The closure of the SHARP Project has highlighted significant gaps in adolescent sexual and reproductive health services in Kenya, with rising teenage pregnancies and declining commodity availability contributing to poor health outcomes.

• Availability of essential commodities like male condoms and oral contraceptives in Isiolo County public health facilities dropped from over 80% in 2022 to 38.5% in 2025.
• The project, coordinated by Health Action International and supported by the European Union, focused on strengthening adolescent health systems and youth voices in the Great Lakes Region, including Kenya's ASAL counties.
• Ministry of Health Head of Family Health Division, Dr. Edward Serem, warned that teenage pregnancies contribute significantly to maternal mortality, with 10-15% resulting in complications or deaths.
