Filter by:Sub-Saharan African women continue to face socio-economic challenges and limited reproductive freedoms, which diminishes their ability to exercise agency and choice in their lives and their environment. The goal of this study is to generate rigorous scientific evidence on empowering women individually and in households through a cluster randomized control trial. The trial will test the efficacy of a multi-sectoral program targeting three critical domains of female empowerment through gender socialization education, counseling and improved access to family planning, financial literacy among couples in Ibadan, Nigeria. The innovation in this approach is the focus on creating a supportive intra-familial environment to accelerate progress towards female empowerment, not just with the multi-sectoral intervention, but also by targeting both partners of couples, individually and together. It is hoped that there will be a shift of broader community norms by building the capacity of study couples to transfer their newly acquired knowledge and skills to other couples in their community, thereby creating a ripple of change.

Many women and men in fertile age are at risk for sexual transmitted infections and unwanted pregnancies, and have insufficient knowledge of health promoting lifestyle prior to conception. There is a need to increase awareness among people in fertile age about how sexual risk-taking and unhealthy lifestyle can negatively affect fertility and pregnancy outcomes. Previous studies on preconception health and care have mainly focused on women. The aim of our study was to investigate if Reproductive Life Plan-based counseling with a midwife could increase men's reproductive knowledge. The second aim was to evaluate men's experiences of the intervention.
