The #COVID19 pandemic as we know it reversed gains in childhood vaccination in many low & middle income countries & increased the number of Zero-dose children. Interestingly, there was no point difference in Nigeria's vaccine coverage. Find out more in this report.

The number of #zerodosechildren has risen to 12.5 million during the pandemic. This unprecedented rise puts millions of children at risk of deadly diseases.

@_dotimi Congratulations on completing your MPH, such a great feat. If you are in Nigeria, we’d love to explore working with you. DM?

[Advance FP Advocates In Nigeria (AFPAN) @AFPAdvocates_NG]

The #AFPinNigeria involved targeted advocacy engagements with policymakers for increased financial commitments to family planning. We call on the National Reproductive Health Technical Working Group to coordinate the use of motion trackers to track the financial commitments.

[Advance FP Advocates In Nigeria (AFPAN) @AFPAdvocates_NG]

#AFPinNigeria, in line with Nigeria's FP2030 commitments, emphasized the need for state-led accountability mechanisms as a requirement for demonstrating transparency & accountability in family planning funding. We ask that gov't includes media & civil society in these structures.

[Advance FP Advocates In Nigeria (AFPAN) @AFPAdvocates_NG]

While #AFPinNigeria advocacy yielded improved family planning (FP) financial commitments & investment by the gov't at state level, funding gaps still exist. We call on gov't to expand partnerships with the public & private sector non-state actors to mobilize funds for FP.

Don’t forget to follow @AFPAdvocates_NG to keep up with updates on family planning.

[Advance FP Advocates In Nigeria (AFPAN) @AFPAdvocates_NG]

One of the #AFPinNigeria advocacy wins was the launch of a costed implementation plan for family planning (FP) in Benue in 2018. We encourage all other state governments to develop costed plans for their FP programmes.

@SomtoUdeke Some 'deliverables' can seem to be after your very life.

[Funmilayo Adewumi @lahyour16]

An #AFPinNigeria advocacy win in @oyostategovt in 2017 was the release of >N16 million for family planning which exceeded the budgeted amount by over 50%. Such efforts are commended & should be given more visibility by media executives in their health stories.

[Advance FP Advocates In Nigeria (AFPAN) @AFPAdvocates_NG]

The #AFPinNigeria advocacy efforts in Kaduna contributed to the release of ₦45 Million from the 2017 budget for family planning (FP). Allocations must be backed up by releases. State govts, we ask that you continue to close the gap between allocated & released funds for FP.

[Advance FP Advocates In Nigeria (AFPAN) @AFPAdvocates_NG]

In 2020, #AFPinNigeria and partners advocacy led to budgetary allocation of >₦500 Million for family planning (FP) from Gombe, Kaduna, Kebbi, Kwara, Lagos, Nasarawa, Ogun, Oyo & Plateau. All State govts need to ensure the creation of FP budget lines to meet programme needs.

[Advance FP Advocates In Nigeria (AFPAN) @AFPAdvocates_NG]

In 2017, Kwara State released ₦8 million for purchase of family planning consumables and training of health workers. While this is commendable, we call on Kwara and other State gov'ts to strengthen budgetary processes and ensure timely and full release of allocated funds.

[Advance FP Advocates In Nigeria (AFPAN) @AFPAdvocates_NG]

Through #AFPinNigeria & partners, such as Family Health Advocates in Nigeria Initiative, Kaduna's advocacy efforts, >N100 million was earmarked for Family Planning (FP) commodities & consumables in 2020. We ask state governments to ensure sufficient & consistent funding for FP.

[Advance FP Advocates In Nigeria (AFPAN) @AFPAdvocates_NG]

#AFPinNigeria funded by @gatesfoundation from 2015 - 2022 in 12 states, raised awareness on need to increase domestic funding & break policy barriers to equitable access to family planning. We call on Media Executives to continue using their platforms to amplify key FP messages.

[Advance FP Advocates In Nigeria (AFPAN) @AFPAdvocates_NG]

With support from #AFPinNigeria, CSOs advocated for funding for family planning (FP) in 11 LGAs in Gombe state leading to creation of a budget line for FP consumables. We call on State & Local governments to allocate funds for procurement of FP commodities & consumables.

[Advance FP Advocates In Nigeria (AFPAN) @AFPAdvocates_NG]

In 2016, #AFPinNigeria working with PHSAI @PublicHealthSu1 contributed to a policy directive mandating family planning services to be completely free in Lagos state. Governments at all levels must continue to be responsive to the needs of our communities, by engaging with CSOs.

[Advance FP Advocates In Nigeria (AFPAN) @AFPAdvocates_NG]

Through #AFPinNigeria project across 12 states, >₦4 billion has been mobilised for family planning (FP) funding over the last 7 yrs. Federal & state governments must continue to demonstrate transformational leadership & commitment to FP funding, in line with @FP2030 commitments.

[Advance FP Advocates In Nigeria (AFPAN) @AFPAdvocates_NG]

The #AFPinNigeria advocacy efforts in Kwara @followKWSG led to the release of ₦25M for family planning (FP) services from the state budget and the Saving One Million Lives (SOML) programme in 2018. State govts must ensure the release & efficient use of funds budgeted for FP.

[Advance FP Advocates In Nigeria (AFPAN) @AFPAdvocates_NG]

In 2018, #AFPinNigeria advocacy contributed to a secondary budget allocation for family planning (FP) activities by Kaduna State Commissioner for Budget. This is a show of accountability in fulfilling commitments and we call on all States to meet Nigeria's @FP2030 commitments.
