Residence, age, level of education, religion, occupation and partner's education were found to be associated with women's decision-making about sexual intercourse, condom use and reproductive health decision-making index. This study contributes to the discourse on reproductive health decision-making in Africa. Policies and intervention targeted at improving women's autonomy and empowering them to take charge of their sexual and reproductive health issues should be focused on these factors.
