Crude birth rate of Kenya 1930-2020
However, the birth rate would see a brief increase from 1995 to 2000, an increase attributed in part to a prioritizing of government healthcare resources away from contraceptives and family planning towards combatting the emerging HIV/AIDS epidemic. Resources for contraceptives and family planning from the Kenyan government would begin to return around 2003, and as a result, the crude birth rate began to fall again. In 2020, the crude birth rate in Kenya is estimated to be 28.9 births per thousand people.
