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. The Policy does this by seeking to address key issues it identifies, including: low funding, inadequate human resources, poor integration of maternal and family planning services, the high cost of commodities at service delivery points, limited efforts at family planning demand creation, high unmet need for family planning, inadequately equipped facilities, and lack of linkages between adolescent reproductive health (ARH) services and the regular health service delivery system, poor coordination of ARH at state levels together with quality issues in STI/HIV/AIDS services, and limited activities in the areas of reproductive cancers, andropause and menopause
