National Behaviour Change Strategy for Fistula Nigeria
Obstetric fistula (OF) is an abnormal opening between the vagina, bladder and/or rectum, often caused by prolonged obstructed labour and is marked by incontinence of urine, faeces or both (NSF 2019-2023).
It is closely and directly linked to maternal mortality and morbidity. Basically, there are two main types: (a) Vesicovaginal fistula (VVF) which is a situation in which the abnormal
an opening is between the bladder and the vagina resulting in continuous leakage of urine and, (b) Recto-vaginal fistula (RVF), which is a situation when the opening is between
the rectum and the vagina resulting in leakage of faeces.

CENTRALITY OF PROTECTION IN 2019 HUMANITARIAN PROGRAMME CYCLE
The 2019 Humanitarian Programme Cycle started by building consensus on the humanitarian situation and identifying the needs of the affected population to support the development of the 2019-2021 Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP). The Centrality of Protection was fully built into the process and the CtA used the opportunity to advocate for the consideration of GBV concerns in all sector plans e.g. WASH, shelter, distribution of Non-Food Items etc. The Centrality of Protection (CoP) recognizes GBV as one of four “key threats & risk trends”, hence the CtA Action areas align well with the CoP indicators to track progress so that CtA progress reports can feed into the CoP action plan reporting. Each of the 5 Outcome areas of the CtA road map is linked to at least 2 indicators of the CoP
