DKT Pakistan

DKT Pakistan In 1989, Phil Harvey founded DKT International a social marketing enterprise to promote family planning & HIV/AIDS prevention through social marketing.

DKT programs provided 24.6 million couple years of protection in 2011, using standard conversion factors for Couple Years of Protection (CYP). This figure makes DKT the largest private provider of contraceptives and family planning services in the developing world. DKT’s sales totals for 2011 included 650 million condoms, over 72 million cycles of oral contraceptives, over 14 million injectable co

ntraceptives, over 1 million IUDs, and emergency contraception, implants, mifepristone/misoprostol, and manual vacuum aspiration kits. Revenue from the sales of contraceptives and family planning services in 2011 was $99 million (not yet audited). Program revenues covered approximately 70 percent of our operating costs. This figure has been climbing steadily over the past several years. Our grants and contributions in 2010 totaled $28.2 million, including the donation of contraceptives. Our cost per CYP was less than $2, which was made possible by increasing efficiencies and by near self-sufficiency in several country programs. However, the higher-cost-per CYP programs, such as Bihar, India and Sudan, have had a major impact because their urban and rural populations have a great need for contraceptives and contraceptive services. DKT’s contraceptive social marketing programs have been a remarkable success. While the numbers are impressive, they mask an equally important aspect of social marketing: its profound effect on people’s lives. The humanitarian impact of our social marketing programs in Latin America, Africa, and Asia has immediate and long term benefits for poor families. Planned, healthy families have more food and clothing, and – perhaps most importantly – money for school supplies and education for the new generation of children growing up. Every year, DKT’s innovative programs are saving more lives and improving the health of more families in many of the world’s developing countries. Rising incomes in Asia and Latin America and steady or declining prices of contraceptives have made it possible for DKT to substantially increase its revenue stream, which leads to lower donor costs per CYP. As DKT programs produce higher sales revenues, the number of CYPs generated by donor dollars also increases. In 2001, DKT programs generated 5.7 million CYPs. By 2013, DKT anticipates generating 30 million CYPs with the same amount of donor dollars.
