Planned Parenthood Federation of Nigeria (PPFN) is the main organization in Nigeria
working on providing effective sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services.

Established in 1984, PPFN caters for about 10 per cent of family planning in Nigeria.

Other services provided include:

• infertility diagnosis and counseling
• voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) of HIV
• post-abortion care
• antenatal and post-natal care
• education and counseling on sexually transmitted infections including HIV/AIDS
• pregnancy testing

Besides offering these services to our target population of sex workers, female students, marketers, and people living with HIV/AIDS; PPFN trains our volunteers and staff, as well as staff of other agencies on the delivery of these services.

We have established a clinic to cater specifically for people living with HIV/AIDS.

We run community outreach visits conducted by peer educators in workplaces, markets and village centres.

PPFN is also a member of PACNet, a network of
organizations advocating for safe abortion, positive policies and laws.

In 2006, 253,951 clients, of which 245,063 were poor, marginalized or socially excluded, were served in PPFN clinics and outreach visits.

PPFN benefits from government grants.

The high maternal mortality rate of 800, modern contraceptive prevalence of 8 per cent,
and HIV prevalence of 3 per cent among men and 4.7 percent among females, are some
of the continuing challenges PPFN has to deal with.
