la République fédérale du Nigéria

Nigeria has a dynamic economy and a large, rapidly growing population. Although maternal mortality rates have fallen, overall maternal deaths remain high, while contraceptive prevalence is low and teenage pregnancy is widespread. UNFPA programmes focus on improving maternal and newborn health, combating fistula and providing access to sexual and reproductive health services for young people. Family planning measures aim to broaden access to high-quality services and to improve management of contraceptives. Other efforts assist in producing key demographic data for development planning.
