Datametrics led the endline evaluation of a GAC-funded Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights, and Gender Based Violence project in Borno State. The endline evaluation was based on a cross-sectional study approach to elicit information on performance, lessons, and achievement using both qualitative and quantitative methodologies.

The final Sample size per LGA was 404 including a 5% non-response rate. The endline evaluation was conducted among 810 respondents, comprising of 376 (46.4%) males and 434 (53.8%) females.

The number of pregnant women who had two and

three ANC visits was higher compared to baseline. Home delivery reduced from 47.5% in baseline to 21.0% at the endline. Recent use of contractive was higher at endline compared to baseline. Overall, about 41% of respondents reported having used contraceptives a few days to

one week before the endline evaluation compared to 13.9% who reported contractive use at baseline. Among female respondents, the ability to say no to a partner’s requests for sex increased at the endline

compared to baseline. While 38.3% of female respondents reported being able to say no to sex at baseline, 58.3% gave a similar report at the end. Furthermore, among female respondents, the ability to ask their partner to use a condom was higher at the endline, compared to the baseline.

The project has increased awareness of SRHR and GBV and access to information and services compared to the pre-intervention period
