This technical brief describes the E2A Project’s interventions in Akwa Ibom state, Nigeria, for first-time mothers, which were part of a task-sharing program that trained Community Health Extension Workers to provide implants and injectables at health facilities. The interventions were implemented in collaboration with the Akwa Ibom State Ministry of Health (SMOH) from October 2015 to September 2016.
