his report presents findings from the 2009 Nigeria End-of-Project Health Facility Survey. The
survey serves as the endline for the Community Participation for Action in the Social Sector
(COMPASS) Project. The survey was implemented in the local government areas (LGAs) in the
states of Bauchi, Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Kano, Lagos, and Nasarawa where COMPASS
is being implemented. COMPASS represents the integration of three previous U.S. Agency for
International Development (USAID/Nigeria) funded projects: VISION, BASICS, and LEAP.
The purpose of COMPASS is to enhance reproductive health and family planning services as
well as to promote child survival and improved literacy. The core idea behind COMPASS is to
integrate the health and education sectors through the promotion of community coalitions.
From a representative sample of men and women in the COMPASS target areas, the survey
obtained information on all health facilities reportedly used by the sample of respondents.
Information was collected on the facility background; vaccine logistic systems; child health
services; antenatal and postpartum care; newborn and delivery care; sexually transmitted
infection (STI) and voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) services; and select medications.
The objective of this report is to present a set of indicators that are used by COMPASS and
USAID for monitoring and evaluating program performance. Data from this end-of-project
survey will be used to measure changes in health service indicators in the LGAs served by the
COMPASS Project. Further, the results of the end-of-project survey may be used to redirect
efforts or increase levels of intervention in selected areas based on the needs and goals of the
health facilities in COMPASS project areas. Chapter 1 presents an overview of healthcare
facilities. Chapter 2 describes facility characteristics, including service provision, facility
amenities, outreach programs and infection prevention procedures. Chapter 3 provides
information on family planning (FP) services, and chapter 4, on antenatal and postpartum care.
Chapter 5 presents findings related to child health and vaccination services. Chapter 6 describes
STI and VCT services; while chapter 7 presents a comparison of the 2005 baseline survey and
the 2009 endline survey to assess the degree of change in selected health indicators. Findings
from the end-of-project school and household surveys are presented in separate reports.
