DKT launched Mifepack in the Democratic Republic of the Congo 2019. It was the first registered combipack product in the market.
The Democratic Republic of Congo's modern contraceptive prevalence rate is only about 21%, and the teen pregnancy rate is high. To engage young people on sexual health issues, DKT DRC created a youth program, Batela Lobi Na Yo (“Protect Your Future”) to inform young people of their contraceptive options.
DKT trains health providers in every province of the country to provide contraceptive method mix counseling. Training is designed to enable pharmacists and community mobilizers to provide stigma-free counseling to young people without judgement.
