1.Background

 

At the 2012 London Summit on Family Planning (LSFP), Nigeria pledged to double its contraceptive prevalence rate (CPR) among married women from 15 percent to 36 percent by 2018.  As a means of achieving this goal, the FMOH developed a family planning costed implementation plan (the National FP Blueprint 2013 -2018) which was launched in 2014. The government of Nigeria renewed its FP 2020 commitments at the 2017 London FP2020 conference, with the aim of accelerating the country towards achieving an mCPR target of 27%.   

 

The country has made significant progress in implementing the national FP Blueprint (2013 – 2018), which ends this year. With the expiration of the Blueprint in 2018, the FMOH in collaboration with key stakeholders have commenced the process of revising the document. The development of a revised National FP Blueprint 2019 – 2023 commenced with a strategic meeting held in Kano between 13th – 16th September 2018.
