PMA 2016 / Nigeria. Performance Monitoring and Accountability 2020. Key family planning indicators.

After many years of stagnant contraceptive prevalence intensive programming efforts appear to be paying off in Nigeria. The latest PMA2020 surveys based in 7 states estimate that modern method prevalence among married women increased nationally from 9.8% in 2013 (based on DHS data) to 16.0% in 2016. Such an increase of more than 2 percentage points per year is widely recognized as excellent performance. This is a two page snapshot of indicators from the first nationally representative survey sample in Nigeria. PMA / Nigeria is carried out in seven states: Anambra Kaduna Kano Lagos Nasarawa Rivers and Taraba. Two survey rounds have been completed in Lagos and Kaduna and one survey round has been completed in Nasarwa Rivers Taraba Kano and Anambra.
