  2. Family Planning: Key to Addressing Poverty Reduction in Niger “Equality goes hand-in-hand with investments in education, economic opportunity, and reproductive health; and taken together, these are a powerful force for lifting millions out of poverty…” -- Kofi Annan, UN Secretary-General World Population Day, 2005 Photo Source: Jean-Luc Manaud, Courtesy of www.images.google.com

  3. Provide an overview, background, and/or rationale

  4. Overview • Meeting the MDGs and addressing poverty reduction through family planning • Current situation in Niger • Current challenges in providing FP • Cost savings across sectors by addressing FP • Key elements of FP in PRSPs

  5. “…investment in sexual and reproductive health is an integral part of achieving the MDGs and must be integrated in national development strategies to reduce poverty and promote human development.” ~ Jeffery Sachs, Director of the UN Millennium Project and Special Advisor to UN Secretary, Kofi Annan on the MDGs

  6. Education Health Environment Poverty reduction requires a multisectoral approach Poverty Reduction

  7. Education Health Environment FP is key to achieving multisectoral goals FP Poverty Reduction

  8. UN General Assembly Adopts Universal Access Target for Reproductive Health • 2006 Report: Public Choices, Private Decisions: Sexual and Reproductive Health and the Millennium Development Goals recognized: • Contribution of RH to addressing HIV/AIDS, gender, maternal and child health, and poverty • High unmet need in developing countries • A need to massively scale up and expand FP efforts • RH indicator adopted in October 2006 • Millennium Development Goal 5: “To reduce by three quarters the maternal mortality ratio”

  9. 2006 UN Millennium Challenge Report:Findings and Recommendations Findings • Lifetime risk of dying from pregnancy- and childbirth-related complications: • Sub-Saharan Africa: 1 out of 16 compared with • Developed countries: 1 out of 2800 • Providing safe, effective voluntary FP services prevents death and disability, spurs development, and fights poverty • Financial investment required to meet all RH needs is $36 billion/yr by 2015 Recommendations (illustrative) • Incorporate RH in both national poverty reduction strategies and health systems • Allocate enough funds for commodities, supplies, and logistics, while strengthening health systems

  10. State the problem(if available, show evidence of the problem)

  11. In Niger, 1 out of 7 women die during pregnancy or childbirth Photo Source: Save the Children Source: Population Action International – A World of Difference: Sexual and Reproductive Health Risks (2001)

  12. Niger’s Key Health and Demographic Indicators

  13. The number of women of reproductive age in Niger is large and growing Source: SPECTRUM 2.38 Projections, 2005

  14. The annual number of pregnancies in Niger will nearly double by 2020 Source: SPECTRUM 2.38 Projections

  15. A significant proportion of these pregnancies are unintended or mistimed Source: Calculations based on further analysis of 1998 Niger DHS

  16. Many women want to space or limit their births but do not use family planning Source: Niger DHS, 1998 Users defined as married women of reproductive age (MWRA) currently using contraception. Nonusers defined as MWRA who want to use family planning but are not currently doing so.

  17. The unmet need for family planning in Niger will result in more unintended pregnancies Source: SPECTRUM 2.38 Projections

  18. State the solution

  19. How can investing in FP benefit multisectoral goals?

  20. Meeting the unmet need for family planning in Niger will reduce unintended pregnancies Source: SPECTRUM 2.38 Projections

  21. Achieve universal primary education Ensure that by 2015, children everywhere, boys and girls alike, will be able to complete the course of primary schooling.

  22. MDG: Achieve universal primary education MDG Source: United Nations Statistics Division, Millennium Indicators Database, 2002 (Niger)

  23. Increased use of family planning means fewer children need to be enrolled in school in Niger to meet the MDG Source: Moreland and Talbird, 2006

  24. …which reduces the costs of meeting the universal primary education MDG $35.6 million Unit Cost = $52.40 per student Source: Moreland and Talbird, 2006

  25. Improve maternal mortality Reduce by two-thirds, between 1990 and 2015, the under-five mortality rate. Reduce by three-quarters, between 1990 and 2015, the maternal mortality ratio.

  26. The proportion of high-risk births is large • Delay pregnancy until age 18 or when intended • Adequately space births • Limit the number of pregnancies Family planning helps: Source: Niger DHS, 1998

  27. MDG: Reduce the MMR by 75% MDG Source: United Nations Statistics Division, Millennium Indicators Database, 2002 (Niger)

  28. Fulfilling unmet need saves lives by reducing the number of maternal deaths 6,821 deaths averted Source: Moreland and Talbird, 2006

  29. Reducing the number of unintended births generates cost savings for maternal health $30.5 m Unit Cost = $35.90 per birth Source: Moreland and Talbird, 2006

  30. Ensure environmental sustainability By 2015, reduce by half the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water and sanitation.

  31. MDG: Reduce by half the proportion of people without access to safe drinking water and sanitation MDG Source: United Nations Statistics Division, Millennium Indicators Database, 2002 (Niger)

  32. Fulfilling unmet need reduces the number of people in Niger needing safe water and sanitation Source: Moreland and Talbird, 2006

  33. The costs of achieving the safe water and sanitation goals are reduced by fulfilling unmet need Unit Cost= $4.60 per beneficiary Source: Moreland and Talbird, 2006

  34. Investing in FP results in cost savings for meeting the MDGs • Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger • Achieve universal primary education • Promote gender equality and empower women • Reduce child mortality • Improve maternal health • Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other diseases • Ensure environmental sustainability • Develop a global partnership for development

  35. Investing in FP results in cost savings for meeting the MDGs • Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger • Achieve universal primary education • Promote gender equality and empower women • Reduce child mortality • Improve maternal health • Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other diseases • Ensure environmental sustainability • Develop a global partnership for development

  36. Summary of Cumulative Savings by Fulfilling Unmet Need for Family Planning in Niger (2005-2015)

  37. The additional costs of reducing unmet need for family planning in Niger are offset by MDG cost savings by 2015 Net Savings = $63.3

  38. Summarize the supporting points you have just described

  39. Education Health Environment FP contributes to poverty reduction FP Poverty Reduction

  40. Reveal the “ask” or the action you would like the target audience to take

  41. Explicitly Address FP, Including Commodities, in Your PRSP • Develop concrete strategies for FP • Include a performance indicator for increased availability of contraceptive supplies • Track key FP indicators to demonstrate the impact of including FP and commodities in the PRSP • Create a budget line item for the provision of FP supplies
