Adolescent Girls' Agency in an Integrated Sexual and Reproductive Health and Economic Empowerment Intervention Pilot
INTRODUCTION: Adolescence is a time of unique vulnerability for many girls, however, when supported to strengthen their capabilities, resources, and agency, adolescents can thrive even in adverse situations. This study sought to evaluate agency outcomes (decision-making power, mobility, and self-efficacy) among girls aged 15-19 participating in integrated sexual and reproductive health and economic empowerment interventions in Ethiopia and Nigeri…
Influence of household wealth status on transactional sex and condom use among Nigerian youth
Globally, despite the increasing social and economic interventions to achieve better health behavior outcomes for the younger generation, the rising rate of engagement in risky sexual behaviors (RSBs) among young people is alarming, particularly in developing countries. This could be attributed to households’ wealth conditions that contribute to poor access to sexual and reproductive health services. This study investigates the influence of house…
Covid-19 challenges and pregnancy desire among married/ in-union women in Kano and Lagos States, Nigeria
This study examined the influence of COVID-19-induced challenges on pregnancy desire among married/in-union women of reproductive age in Lagos and Kano states, Nigeria. The performance monitoring for action (PMA) data were analysed using descriptive statistics and multilevel regression. About 12% of women desired no pregnancy; 43% would feel happy and unhappy respectively, if pregnancy occurred during the pandemic, while 13.9% would have mixed fe…
Childhood exposure to armed conflict and nutritional health outcomes in Nigeria
Childhood exposure to armed conflict is associated with long-term malnutrition in children aged 36-59 months in Nigeria. Strategies that aim to end childhood malnutrition could target children exposed to armed conflicts
Socio-economic Correlates of Marital Status and Marriage Timing Among Adult Men in Nigeria
There is a gradual tendency towards prolonged bachelorhood among men in Nigeria. Studies have linked this to socio-economic factors, but this evidence is sparsely explored in the context of Nigeria. Hence, this study fills the knowledge gap. The 2016/17 Nigeria Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey data of 7803 adult men (aged 18-34 years) was analysed by using descriptive and fitting binary logitic regression and Cox regression models. Results show …
Examining vulnerability and resilience in maternal, newborn and child health through a gender lens in low-income and middle-income countries
INTRODUCTION: Gender lens application is pertinent in addressing inequities that underlie morbidity and mortality in vulnerable populations, including mothers and children. While gender inequities may result in greater vulnerabilities for mothers and children, synthesising evidence on the constraints and opportunities is a step in accelerating reduction in poor outcomes and building resilience in individuals and across communities and health syst…

Baby Factories in Nigeria
Baby factories and baby harvesting are relatively new terms that involve breeding, trafficking, and abuse of infants and their biological mothers. Since it was first described in a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization report in Nigeria in 2006, several more baby factories have been discovered over the years. Infertile women are noted to be major patrons of these baby factories due to the stigmatization of childless cou…
Rejection of the Gender and Equal Opportunities Bill in Nigeria
Purpose Achieving gender equality and empowering all women and girls is the fifth Sustainable Development Goal (SDG). This continues the effort of the third Millennium Development Goal (MDG), which was “to promote gender equality and empower all women”. In Nigeria, a Gender and Equal Opportunities Bill had been under consideration in the Nigerian Senate since 2010 to be enacted as a Nigerian law as part of effort toward MDG 3. After six years, th…
Trends in the completeness of birth registration in Nigeria
Nigeria is a signatory to the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which identifies birth registration as a childâ s right. However, it is unclear how much progress has been made toward attaining universal birth registration in the country
Rethinking HIV prevalence determination in developing countries
The process for HIV prevalence determination using antenatal clinic (ANC) sentinel surveillance data has been plagued by criticisms of its biasness. Exploring other means of HIV prevalence determination is necessary to validate that estimates are near actual values or to replace the current system. We propose a data collection model that leverages the increasing adoption and penetration of the Internet and mobile technology to collect and archive…
