WORLD CONTRACEPTION DAY 2026
No Barriers, Just Choices: Contraceptive Access Now

Everyone should have the opportunity to decide if, when and how many children to have, with access to accurate information, a range of contraceptive options and quality, respectful services.

At @arfhng, in collaboration with government, health workers, communities, development partners and other stakeholders, we are strengthening access to modern contraceptives across Gombe, Kano, Lagos, Nasarawa, Niger, Plateau and Yobe States.

Through the Community-Oriented DMPA-SC Self-Injection Acceleration in Nigeria (CODSAiN) project, supported by the @gatesfoundation, we are working to:

• Expand access to contraceptive options and informed counselling
• Bring services closer to underserved communities
• Support self-care as part of the broader method mix
• Strengthen health worker and community provider capacity
• Improve commodity availability and supply systems
• Use data, digital tools, radio and community engagement to address information gaps and misconceptions
• Promote sustainable financing and government ownership

Sustainable contraceptive access requires more than commodities. It requires informed choice, quality services, reliable supplies and sustained investment.

This World Contraception Day, ARFH reaffirms its commitment to removing barriers and expanding access to voluntary, quality family planning, contributing to better reproductive and maternal health outcomes.
