Anglophone West Africa - DKT International

Anglophone West Africa (AWA)

DKT AWA at a Glance

DKT operates a regional social marketing program in Anglophone West Africa (AWA), with operations headquartered in Ghana (founded in 2010). In 2018, DKT launched sales in Liberia and Sierra Leone, leveraging common language to promote economies of scale.
DKT’s objective in Ghana is to raise the contraceptive prevalence rate and reduce maternal mortality. These same objectives apply to Liberia, where two-thirds of the population is under 25, and Sierra Leone, where women have a 1 in 21 lifetime risk of dying from pregnancy-related causes (the world’s highest maternal mortality rate).
DKT is one of the main providers of contraception in the region. Our extensive product portfolio includes condoms, oral contraception, emergency contraception, injectables, IUDs, implants, and safe abortion products. For a full list of our products, contact DKT leadership.
Initiatives include youth-focused, sex-positive behavior change campaigns, midwife and nurse trainings, development of a partner clinic network, and outreach in underserved communities.
