EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report presents findings from the 2009 Nigeria end-of-project primary school survey among
headmasters and teachers. The survey serves as the endline for the Community Participation for
Action in the Social Sector Project (COMPASS). The survey was implemented in local
government areas (LGAs) in the states of Bauchi, Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Kano, Lagos,
and Nasarawa where the COMPASS Project was implemented. COMPASS represents an
integration of three previous projects funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development
mission in Nigeria (USAID/Nigeria): VISION, BASICS, and LEAP. The purpose of COMPASS
was to enhance reproductive health and family planning services, as well as to promote child
survival and improved literacy. The core idea behind COMPASS was to integrate the health,
child survival, and education sectors through the promotion of community coalitions.
