Prof Onyebuchi Chukwu
• Family planning is crucial to National development but Nigeria is not doing too well with FP.
• With the increase in maternal and child mortality, high morbidity, population increase with limited resources, there is need to increase the quality of FP in Nigeria.

Hajiya Amina Az-Zubair(SSAP MDGs)
• Nigeria has unmet FP demands and must show commitment to meeting those demands.
• MDGs 4 & 5 cannot be achieved without adequately addressing FP needs.
• There is need to map out strategies to scale up the participation of FBOs, CBOs and NGOs in the FP programming.
• The communication gap on FP needs to be addressed not just by the media but also by policy makers.
• Conditional Grants given to states and local governments should be scaled up to encourage ownership of FP programming

Dr. Agathe Lawson- UNFPA (Multilaterals )

Current Status of FP in Nigeria
![Page 24: 1 st NATIONAL FAMILY PLANNING CONFERENCE 2010](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56814897550346895db5ad9b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

![Page 25: 1 st NATIONAL FAMILY PLANNING CONFERENCE 2010](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56814897550346895db5ad9b/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Key Issues
Promoting knowledge and use of modern contraceptives would not only reduce maternal and child mortality by 25-30% (MDGs 4 and 5), but will also serve as a check for population growth rate, a key indicator to national development.
![Page 26: 1 st NATIONAL FAMILY PLANNING CONFERENCE 2010](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56814897550346895db5ad9b/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Key Issues from presentation
• 51% of the population living below $1 per day.• By 2020, China, Indonesia and Nigeria have
high population and also a potential market.• There has been a progressive decrease in
revenue allocation to health sector in Nigeria.
![Page 27: 1 st NATIONAL FAMILY PLANNING CONFERENCE 2010](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56814897550346895db5ad9b/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
BUT
• The unmet need for FP is at 20% - TOO HIGH• If FP programmes served most women with
unmet needs, the demographic impact would be substantial.
![Page 28: 1 st NATIONAL FAMILY PLANNING CONFERENCE 2010](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56814897550346895db5ad9b/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
WHY
Commodity security is a challenge! WHAT DO WE DO??? Public sector is chronically under stocked. No product, no programme! Timely forecasting and procurement is necessary
for commodity availability. $1,688,600 million is needed by January 2011 for FP
commodities or else stock out!
If nothing is done (between now and Feb) Nigeria will experience serious stock out.

![Page 30: 1 st NATIONAL FAMILY PLANNING CONFERENCE 2010](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56814897550346895db5ad9b/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Our Thought Provoking Discourse
Contradictions in Population Policy: revenue Allocation Vs National Development
![Page 31: 1 st NATIONAL FAMILY PLANNING CONFERENCE 2010](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56814897550346895db5ad9b/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Background
• Revenue strategic framework is being reviewed every 3-4 years.
• The sources of revenue is being drawn from taxes, oils, etc.
• A particular percentage is being allocated to every sector. This translates to institutions needing the resources.
• “The more you have , the more you get” policy has created a huge problem in our levels of implementation.
• FP is a key indicator to national/population planning.
![Page 32: 1 st NATIONAL FAMILY PLANNING CONFERENCE 2010](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56814897550346895db5ad9b/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Key Discussants
• Hajiya Amina Az-Zubair (SSAP MDG)• Dr Otive Igbuzor (ED, African Centre for
Leadership Strategy and Development)
![Page 33: 1 st NATIONAL FAMILY PLANNING CONFERENCE 2010](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56814897550346895db5ad9b/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Role of Population in National Planning
• Population is not the problem but its contents.• Populous nation is a big challenge because the
revenue may not be enough.• Government needs to create an enabling
environment for population reduction • Providing essential options to make informed
choices of FP.• FP services should be based on population
strategies to define population.
![Page 34: 1 st NATIONAL FAMILY PLANNING CONFERENCE 2010](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56814897550346895db5ad9b/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
What is the Role of Policy in implementation/revenue allocation• Population is a politics of number.• HIV incidence gives rise to decreased
population.• Funding gives rise to increased population.• Fair and transparent election of individuals
into government will enhance the government’s involvement in FP service provision.
![Page 35: 1 st NATIONAL FAMILY PLANNING CONFERENCE 2010](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56814897550346895db5ad9b/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
What can we do?
• Good Leadership matched with Governance • Population management vis a vis available
resources• Operationalize existing policies
![Page 36: 1 st NATIONAL FAMILY PLANNING CONFERENCE 2010](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56814897550346895db5ad9b/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

• What some are against are the methods employed to do FP (Natural Vs Modern method)
• All the faiths are in support of FP provided it is on health ground.
• None supports contraceptives for unmarried persons
![Page 40: 1 st NATIONAL FAMILY PLANNING CONFERENCE 2010](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56814897550346895db5ad9b/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Thought Provoking Discourse
Men taking the lead in FP: Exploring FP Methods
![Page 41: 1 st NATIONAL FAMILY PLANNING CONFERENCE 2010](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56814897550346895db5ad9b/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Some Proffered Way Forward
• Urgent need to actively involve men in FP crusade• Although women should take the lead in FP decision
making spousal consultation and discussion is vital.• Intervention programs should include negotiation skills
to enable women to negotiate with their spouses• Natural FP should be an integral part of the national FP
program and providers should have the capacity to offer natural FP
• Early family life heath education should be sited at PHC for mothers with children under 1.
![Page 42: 1 st NATIONAL FAMILY PLANNING CONFERENCE 2010](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56814897550346895db5ad9b/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
More Way Forward
• Good record keeping. Presently, all forecasts were made from basic records of FP services at various levels.
• If the youths are highly educated and skilled in labour, national development will be improved. There is need to involve Youths actively.
• Invest more in integrated services.
![Page 43: 1 st NATIONAL FAMILY PLANNING CONFERENCE 2010](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56814897550346895db5ad9b/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
And More
• Create awareness on FP as a cost effective investment in development
• Create a budget line and facilitate timely releases for FP goods and services within the health project.
• Leverage resources from RH/HIV programme to ensure continuous availability of contraceptive commodities.
• Capacity building of health workers.• Inclusion of FP in the free MCH service – NHIS.• Involvement of media on FP issues.
![Page 44: 1 st NATIONAL FAMILY PLANNING CONFERENCE 2010](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56814897550346895db5ad9b/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Next Steps
• Each state to engage their traditional and religious leaders
• Strengthen religious/traditional• Targeted sessions for the armed forces• Follow-up the policy statements at all levels• Get commitment statement from their state
officials
