The purpose of this project is to improve state and local health governance and capacity in the states of Bauchi and Cross River. This is achieved through the development of an effective gender-sensitive health information system that is used to plan and improve primary health care services for citizens. In particular, the project aims to strengthen the reliability, consistency, and availability of gender-sensitive health data; increase participation and engagement by community members (women and men) in health services and health planning; strengthen institutional capacity to plan, budget, and deliver primary health care services; and strengthen local ownership and understanding of the project, to explore the potential of extending it into other states.
