“Cost-effectiveness analysis of Lafiya Nigeria intervention” by Rethink Priorities, Greer Gosnell, Jamie Elsey, Tom Hird

This is a link post. Lafiya Nigeria commissioned Rethink Priorities to conduct a detailed cost-effectiveness analysis of its intervention. It trains women health workers to provide family planning counseling and distribute an injectable contraceptive called Sayana Press in remote parts of rural northern Nigeria. The researchers also conducted uncertainty analysis of their findings using Monte Carlo simulations. Summary and Key Takeaways We model the near-term cost-effectiveness (2024-2025) of Lafiya Nigeria's (n.d.) intervention, in which they upskill trained female health workers to provide family planning counseling and distribute injectable contraceptives (Sayana Press, or DMPA-SC) to women in remote parts of rural northern Nigeria. We estimate that the cost-effectiveness of the intervention is $19 per unintended pregnancy averted at the beginning of 2024, falling to $7 per unintended pregnancy by the end of 2025 when approximately calibrating the model to the current and planned rate of intervention scaling.
