PSHAN pledges ₦3.87b for family planning in Nigeria by 2034

The Private Sector Health Alliance of Nigeria (PSHAN) has committed to investing ₦3.87 billion (approx. $2.3 million) by 2034 to improve access to family planning (FP)/child spacing services across Nigeria.

Announced at the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) Family Planning Conference, this groundbreaking commitment underscored PSHAN’s dedication to addressing critical gaps in FP services through sustainable private-sector engagement and innovative solutions.

Through the flagship Adopt-a-Health Facility Programme (ADHFP), PSHAN will establish 774 world-class primary healthcare centres (PHCs)—one in each local council of Nigeria. These facilities aim to provide integrated child spacing services to over 30 million women and girls directly by 2030 and an additional 50 million people indirectly.

The initiative is expected to reduce maternal mortality by 30 per cent and increase modern contraceptive prevalence rates (mCPR) by 25 per cent, significantly contributing to Nigeria’s healthcare improvement goals.

Speaking on this historic commitment, MD/CEO of PSHAN, Dr Tinuola Akinbolagbe, said: “Family planning is fundamental to improving maternal and child health, empowering women, and fostering sustainable development. By leveraging private sector resources, we are breaking barriers to access, ensuring that underserved communities receive the care they deserve. This is more than an investment in health; it is an investment in Nigeria’s future.”

Director, Policy, PSHAN, Dr Anne Adah-Ogoh, highlighting the significance of the commitment, said: “This commitment reflects PSHAN’s holistic approach to addressing reproductive health challenges. We are not only building facilities but also creating an enabling environment for transformative change. Together with private sector partners, we aim to redefine family planning access and strengthen Nigeria’s healthcare system.”

PSHAN is inviting private sector organisations to join this transformative mission. Through collaborative partnerships, innovative financing, and resource mobilisation, stakeholders can contribute meaningfully to Nigeria’s FP2030 goals.
