Behind every family planning statistic is a real person, a real family, and a real decision.
Nigeria continues to face significant reproductive health challenges. According to the latest national data, the modern contraceptive prevalence rate (mCPR) among currently married women remains at 15%, while unmet need for family planning has increased to 21%. Previous national analyses also indicate that many women discontinue contraceptive use, highlighting ongoing challenges in access, continuity of care, and informed choice.
These figures are more than numbers—they point to opportunities for stronger policies, better programme design, and more responsive health systems.
At Garnaly, we believe that effective health interventions begin with understanding people's lived experiences.
Through household surveys, health facility assessments, qualitative research, client satisfaction studies, stakeholder consultations, and monitoring and evaluation, we help governments, NGOs, donors, and development partners generate the evidence needed to strengthen reproductive health programmes and improve health outcomes.
Reliable data helps answer important questions:
• What barriers prevent women from accessing family planning services?
• Why do some women discontinue contraceptive use?
• How do social norms, cost, geography, and service quality influence decision-making?
• Which interventions are delivering measurable impact?
When evidence informs action, programmes become more inclusive, more effective, and more sustainable.
At Garnaly, we don't just collect data—we help transform evidence into better health outcomes across Africa.
