ABSTRACT
The lack of integrated M&E system makes it difficult to assess the effectiveness of HIV and family planning (FP) service integration. Since 2007, Nigeria integrated FP and HIV M&E systems. A pre-post survey compared the availability and use of FP-HIV integration M&E tools six months pre- and 12-months post-integration in 71 health facilities supported by the Global HIV/AIDS Initiative Nigeria (GHAIN). Pre-integration, four facilities (6%) had national FP registers, 32 (45%) had monthly aggregated FP data and 33 (46%) reported data up to national level. Post-integration, all (100%) facilities used national FP register with FP-HIV integration indicators, and reported data up to national level. Sixty six facilities (93%) had at least one monthly supervisory visit. Average number of FP clients per facility referred for HIV testing increased from five in the first month to 15 by month 12 post-integration. Leveraging resources of HIV programs improved significantly the monitoring of FP-HIV services integration.
