No child in Africa should go to sleep hungry and scared- last year we saved more than 10k lives. This year we are planning to double this number.
MESSAGE FROM OUR CEO
A Year of Impact: ARFH’s Achievements and Commitment to Health Advancement in Nigeria.
In the past year, ARFH has tirelessly worked towards complementing the efforts of the Nigerian government, implementing projects that address critical health issues.
MESSAGE FROM OUR CEO
Our Impact in 2021 further reflects our mission driven commitment of collaboration with Government and other strategic partners towards designing and implementing innovative and high impact programmes for improved health and well-being of individuals and families in Africa.
As a leading not-for-profit and non-governmental organization, we implemented several pressing public health programmes that made a difference in the lives of hundreds of thousands of vulnerable populations across different communities in Nigeria. Some of the projects implemented cut across family planning, HIV/AIDS, OVC, TB, Nutrition, Gender-Based Violence and Systems strengthening.
In the face of COVID-19 pandemic, we adapted, remained resolute and supported Government at various levels in curbing the spread of the disease.
Worthy of note was the official launching of the USAID supported Integrated Child Health and Social Services Award (ICHSSA-2) project in Lagos, where ARFH with support from USAID, conferred the Award of “Grand Ambassador for OVC” on the First Lady of Lagos State, Dr. (Mrs) Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu, in recognition of her immense contributions towards the alleviation of the plight of Orphans and Vulnerable Children in Lagos State.
The laudable achievements recorded in 2021 would not have been possible without the valued support of Board of Directors, Donors, GoN, Implementing Partners and a critical mass of committed staff, who strived to ensure quality, and efficient service delivery to the beneficiaries. We will continue to leverage support from Stakeholders, as we work towards an African continent free of diseases.

No doubt the COVID–19 pandemic disrupted and threatened health service delivery globally in the year 2020. However, we have remained resilient and doubled our efforts in playing leadership role in addressing the scourge of HIV/AIDS, Sexual and Reproductive Health,
Family Planning, TB, Malaria, youth development and other emerging diseases of public health importance in Nigeria.
I wish to thank all staff and partners for their unwavering commitment and support towards implementing high–impact programmes for improved health and well–being of individuals and families across vulnerable communities in Nigeria. Together we will keep working to build needed
partnership and collaboration for a healthier and safer world for children, women, girls, youths and men across Nigeria and Africa.

This year marks the 30th anniversary of Association for Reproductive and Family Health (ARFH). Since its inception ARFH has contributed to alleviating the plight of vulnerable populations by designing and implementing cutting-edge public health and developmental solutions across the 36 states plus FCT in Nigeria. We are deeply proud of our achievements over the years which have saved millions of lives including children, women, men, and youths. Through our various interventions, we are not only leading access to sexual and reproductive health information and services including family planning but also facilitating access of HIV infected or affected Orphans and Vulnerable Children including their Caregivers to quality health and social services. We are more than ever committed to ending TB, Malaria and other diseases of public health importance both in Nigeria and Africa. Worthy of note is the new award of USAID funded Integrated Child Health and Social Services Award (ICHSSA 2) 2019-2024 in Lagos State to ARFH. This will enable us to reach thousands of children, women and adolescents with lifesaving health and economic interventions needed for them to live productive and healthier lives.
I am pleased to release the 2019 Annual Report which shows our significant achievements across all the projects implemented in 2019. This wouldn’t have been possible without the funding from our partners, support from Government as well as commitment, hard work and dedication of our staff.

President/CEO ARFH
Over the years, ARFH has successfully managed and implemented a plethora of life saving interventions targeted at transforming the public health and development landscape in Nigeria, many of which have been replicated nationwide and internationally recognised. Year 2018 was no different as it was remarkable for many achievements and milestones ARFH was able to achieve. ARFH through the support of her funders, partners, staff and supporters implemented various projects in family planning, sexual and reproductive health, adolescent health, HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Orphans and Vulnerable Children that impacted the lives of many people. This year 2018 Annual Report shares insights into the impactful interventions implemented by ARFH, achievement, lessons learnt and best practices, many of which hold great potential for scaling up appropriate solutions for many development and public health issues.
The year 2017 was a high impact year for ARFH marked by ground breaking interventions that provided succor for people living with AIDS in Nigeria, orphans and vulnerable children and their caregivers, pregnant women, and vulnerable communities at risk of TB. And as a Principal Recipient on the Global Fund grant to fight Tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS and Malaria, and a partner to many other international and local health organizations, ARFH is recognized as a very reputable key player in Nigeria’s response to many public and family health issues.
ARFH 2016 annual report sheds light on the organization’s contributions to Nigeria’s efforts to domesticate and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals through its advocacy for families to achieve socioeconomic development through family planning, its Maternal, Neo-Natal and Child Health (MNCH) programmes, and contributions to capacity building of Community Health Extension Workers. While rounding up its implementation of the programme in malaria prevention and treatment, momentum was increased on the Community Systems Strengthening project on demand generation for HIV Counselling and Testing (HCT) services. Various successes were recorded in the ‘Active Case Finding’ intervention under the Global Fund TB project of testing and treating tuberculosis patients and across other interventions under the ESPIM, UNFPA Family Planning Programme, Y-Access and SIDHAS Projects
The 2015 annual report is focused on reporting ARFH’s efforts in designing and implementing innovative and high impact programmes for improved health and well-being of individuals and families in Nigeria. As a Principal Recipient (PR) of Global Fund grants to fight HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, and a partner to many other international and indigenous health organisations, ARFH is considered a very reputable key player in Nigeria’s response to most public and family health issues.
The 2014 annual report showcases ARFH’s efforts in strengthening communities and providing quality services to support Nigeria’s national response to AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, as well as reducing maternal, newborn and child health. This report also showcases ARFH’s pioneering role in addressing the capacity needs of Community Health Extension Workers (CHEWS) under the new task-shifting policy of Nigeria. It also highlights the celebration of ARFH’s 25th Anniversary.
