August 2007 — In Kenya, family planning services and HIV voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) have traditionally been offered separately. However, health policymakers have begun to recognize the opportunities missed and efficiencies lost in this parallel approach. The Kenya Ministry of Health convened a group of VCT and family planning experts from other government agencies and nongovernmental organizations, which FHI 360 facilitated. The group developed a national strategy to implement integrated VCT and family planning services for women, men, youth and couples.
