NATIONAL FAMILY PLANNING COMMUNICATION PLAN 2017 (REVISED)

NATIONAL FAMILY PLANNING COMMUNICATION PLAN 2017 (REVISED)

Family Planning indices in Nigeria are presently very poor with Total Fertility Rate at 5.5, any method of Contraceptive Prevalence Rate (CPR) at 15% (10% modern methods and 5% traditional methods), high family planning knowledge (any method 85% female and 95% male, modern method 84% female and 94% male) and high unmet need for Family Planning at 16%. Apart from current pockets of discrete communication activities being implemented by few Development and Implementing Partners, there is no concerted national communication plan to guide Family Planning communication activities at the State, Local Government Area and Community Levels in Nigeria. To address the afore-mentioned unacceptable indices, a robust national multimedia Family Planning and Demand Creation Communication Campaign has to be put in place for Nigeria focusing on increasing knowledge and uptake of Modern FP methods to generate 7.3 million Women of Reproductive Age new users of modern Family Planning methods to achieve the target of 36% Contraceptive Prevalence Rate (CPR) by December 2018.
