In August 2009, Futures Group assessed the Nigerian National Health Insurance Scheme, looking at the extent to which the program was providing family planning services and reaching its target population of potential users. Our team identified a specific need for technical assistance in analyzing the costs of existing National Health Insurance pilot programs in six Nigerian states. Noting these findings, the program's Executive Secretary asked Futures Group to analyze the costs and results of funding disbursements from two of the pilot programs. The findings serve as a strong advocacy tool for boosting the effectiveness of family planning spending within insurance programs.  With wider dissemination, this information can mobilize broader political commitment and resources for family planning in Nigeria overall.
