Women’s Health Advocacy Scoping Assessment
This project was supported by BMGF and implemented Lagos, Kaduna, Kano and national level, from 2023 to 2024. It utilized mixed methods and engaged over 150 stakeholders across the project states to explore the context of women’s health advocacy and collective action and provided evidence around barriers and models of women’s health joint advocacy and collective action in Nigeria.
It developed a stakeholder directory (dashboard) that serves as a veritable for identifying and reaching the stakeholders (individuals and organizations) working around women’s health advocacy in the respective states. Building on the evidence thereof, the project designed a hybrid model of women’s health joint advocacy, aligning with the Sector Wide Approach to health programming (SWAp) of the New Health Sector Renewal Investment Program in Nigeria.
The evidence from this research is currently supporting investors and programmers in shaping the SWAp agenda of Nigeria’s health sector especially health promotion, social accountability and collective action.
