Between March and April 2026, DKT Nigeria conducted a certification outreach for previously trained family planning providers across five LGAs in Lagos State - Ikorodu, Amuwo-Odofin, Lagos Mainland, Badagry, and Oshodi-Isolo, demonstrating how strategic capacity building can translate into immediate and measurable public health outcomes.
Through the outreach:
• 890 individuals were reached with family planning information and counseling
• 371 clients adopted a family planning method with 238 choosing long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs)
• 19 trained providers successfully completed training certification
Flexible implementation approaches and continuous mentorship remain essential for strengthening workforce capacity, addressing provider availability challenges, and sustaining quality family planning service delivery that responds to communities’ immediate reproductive health needs.
