The journey towards achieving comprehensive and sustainable family planning in Nigeria has been challenging and dynamic. Over the years, the Association for the Advancement of Family Planning (AAFP) has diligently collaborated with the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, alongside partner organizations and government agencies, to advance the cause of family planning across the nation.

Since its inception in 2010, the Nigeria Family Planning Conference has served as a pivotal platform for stakeholders to convene, exchange ideas, and strategize on how best to address the pressing issues surrounding family planning in our country. However, despite concerted efforts and notable achievements, recent developments paint a sobering picture of the current state of affairs. Nigeria continues to grapple with persistently high fertility rates, stagnant contraceptive prevalence rates, and alarming maternal mortality rates. In response to these critical developments and recognizing the imperative for decisive intervention, AAFP and the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, in collaboration with their esteemed partners, are poised to convene the 8th Edition of the Nigeria Family Planning Conference in December 2024.

The AAFP, in Collaboration With Federal Ministry Of Health And Social Welfare and partner organizations, is pleased to invite submissions of abstracts for the upcoming conference on “Sustaining Commitments for Family Planning within the Nigeria Health Sector Renewal Investment Programs in Advancing the Progress toward Achieving FP2030.”
