On-the-ground Research
As part of our commitment to rigorous evidence, we administer surveys to our target audience before and after our pilot to assess our impact on usage, adherence, and attitudes toward family planning.
-
Keystone Pilot Project
Six-month-long pilot campaign in Jigawa, Nigeria encompassing a training curriculum, technology-driven monitoring services, and the distribution of 2400 doses of contraceptive to rural users.
-
Stakeholder Engagement
Connecting with local stakeholders, including state governments and health advisors to generate demand for contraceptive use and to dispel misinformation around the topic.
Cost-effectiveness
Our analysis suggests that considering maternal health benefits alone, we can avert one DALY for $67 next year and $46 at scale with successful implementation.
The at-scale cost-effectiveness is competitive with GiveWell's top charities. We can save a mother’s life for $3,356 (next year) and $2,325 (at scale).
Meanwhile, there are other benefits to our intervention. Every dollar spent on access to contraception leads to a $120 ROI of social, economic, and environmental benefits. This makes it 24x more efficient than investing in girls’ education ($5 ROI).
Operations in the past year have concentrated on Jigawa and Kebbi. In early 2024 we expanded to Sokoto - all of which are located in northern Nigeria.
These states suffer from a high unmet need for family planning and are facing frequent stockouts of contraceptives.
Our partner organisation, NANA, has also previously worked in those states, which helps us build relationships with local communities based on years of trust.
