Abstract

This report summarizes the findings of the 2003 Kenya Demographic and Health Survey (2003 KDHS), carried out by the Kenya Central Bureau of Statistics in partnership with the Ministry of Health and the National Council for Population and Development. ORC Macro provided technical assistance for the survey through the USAID-funded MEASURE DHS+ programme, which is designed to assist developing countries to collect data on fertility, family planning and maternal and child health. Additional funding for the KDHS was received from the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), the Department for International Development (DFID/U.K.), the Government of Japan through a fund managed by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
