Nigeria PPFP Stakeholders in Nigeria reached consensus on the need to update all FP materials in line with the 2015 MEC Guidelines and received support from bilateral and multilateral partners to move ahead with implementation. Though national stakeholders have reached consensus on scaling up access to PPFP, implementation at the sub-national level is dependent of the State and LGA governments willingness and commitment to the programs. Some states are being assisted to do so by donors and development partners (e.g. USAID, DfID, Gates, etc.) while some are not. There is a need to have a country-wide implementation plan. Advocacy to more development partners to support PPFP scale-up programs in Nigeria in order to ensure that there are no orphan states in the country.
