In 2003, the Kenya Ministry of Health, Division of Reproductive Health launched an IUD reintroduction initiative with the collaboration of over 18 international and local partners.  From 2003-2005, project partners designed and implemented a comprehensive program that addressed barriers to IUD use at all levels where needs had been identified: advocacy to policy makers and providers, provider clinical training, improved logistics and supplies, and community level education.  This case study describes the expansion of this IUD program in the Kisii district of Kenya.
