The Power of Stakeholder Engagement: Pilot-Testing the Administration of Injectable Contraceptives by Patent Medicine Vendors in Nigeria Salisu Ishaku, Evidence Project, Population Council International Conference on Family Planning January 26, 2016

Background CPR for modern methods – 10% for two decades Most popular: Injectable contraceptives 30% of contraceptive use (NDHS, 2013) Poor access for many women To improve coverage and access, community-based options are needed

Patent Medicine Stores (PMS) Community’s first point of contact for health care Patent Medicine Vendors (PMVs) are licensed to sell patent and proprietary drugs Are an integral part of the private sector, providing 60% of FP services

Advantages of PMS Open 7 days a week Easily accessible Short waiting time Services are simple and cheaper than the formal health center

PMVs and Injectables Current regulations do not permit PMVs to sell or administer injectables because of lack of training. Can only refer clients. Yet some PMVs are selling and administering injectables in response to high demand.

Our Study: Can PMVs play a larger role in meeting women’s demand for injectables?

Objective: Determine the feasibility of PMVs to: Original sell counsel refer for administration all injectables, including Sayana Press Expanded: sell counsel refer administer all injectables, including Sayana Press How did we build support to expand our study to include administration of injectables by PMVs?

Engagement Process 1 st Step: Get Protocol Approved Required approval by the National Reproductive Health Technical Working Group (RH TWG) RH TWG encouraged expanding the study to include administration of injectables

2 nd Step: Gain Stakeholder Buy-in to Expand Protocol Stakeholders Meeting Co-sponsored w/FMoH – 23 attendees Champions favored task shifting Detractors skeptical of PMV’s capabilities Evidence presented for piloting PMV administration Received overwhelming support despite initial skepticism

…and the study? Protocol revised and resubmitted to and approved by various review boards Study underway in 2 states; will be completed in October 2016 FMoH asked us to develop and coordinate PMV training - 80 PMVs in each state being trained, supervised, mentored, and monitored Also exit interviews and follow-up of clients

Program Implications/Lessons Value of stakeholders’ engagement and dialogue cannot be overstressed. They identified potential administrative and implementation bottlenecks and pathways for results utilization. USAID considering scaling up the study to 4 more states. Study evolved to have potentially greater impact on how FP services are delivered and in meeting the national 2018 mCPR goal of 36%.
