Final Evaluation of Govt-UNICEF Health-HIV Country Program Component 2018-2022 in Nigeria
Overview
Nigeria is the first African country that has completed an independent comprehensive evaluation of SDG3 in 2021, from which sound evidence has revealed that Nigeria is unlikely to achieve the global agenda of SDG3 by 2030 if the current low level of health public financing, weak capacity of local governance of PHC and huge household out of pocket payment for health services remain the same.
Despite tremendous efforts made by Government, States, Development partners and local authorities to improve maternal and child health through genuine policies, innovative strategies & public investments, Nigeria still carrying the biggest worldwide burden of child and maternal deaths before India. Under-Five Mortality Rate and MMR are estimated during the last Demographic Health Survey 2018 respectively around 132 under-five deaths for 1,000 live births and 512 maternal deaths for 100,000 live births.
To reverse the problem, UNICEF developed and signed with the Government of Nigeria, and in synergy with UN agencies and development partners, a five-year Country Program 2018-2022 (CPD 2018-2022). Within the scope of this CPD, the Health-HIV/AIDS program in Child Survival and Development results area, is the top five biggest key program components. The Goal of Health-HIV/AIDS program is to ‘’ensure the right of children to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health, to survive and thrive’’.
More specifically, the Health-HIV/AIDS CPD component 2018-2022 aimed to achieve following expected outcomes: i) Children, adolescents and women have equitable access to and use improved and quality, high-impact maternal, neonatal and child health interventions and adopt healthy life practices; ii) Increased access to PMCT of Children, adolescents, women.
This first independent evaluation of CPD Health-HIV serve as evidence-based programming of the next CPD & National Health Development Plan 2023-27 & evidence-based policy advocacy for SDG3.
