AB  - Pregnancy and childbirth are important periods when women of reproductive age 
      frequently come in contact with healthcare facilities and providers. These 
      periods afford them the privilege for discussion and decision on post-partum 
      family planning with healthcare providers. Male partner consent has been shown to 
      have a positive impact on access and uptake of modern contraception. This study 
      was aimed at assessing the availability, uptake and male partner consent for 
      post-partum family planning (PPFP) amongst rural and semi-urban dwellers in 
      Afikpo North local government area of Ebonyi state, Nigeria. The study conducted 
      on 205 postpartum women, 40 health workers at the primary health centres (PHCs) 
      and traditional birth attendants (TBAs) in Afikpo North LGA were selected by a 
      random sampling technique. Information was obtained via 3 categories of 
      interviewer-administered questionnaire for the different categories of 
      individuals involved in the study. Data analyses was done using SPSS version 
      21.0. The overall findings showed a high prevalence of grand multiparity (51.2%) 
      and child-bearing at extremities of reproductive age (20.5%) despite generally 
      good awareness of modern contraception (92.7%) and availability of family 
      planning services and modern birth control methods in all the PHC facilities. Of 
      note is that a good percentage of the women received antenatal care (38.1%) or 
      had their last delivery at TBAs places (42.4%) despite the fact that only 60% of 
      the TBAs are aware of modern family planning methods and none of them offer 
      family planning services. The prevalence of modern contraceptive usage was 41.5% 
      and the male partner consent was present in 72.9% of modern contraceptive users. 
      Despite high level of awareness and availability of modern family planning 
      services, the TBAs should be more sensitized in order to improve the uptake of 
      PPFP.
