Last week a feature in the Daily Nation on national trends in population growth noted that Kajiado had one of the highest birth rates.

Population growth rates correlate directly with access to family planning (FP) as well as other health services. Kajiado’s vastness places huge constrains in terms of resources needed due to the dispersed dwelling patterns.
