Abstract

The 2022 Kenya Demographic and Health Survey (2022 KDHS) was implemented by the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) in collaboration with the Ministry of Health (MoH) and other
stakeholders. The survey is the 7th KDHS implemented in the country.

The primary objective of the 2022 KDHS is to provide up-to-date estimates of basic sociodemographic, nutrition and health indicators. Specifically, the 2022 KDHS collected information on:
• Fertility levels and contraceptive prevalence
• Childhood mortality
• Maternal and child health
• Early Childhood Development Index (ECDI)
• Anthropometric measures for children, women, and men
• Children’s nutrition
• Woman’s dietary diversity
• Knowledge and behaviour related to the transmission of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases
• Noncommunicable diseases and other health issues
• Extent and pattern of gender-based violence
• Female genital mutilation.

The information collected in the 2022 KDHS will assist policymakers and programme managers in monitoring, evaluating, and designing programmes and strategies for improving the health of Kenya’s population. The 2022 KDHS also provides indicators relevant to monitoring the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for Kenya, as well as indicators relevant for monitoring national and subnational development agendas such as the Kenya Vision 2030, Medium Term Plans (MTPs), and County Integrated Development Plans (CIDPs).
