The government has been urged to seek local funding to implement its Population Policy on early marriages, female genital mutilation (FGM), maternal mortality, and insecurity, instead of relying solely on international organizations.
Since independence, Kenya's government has focused on population management, developing policies, strategies, and programs to address population and development issues for socio-economic growth.
Speaking during the official county dissemination of the Sessional Paper No.1 of 2023 on Kenya Population Policy for Sustainable Development in Kisii town, the Deputy Director for National Council for Population and Development Mr.
Michael Oruru said the country must desist from overdependence on international funding.
