aSource: http://www.citypopulation.de/php/nigeria-admin.php. Population census data are only available at the full LGA level; urban areas are not delineated from nonurban areas. Therefore, for the purposes of this study, population estimates were only included for LGAs that are almost entirely urban. An LGA was considered to be almost entirely urban if the entire square kilometer area of the LGA minus the square kilometer area from which the SDP sample frame was taken within that LGA was <30 km2

bThe number of FP SDPs is based on SDP census data in the original SDP sample frame. The number of FP PMSs was estimated by multiplying the ratio of surveyed PMSs that sell FP by the total number of PMSs in the original SDP sample frame for each city. The same method was used to estimate the number of pharmacies that sell FP in Abuja and Kaduna
