he vision of the alliance is sexual reproductive health for all with a key emphasis on information, services and creating an enabling environment. We aim to accomplish this by increasing access to comprehensive sexuality education and sexual reproductive health information among young people, increasing the demand for and access to quality sexual reproductive health services, and by advocating for the realization of the sexual and reproductive health and rights of young people, women and marginalized groups. Working as an Alliance provides a great platform and an opportunity for national and international advocacy and has proven to offer a strong added advantage. It has offered leverage on resources and expertise to do better programming and a framework for fundraising to partners by mobilizing funds from local and other sources. The alliance has been implementing several programs since 2011 with the United for Body Right (UFBR) that had funding of Euros 861,135,000.00, Access, Services and Knowledge in 2013 with funding of Euros 632,328,000.00. Currently, we are implementing the Amplify Change program, with funding of $396.000,00 and the Get up Speak out (GUSO) program with funding of approximately $5.500.000,00 The Alliance works towards improved SRHR conditions for young people and adults, by strengthening the capacity of the partner organizations and CSOs in Kenya to enable them to sustainably promote and implement effective interventions, and to advocate for SRHR in the counties. The Alliance is also instrumental in conducting evidence-based programming to inform laws, policies and decision-making and focuses on influencing significant change on the priority given to SRH by national and county governments. Networking is vital to the sustainability of our work and we strive to create lasting linkages and relationships for effective political mobilization so as to influence policy and financing for SRHR with local, regional and international key stakeholders. In line with our mission; to harness partnerships to promote the realization of sexual reproductive health and rights of young people, women and marginalized groups, the alliance collaborates and partners with key line ministries in policy formulation such as the Ministry of Ministry of Health (MoH) where we developed the National Sexual Reproductive Health Policy (NARSH), the National Guidelines for Provision of Adolescent Youth-Friendly Services (YFS) in Kenya, 2005 and the Ministry of Education (MoE) where we developed the school re-entry guidelines for students trying to go back to school. The Alliance also maintains strong partnerships with other Dutch funded alliances such as the Right Here Right Now (RHRN); PITCH Alliance; Yes I Do Alliance (YIDA) and RFSU. The alliance is currently funded by, Rutgers, Simavi, CHOICE, AIDS FONDS, IPPF, AMREF, Dance 4 life and Amplify Change
