INTRODUCTION

The Self - Care Accelerator Project (SCAP) aims at accelerating country-led progress towards achieving universal health coverage by promoting the use and scale-up of self-care interventions. Building on current momentum around Self Injection and DMPA-SC to accelerate the National Self-Care agenda in Nigeria, its focus is to accelerate and institutionalize implementation of the self-care guidelines in Nigeria, identify policy and regulatory bottlenecks to inform interventions and advocacy for the scale up of self-care in Nigeria, support development and execution of the national self-care sub-committee work plan and serve as an exemplar and share lessons to inform global programming in self-care.

CONCEPT  

Available record reveals that Nigeria population is growing at a rate of 2.4%/year as the most populous country in Africa the population is estimated to be over 200 million. While, the country`s reproductive health indices are improving more effort needs to be put in place to address these SRMH problems. The National Reproductive Health policy was approved in 2010 by the Federal Government of Nigeria, with the goal of ensuring availability and access to full sexual and reproductive health information and quality services of country`s effort in addressing the reproductive health issues, the National Reproductive Health policy was approved in 2010 by the Federal Government of Nigeria, with the goal of ensuring availability and access to full sexual and reproductive health information and quality services.
