Strengthening primary healthcare across northern Nigeria
Data. Innovation. Impact. Nexacare delivers across seven programmatic pillars in ten northern Nigerian states, alongside Federal, State, and Local Government counterparts.
Seven years. Ten states.
Delivering across seven pillars.
Each pillar carries its own Standard Operating Procedure, technical lead, and quality posture.
Primary Healthcare & Immunization Services
Strengthen integrated primary health care platforms to deliver equitable, high-quality immunization and essential child survival interventions. We work to expand fixed, outreach, and mobile RI strategies targeting zero-dose and under-immunized children in hard-to-reach settlements. Service delivery is optimized through microplanning, defaulter tracking systems, and integration with nutrition and MNCH services. We strengthen cold chain functionality, vaccine visibility and accountability, and last-mile tracking mechanisms. Supportive supervision and mentorship improve provider performance and data quality. Community-linked service delivery enhances immunizations and other PHC service uptake.
Malaria Programs
Implement evidence-based malaria prevention and control interventions with emphasis on high-burden and underserved populations. Core strategies include integrated community case management (iCCM), ITN distribution and utilization, and IPTp scale-up for pregnant women. We strengthen diagnostic accuracy through RDT quality assurance systems, following the World Health Organization (WHO) recommendation of ‘test before treat.’ Data-driven microplanning guides commodity allocation and targeting. Surveillance systems track morbidity, mortality, and intervention coverage across targeted communities. Community health worker platforms optimize early diagnosis and treatment adherence according to WHO guidelines.
Maternal & Child Health (MNCH)
Deliver integrated MNCH interventions across antenatal, intrapartum, and postnatal care platforms to reduce preventable maternal and child mortality. We strengthen skilled birth attendance, emergency obstetric and neonatal care (EmONC), and postnatal follow-up systems. Integration with immunization and nutrition services ensures continuum of care. We strengthen the expansion of access to sexual and reproductive health (SRH) through healthcare financing in the country. We manage the last mile of family planning commodities and strengthen accountability and commodity security. Capacity building for frontline health workers ensures quality family planning services, improving clinical decision-making and referral systems. Demand generation addresses barriers to ANC attendance and facility delivery. Quality improvement approaches enhance service readiness and patient safety.
Health Systems Strengthening
Enhance resilience and efficiency of health systems through governance, financing, workforce development, and supply chain optimization. We will support evidence-based planning, budgeting, and resource allocation at national and subnational levels. Human resource capacity will be strengthened through mentorship, task shifting, and performance management systems. Commodity security will be improved through triangulations of LMIS and HMIS. We will promote integrated supportive supervision and accountability frameworks. Policy engagement will support alignment with national and donor strategic priorities.
Digital Health, Data Systems & Analytics
Strengthen interoperable digital health systems to improve real-time data capture, analysis, and decision-making. We enhance routine health information systems, including DHIS2 data quality, completeness, and timeliness. Digital tools support immunization tracking, outbreak detection, and commodity monitoring. We deploy dashboards for program performance monitoring at facility, LGA, and state levels. Data analytics informs improved microplanning, targeting, and resource optimization. Capacity building focuses on fostering a data use culture among frontline health workers, local health authorities, and state stakeholders.
Health Security, Surveillance & Emergency Response
Strengthen integrated disease surveillance and outbreak response systems aligned with IHR (2005) requirements. We enhance early warning systems for epidemic-prone diseases through community informants and facility-based surveillance. Rapid response teams are trained and deployed for timely outbreak investigation and to inform response planning. Laboratory linkage systems improve confirmatory testing and reporting of priority diseases according to integrated disease surveillance and response (IDSR). Risk communication and incident management structures are institutionalized for each outbreak response and containment plan. We coordinate with national and international partners to ensure timely and effective emergency response activities.
Community Engagement & SBC
Drive sustained health-seeking behavior through evidence-based social and behavior change strategies. We actively engage community leaders, religious institutions, women and youth groups, and influential community members to strengthen trust and increase service uptake. SBC interventions systematically address demand-side barriers, enhancing acceptance of immunization, MNCH services, and malaria prevention measures. Participatory approaches, including structured community dialogue platforms, promote accountability and local ownership of health initiatives. Communication strategies leverage interpersonal communication, mass media, and digital channels to ensure consistent and targeted messaging. Continuous community feedback loops inform adaptive programming, improve service responsiveness, and strengthen alignment with community needs and expectations.
