UNFPA in Nigeria - Quarterly Newsletter 02
This quarter, UNFPA activities in Nigeria were youth centered, from the launch of the national response to eliminate Female Genital Mutilation to the global technology platform developed to promote access to comprehensive reproductive health education and the multi-sectoral youth programming in Cross Rivers State; the Fund has been relentless in ensuring that every young person's potential is fulfilled. UNFPA also urged the quick adoption of the rejected “gender and equal opportunities bill” when it is reintroduced to the Nigerian Senate.

UNFPA et l'Association des Chefs Traditionnels du Niger (ACTN) ont signé un partenariat pour des séances de sensibilisation sur les thématiques de UNFPA (Mortalité maternelle, Mariage des enfants, Dividende démographique).

Depuis 2012, chaque fin d'année, nous nous réunissons avec eux pour faire le bilan des activités menées et programmer celles de l'année suivante.
Midwives committed to the abandonment of FGM!
Female genital mutilation (FGM) comprises all procedures involving partial or total removal of the external female genitalia or other injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons.
Midwives play a key role not only in averting maternal and newborn deaths, but also in promoting good health in communities as a whole. FGM is a deeply entrenched cultural practice and many midwives face significant social pressure from the community to perform it. Midwives are however ill equipped to resist this pressure because the majority of midwives have not received formal training and education on FGM.
Reducing Risks and Improving Safe Childbirth in Nigeria
With a Maternal Mortality Ratio of 576 per 100,000 live births, Nigeria contributes the largest number of deaths in Africa. Everyday, there is a 1 in 13 lifetime risk of maternal mortality and 111 women die daily from pregnancy and childbirth complications, with over 41, 000 dying to preventable causes that could be averted if basic quality health care was accessible.
