ADVOCACY

Advocacy Kits and Documents

To support family planning advocacy in each of the three States and beyond, NURHI 2 assisted Advocacy Core Groups (ACGs) to develop advocacy kits, and prepared a number of training materials, monographs, articles and write ups documenting the advocacy process.


Advocacy Kits


NURHI 2 worked with Advocacy Core Groups in Kaduna, Lagos, Oyo and Kano States to develop advocacy kits. In Kaduna and Oyo States, ACGs reviewed and updated existing advocacy kits developed under NURHI 1 based on the 2018 Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey and NURHI 1 Endline Survey. In Lagos and Kano States, where NURHI 1 did not work, ACGs created new Advocacy Kits. Each advocacy kit contains a fact sheet and policy briefs targeting religious and traditional leaders, policy makers, legislature, and the media. Kaduna and Kano State Advocacy Kits also include briefs for men as heads of families. NURHI 2 pre-tested kits with policy leaders, legislature, media, religious and community leaders to determine their appropriateness and acceptability. Following pre-tests, ACGs and NURHI 2 further reviewed, refined, printed and shared the kits for use by family planning advocates in each State.
