Nigeria (2008): Report of the Baseline Survey on Knowledge, Attitude, Practice, Coverage and Quality of Coverage of the Female Condom in Nigeria

The study was aimed at obtaining information on knowledge of the female condom among men and women in Edo, Delta and Lagos States. The study locations were purposively selected based on the following reasons. Firstly, these states are associated with high contraceptive prevalence rates. Furthermore, the need for family planning services as well as AIDS prevention is high in these states. To be able to carry out the interventions effectively, these states were selected due to the existence of strong CBOs, Oxfam Novib partners such as Girls Power Initiative (GPI) and Lift Above Poverty Organisation (LAPO). Above all, the states were selected based on their relatively high population and high number of HIV infections.
