DKT INTERNATIONAL INC

DKT strives to provide couples with affordable and safe options for sexual and reproductive health and HIV/AIDS prevention through dynamic social marketing.

DKT has many strategies that contribute to its goals and overall mission. DKT implements social marketing to promote sexual and reproductive health and HIV/AIDS prevention. DKT's culture of decentralization ensures that strategic and programmatic responsibility is delegated to field offices and more than 2,000 employees around the globe. This allows for fast, on-the-ground decision-making that is culturally appropriate and based on the realities of the environment. It also means lower headquarters costs—ensuring that donor funding is applied where it will make the biggest impact.

With over 30 years of experience, DKT is uniquely qualified to deliver results. Their experienced personnel, developed infrastructures, government partnerships, and well-established brands allow DKT to impact sexual and reproductive health wordwide. To ensure quality results, DKT oversees every step of the social marketing process—from registering products with local authorities to importing and distributing the goods, marketing products to consumers, and training local providers.

DKT also creates brands of contraceptives and other health products to advertise and sell as consumer goods. This approach inspires more people to use contraception, as many people prefer to access these services through the private sector.

DKT International has also developed the skills and resources to implement social marketing programs in a highly cost-efficient manner. Through cross subsidization, DKT is able to introduce and promote a comprehensive range of quality contraceptives to a given market, strengthening the supply chain and increasing affordable, reliable, high-quality sexual and reproductive health options for couples globally. DKT reinvests revenues generated from the sale of these products back into key programming activities, including product procurement.

In 2021, DKT delivered contraceptive and safe abortion products/services to individuals in 90 countries. Results from 2021 reveal that DKT provided 54 million couple years of protection— their biggest year ever, and a 16% increase from 2020. These results position DKT as one of the largest—if not the largest—providers of sexual and reproductive health products in the world.
