Published purpose

This project aims to increase coverage of gender responsive sexual, reproductive, maternal and newborn child health (SRMNCH) services in target states in Nigeria. Project activities include: (1) developing and costing state-specific expansion strategies for the health insurance programs to include vulnerable groups; (2) building capacity of state and community groups to sensitize community members on health insurance programs; (3) enrolling vulnerable women, girls, and children under five into each targeted states’ health insurance programs; (4) establishing and implementing counterpart funding agreements with states’ governments to subsidize health services; and (5) developing state-specific health financing strategies. The project expects to reach 120,000 direct beneficiaries (women, girls and children under five years old), 500,000 indirect beneficiaries and 459 health facilities across six states.
