This initiative aims to build a robust roster of local partners for future collaborative programming, capacity strengthening, and potential sub-grants in designated Nigerian states.

- Driving contraception and family planning awareness, demand generation, and referral services.
- Providing safe abortion-related care and post-abortion care information and referral within Nigerian legal frameworks.
- Preventing and responding to sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV), including survivor support and referrals.
