Malaria Consortium is one of the world\u2019s leading non-profit organisations specialising in the comprehensive prevention, control and treatment of malaria and other communicable diseases among vulnerable and under privileged populations.

Country and Project Background<\/strong>
\nIn Nigeria, many women of child bearing age (44,000) and children under-five (940,000) die annually from preventable and treatable causes (UNICEF\/WHO 2012). While the trends show that Nigeria has made progress since the 1990s in reducing under-five and maternal mortality rates, the country remains the second largest contributor to under-five and maternal deaths in the world (UNICEF 2018).<\/p>\n

Niger State Government is committed to improving her health sector and articulated this in the state health plan and adoption of \u2018primary health care under one roof\u2019 policy to reduce fragmentation of services and to bring their management under one authority. The state leadership is also committed to increasing the number of primary health care centres in compliance with the national standards by having a focal health centre per ward.<\/p>\n

Niger State Government has also entered into a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) to strengthen its primary health care (PHC) system. The BMGF component of the MoU is delivered through technical assistance (TA) grants implemented by other partners with a focus on strengthening leadership and governance of health services, health care financing, human-resources for health, health information management, access to affordable medical products, service delivery and community engagement in health service delivery.<\/p>\n

Malaria Consortium has recently received a BMGF four (4) year grant to provide \u2018wraparound\u2019 technical assistance for implementation of the community based health service delivery component of the state plan through harmonizing and integration of the various health service interventions at the community level including maternal and child health services.<\/p>\n
