach with island and coastal communities in Kenya and Uganda. The project, managed by Pathfinder International and local partners, works to ensure that community members can access voluntary family planning and reproductive health services while also managing their natural resources in a way that safeguards their future. This video highlights the project and its activities – including how they aligned their program design with several of the High Impact Practices (HIPs) in Family Planning such as Community Health Workers, Community Group Engagement, and Policy. The video includes beautiful photography and footage of the Lake Victoria Basin region and has excerpts of community members describing the HIPs being used in the project.
