Specifically, the objective of the baseline study was to generate the necessary baseline data for the project entitled ‘Enhancing Quality and Universal access to Indigenous People’s reproductive healthcare (EQUIP)’ which is being implemented in partnership with Health Poverty Action (HPA) and IIDA Women’s Development Organisation partners in Kenya.

A combination of probability and convenience sampling methods were employed to determine distribution of sample size for the survey.

Data collection commenced on 17 March 2020 and completed on 26 March 2020, where a total of 100 women were interviewed from the target sample of 100. The target beneficiaries were drawn from 4 health facilities in Mandera East Sub-County including: Koromey Dispensary, Qumbiso Dispensary, Hareri Hosle Dispensary and Buruburu Dispensary.
