Description
This opportunity aims to expand global health security in Nigeria by strengthening the International Health Regulations (IHR, 2005) capacities of the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (NCDC), relevant government ministries, departments, and agencies (MDAs), and sub-national public health institutions. The program focuses on improving health systems, workforce management, and multisectoral collaboration to enhance Nigeria's ability to detect and respond to health threats at both national and local levels. The initiative builds on recent progress identified in Nigeria's Joint External Evaluation but seeks to address remaining gaps in preparedness and response.
