Thriving Pharmacies: Smart Business for Better Care
Training Package Roadmap 2026-2030
The Post-Medication Abortion Contraception (PMAC) Project (2018-2026), implemented by Ipas in partnership with Population Council–Kenya, Nivi, Impact for Health (IHI), and ThinkPlace, worked to strengthen the delivery of PMAC through community pharmacies. Over seven years, the project demonstrated that pharmacy-led family planning is feasible and impactful, while also highlighting gaps in the business and operational skills needed to sustain high-quality services.
To address these gaps, the Thriving Pharmacies: Smart Business for Better Care training package was developed to strengthen the business acumen of community pharmacists and position family planning (FP), including post–MA FP, as both a vital health service and a sustainable business opportunity. The training package integrates entrepreneurship, financial management, and operational planning through practical, applied learning.
