Background & Project Description:

II. BACKGROUND

Nigeria continues to face persistent challenges in achieving universal access to sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), particularly for women and adolescent girls. Maternal mortality remains high, contraceptive prevalence is low, adolescent fertility and child marriage persist, and harmful gender norms continue to undermine women’s autonomy and access to services. These challenges are exacerbated by regional disparities, with northern states bearing a disproportionate burden of poor SRHR outcomes.

To respond to these challenges, UNFPA, with funding from the Government of Norway, has been implementing the project “Advancing Access to Comprehensive Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights of Adolescent Girls and Women in Nigeria” since 2023, with a no-cost extension requested to June 2026. The project operates in Gombe, Kaduna and Akwa Ibom States, strengthening SRHR service delivery systems, supporting adolescent empowerment, addressing harmful practices, and promoting gender-transformative social norm change.

An endline evaluation is being undertaken to assess the project’s performance, results, and contribution to UNFPA’s transformative results and national SRHR priorities. The evaluation will be conducted by an International Consultant (Team Leader) supported by a National Consultant, who will play a critical role in contextual analysis, field engagement, gender analysis, and interpretation of findings.
