Datametrics led the data analysis and report writing for the baseline evaluation of the Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights, and Gender-Based Violence project in Borno State. The evaluation involved the administration of a KAP questionnaire covering SRHR and GBV to randomly selected men, women, boys, and girls in project communities in Dikwa and Bama LGAs in Borno State. Focus Group Discussions (FGD) were conducted with girls, boys, men, and women groups, and Key Informant Interviews (KII) were conducted with community members, representatives of security agencies, camp coordinators, and health facility staff.

A total of 3112 respondents were interviewed during the study, comprising 43.5% males, and 56.4% females.

About 13% of women aged 15-49 made their own informed decisions regarding sexual relations, contraceptive use, and reproductive health care. Overall, 28.8% of respondents from both LGAs received delivery kits. About 43% of respondents already belonged to a Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) related group. Men were perceived as decision-makers and expected to make decisions concerning contraceptive use and health-seeking as well. Abortion was considered morally and religiously forbidden. The general opinion was that contraceptives are for married women only and not for single girls. Health facilities have staffs with the capacity to provide family planning services, post-abortion care, and HIV testing and treatment services as well as meet the needs of survivors of GBV but are often stocked out of major treatment commodities.
