The AHBN delegation met with Dr. Ummulkulthum Bajoga, Family Planning Analyst, and Dr. Zubaida Abubakar, Gender/GBV Management Specialist, both of UNFPA Nigeria. 1. The meeting revealed that Nigeria is currently experiencing stock-outs of family planning commodities across all 36 states, with particularly severe shortages in the North-West region. These supply gaps pose a significant threat to the continuity of family planning service delivery nationwide. 2. Discussions to support advocacy for the Federal Government of Nigeria to fulfil its co-financing commitment for family planning for 2026. 3. The engagement underscored the urgent need for stronger strategic partnerships and sustained advocacy for resource mobilisation, involving the Federal Government, sub-national governments, and the private sector, to close financing and supply gaps. 4. AHBN also gained clearer insights into partner co-financing arrangements for family planning for 2025 and 2026, including donor allocations and releases into the National Family Planning Basket Fund. The meeting concluded with a shared understanding that persistent stock-outs across all levels of the supply chain will severely limit service providers’ ability to deliver family planning services, threatening to reverse hard-won gains and undermining efforts to protect the health and rights of women, adolescents, and children in Nigeria. This strategic meeting provided the impetus for AHBN to finalize its motion tracker data collection, report, and validation meeting in April 2026 as well as generate a series of advocacy messages that will collaboratively support the AHBN and partners to address family planning challenges in Nigeria.
