From 21st to 23rd January 2026, ARFH is hosting stakeholders from the Federal Ministry of Health & Social Welfare, NPHCDA, the Gates Foundation, as well as state officials, CBOs, and teams from Lagos, Plateau, Niger, Kano, Gombe, Nasarawa, and Yobe in Abuja for the CODSAiN (Community-Oriented DMPA-SC Self-Injection Acceleration in Nigeria) Project Annual Review Meeting. Under the theme “Accelerating Impact: Data-Driven Strategies for Sustainable CODSAiN Outcomes,” the meeting brings together participants through panel discussions, state-level presentations, group work, and strategic deliberations, all aimed at strengthening sustainability, health system resilience, and local ownership of DMPA-SC Self-Injection services.
Stakeholders are engaging in strategic conversations around sustainability plans and state ownership to align interventions with national priorities, ensuring last-mile distribution and commodity security for uninterrupted access to family planning services. The discussions also focus on domestic resource mobilization, timely budget and fund release, and optimizing AOPs to integrate resources for sustained programming. Through data-driven decision-making and integration, participants are leveraging service delivery and self-injection data to improve outcomes and inform planning. The meeting further explores harnessing the demographic dividend, reducing maternal mortality, increasing contraceptive prevalence rates, and empowering facility and community service delivery approaches to maintain high-quality, accessible services.
Through this collaborative process, ARFH and its partners are committed to embedding CODSAiN outcomes into state health systems, ensuring that progress in maternal health, contraceptive uptake, and overall reproductive health is sustainable and scalable.
