Investment Case for the Transformative Results in Kenya

The investment case emanates from commitments made by Kenya at the International Conference for Population and Development (ICPD25) as well as its commitment to the attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by year 2030. While Kenya made several commitments at the ICPD25 conference, the investment case presented here focuses on the three transformative results set forth by the United Nation Population Fund, (UNFPA) namely, zero unmet need for family planning, zero preventable maternal deaths and zero gender-based violence and all other harmful practices including Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) and early or child marriage. The investment cases are premised on the logic that the costs of achieving the three zeros in the transformative results are quantifiable and that over time the benefits will exceed the costs incurred. The investment case offers an opportunity for Kenya to prioritize high impact and cost-effective interventions that are required to accelerate progress towards achievement of the transformative results committed to by the UNFPA and partners.
