DKT International
DKT International (DKT) is a charitable non-profit organization that promotes family planning and HIV prevention through social marketing. The Washington, D.C.-based DKT was founded in 1989 by Phil Harvey and operates in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Much of its revenue comes from its sales of low-cost contraceptives. In 2013, DKT sold over 548 million condoms, 71 million cycles of oral contraceptives, 17 million injectable contraceptives and 1.7 million intrauterine devices (IUDs). This is equivalent to 23.6 million couple years of protection (CYPs), making DKT one of the largest private providers of contraceptives in the developing world. The average cost per CYP was less than US$2.00.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About DKT )〕 DKT's marketing strategies have included advertising, creating location-specific brands, working with local social networks and militaries, and targeting high-risk groups.〔 DKT also works with health workers and clinics that provide family planning products, information, and services.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=How Social Marketing Changes Lives )〕 Charity Navigator has given DKT a four-star financial rating, with 98.1% of its budget going towards programs and 1.8% towards administration and fund raising in 2011.〔
==History==
Phil Harvey first became interested in family planning in 1968 while working on emergency food relief for CARE International in India.〔 In 1970, Phil Harvey and his UNC professor Tim Black founded the business Adam & Eve in order to finance their charitable activities and founded the non-profit health organization Population Services International that same year.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Philip D. Harvey: King of porn, master of charity (including interview) )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About Adam & Eve )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=PSI at a Glance )〕 DKT International, named for D.K. Tyagi, an early pioneer of family planning in India, was founded in 1989. DKT has grown quickly over the years. For example, its revenue from selling contraceptives increased from US$4.5 million in 1996 to $75 million in 2010, and its CYPs increased from 5.7 million in 2002 to more than 25 million in 2012.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Progress Report )〕
In 2006, DKT International refused to take the U.S. government's anti-prostitution pledge, feeling the pledge would interfere with its HIV/AIDS services worldwide. DKT challenged the pledge as a violation of First Amendment rights, with the support of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). Judge Emmet G. Sullivan ruled in favor of DKT in the District Court for the District of Columbia on May 18, 2006, but the Court of Appeals reversed the decision on February 27, 2007.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=DKT International v. USAID )〕 A different organization successfully challenged the pledge before the U.S. Supreme Court in ''Agency for International Development v. Alliance for Open Society International, Inc.''
