The Centre for Research, Evaluation Resources and Development (CRERD) is a non-profit, non­ governmental organization concerned with improving the understanding and delivery of population and health services and environmental development in Nigeria and other countries in Africa. CRERD, led by Principal Investigator Dr. Elizabeth Omoluabi and Co-Principal Investigator Dr. Funmilola OlaOlorun, completed five rounds of the PMA2020 family planning survey in Nigeria between 2014 and 2018. Since 2019, Dr. Musa Sani Zakirai and Dr. Funmilola OlaOlorun are co-PIs of the project and Dr. Omoluabi is Senior Technical Adviser. The PMA Abortion module was added in 2018 to measure abortion incidence.  

 

Nigeria was one of three sites for development of the Womens’ and Girls’ Empowerment module. PMA Agile data were collected in three urban areas from facilities and clients.
