NURHI Family Planning Landscaping in Kaduna and Lagos
In 2014/15, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation commissioned The Johns Hopkins Center for Communication Programs (CCP), Marie Stopes International Organisation Nigeria (MSION) and DKT International Nigeria to conduct a family planning landscaping exercise in Lagos and Kaduna States on behalf of the Nigerian government. The purpose was to better understand state-specific family planning supply and demand barriers and identify key solution levers to accelerate contraceptive use.The landscaping partners reviewed existing research and conducted 10 studies in Kaduna and Lagos states between December 2014 and May 2015. Research conducted for this landscaping exercise included:
- Secondary analysis of the 2013 Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey
- Questions placed on a population based omnibus survey to explore ideational factors associated with the use of contraceptives
- Geospatial mapping of public and private sector family planning services
- Qualitative focus group discussions and in-depth interviews with contraceptive users and non-users, their male partners, health workers, and leaders
- Analysis of donor coordination and advocacy resources in each state
- Analysis of the contraceptive supply chain in the public and private sector in Kaduna and the private sector in Lagos
- Analysis of regulations, policies, and laws affecting family planning programs in Kaduna and Lagos states
- Analysis of private sector services and potential for expansion
- Quantitative contraceptive methods marketing, pricing and media survey
- Qualitative contraceptive methods marketing research.
On May 26 – 28, 2015, the landscaping partners met in Lagos to review and analyze findings, discuss the meaning of the data, identify key barriers to contraceptive use in Lagos and Kaduna states and make recommendations for priority interventions that had the most likelihood of increasing contraceptive use over the next three to five years.
The team shared a report of its analysis with the Nigerian Federal Ministry of Health, Lagos and Kaduna State Ministries of Health, other family planning stakeholders and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in September – October, 2015.Findings from these landscape analyses informed the design of NURHI 2 interventions and served as a baseline for NURHI 2 in Lagos and Kaduna States.
