“…These results provide insights into the effect of religious beliefs on contraceptive use in rural Nigeria. Explicitly, the predominant religion in the Northern region of the country is Islam which highly disapproves of contraceptive use while the Catholic Christian denomination, which objects to the use of modern contraceptives, is prevalent in the South East Zone (Oye-Adeniran et al , 2005; Haggi, 2003).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the factors influencing the use of family planning and its link with multidimensional poverty in rural Nigeria. Design/methodology/approach The Alkire and Foster measure of poverty as well as the Logistic and Probit models were used to identify the factors influencing the use of family planning and its effect on the multidimensional poverty status of rural households in Nigeria. Findings The results indicate that 31.1 percent of rural households were poor with deprivations in health and education contributing the most to multidimensional poverty. The low use of contraception was closely linked to low level of literacy, lack of awareness of the different methods and high levels of poverty. The use of contraception reduced the level of poverty in the household. Social implications The intensity of poverty should be considered in the design of policies and programs. The wide and proper use of family planning is a sine qua non for any significant reduction in poverty. Potent and assertive family planning programs by government could be achieved through public-private sector partnership and assistance of international development partners. Originality/value This paper attempts to bridge the knowledge gap in the empirical literature on the link between multidimensional poverty and family planning. In particular`, its application to the rural context, often characterized by high rate of poverty and unmet needs for family planning employing nationally representative data is of immense value for social policy.

Previous studies by Ekewmpu [7] and Haggi [8], both from Zaria Northern Nigeria, showed an increase in the number of clients swapping from one method of contraceptive to another with a trend towards Norplant and injectable over the last 20 years. As Nigeria strives to achieve the goals of the millennium declaration particularly the reduction of maternal mortality, one of the key interventions is the promotion and usage of effective family planning services [9].…”
