PROGRAM OVERVIEW 1.1 Introduction The Maternal and Child Survival Program (MSCP) is a global U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) cooperative agreement to introduce and support high-impact health interventions in 24 priority countries, including Nigeria, with the ultimate goal of ending preventable maternal and child deaths (EPCMD) within a generation. MCSP engages governments, policymakers, private sector leaders, health care providers, civil society, faith-based organizations, and communities in adopting and accelerating proven approaches to address the major causes of maternal, newborn, and child mortality such as postpartum hemorrhage (PPH), birth asphyxia, and diarrhea, respectively, and to improve the quality of health services from the household to the hospital. The program will tackle these issues through approaches that focus on health systems strengthening, household, and community mobilization, gender integration, and eHealth, among others. MCSP has launched multiple activities in Nigeria. These include a routine immunization (RI) technical assistance program in Bauchi and Sokoto states, a project aimed at reducing neonatal and maternal deaths in Kogi and Ebonyi states, a public-private partnership through the Mobile Alliance for Maternal Action (MAMA), and a child health program that is currently under development. In line with MCSP’s contractual agreement with USAID and close partnership with the State Primary Health Care Development Agency (SPHCDA) and other public and private partners, MCSP-RI program assistance aims to strengthen the RI system to increase and sustain RI coverage and reduce childhood illness and death. USAID MCSP’s RI program is now fully operational at the national level (in Abuja), and in Bauchi and Sokoto states. The MCSP/Nigeria RI program’s life of program objectives in Bauchi and Sokoto states are as follows: Bauchi • Objective 1: Support State-led and State-owned efforts to achieve >50% RI coverage in every ward of Bauchi State by the end of December 2016, and >80% RI coverage in every ward of Bauchi State by the end of December 2017. • Objective 2: Support State-led and State-owned efforts to expand the availability and quality of RI services by providing technical assistance in the areas of capacity building and training, supportive supervision, monitoring and use of data, supply/cold chain, and community engagement. • Objective 3: Promote the transition of all responsibility for sustaining and building on these gains to Bauchi State by January 2018, by improving capacity to promote, deliver, and monitor RI services at the State, Local Government Area (LGA), health facility (health facility), and community levels. Sokoto In close coordination and collaboration with state and other RI partners, MCSP will: • Objective 1: Support state-led and state-owned efforts to achieve >80 percent RI coverage in every ward by the end of December 2018. • Objective 2: Support state-led and state-owned efforts to expand the availability and quality of RI services by providing technical assistance in the areas of capacity building and training, supportive supervision, monitoring and use of data, supply/cold chain, and community partnership. 3 | Page • Objective 3: Promote the transition of all responsibility for sustaining and building on these gains to the State by January 2019, by improving capacity to promote, deliver, and monitor RI services at the state, LGA, health facility, and community levels. MCSP has been supporting implementation of the Bauchi State Primary Health Care Development Agency’s

  • Proof of Influence Evaluation of the Nigeria Evidence‐Based Health System Initiative (NEHSI)
    Proof of Influence Evaluation of the Nigeria Evidence‐based Health System Initiative (NEHSI) Commissioned by the Evaluation Sub-Committee of the Project Advisory Committee and the Governance for Equity in Health Programme, The International Development Research Centre, Canada. Report written by the Evaluation Technical Advisory Committee (Muhammed M Lecky (IDRC-NEHSI Senior Advisor), Sarah BJ Macfarlane (Independent Consultant), Ricardo Wilson-Grau (Independent Consultant)) July 15th 2014 Executive Summary Between 2008 and 2014, the Government of Nigeria implemented the Nigeria Evidence‐based Health System Initiative (NEHSI), with support from Canada’s International Development Research Centre (IDRC) and the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada (DFATD). NEHSI undertook activities to increase the generation and use of evidence for decision-making in Bauchi and Cross River states with the goal of strengthening the health care system to deliver effective, efficient and equitable primary health care (PHC). In 2012, the Evaluation Sub-Committee of NEHSI’s Project Advisory Committee commissioned this evaluation to explore NEHSI’s ‘proof of influence’ by examining its outcomes to answer two questions: Evaluation question 1: To what extent and how has NEHSI influenced the evidence-based planning and decision-making (through changes in knowledge use, capacity, habit, and governance processes) in the primary health care system in particular and in the health system in general at the individual, community, and institutional level (federal, Bauchi State, Cross River State, and local government areas (LGA))? Evaluation question 2: Sustainabilty: To what extent do the NEHSI outcomes achieved to date a) reinforce each other, and b) embody the principles of evidence-based planning and decision-making in the Nigerian primary health care system? The evaluation team, which was advised by IDRC and the Evaluation Sub-Committee, comprised two independent consultants and one IDRC-NEHSI Senior Advisor.

The total magnetic intensity data covering the basin were processed and filtered using First vertical derivative (FVD) and Horizontal gradient (HG) filters. The FVD and HG were computed to enhance faults, fractures and folds. Ten major fault systems were defined trending majorly in the NE-SW direction with minor NW-SE trends. The lineament of the area was extracted and plotted to define the major trends of both major and minor structures. The lineament map and corresponding rose plot show a dominate NE-SW trend with minor NW-SE, EW and NS structures within the study area. The structural complexity was computed using the lineament map. The lineament density map shows that the eastern part of Gwadebawa, Jiga Birne, Jega, Wamako, Sokoto, Raka, Gayawa, Manu, Giden Madi, Matona, Talata Mafara, Moriki, Gada, Dakko and Baban Baki are intensely deformed. Kuka, Birnin Kebbi, Kaingwa, Binji, Satuka, Tureta, Rabah, Isa, Sabon Birni and eastern part of Raka are moderately deformed; and Satuka, Arbkwe, Bui, Kuka, Botawa, Binji, Sabon Birni, southern part of Tureta and eastern part of Manu are less deformation.

A total of 1,272 adult guinea fowls: 425 pearl, 313 lavender, 271 black and 263 white varieties sourced from smallholders in Sokoto, Balle, Bodinga, Shagari, Goronyo, and Illela villages in Sokoto State, Nigeria were used for the study. Data on body weight (BW), head thickness (HT), helmet length (HL), helmet width (HW), wattle length (WL), wattle width (WW), keel length (KL), body circumference (BC), shank length (SL), shank thickness (ST), drumstick length (DL), thigh length (TL) and wing length (WGL) were collected and analyzed using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) procedure and cluster analysis. The PCA showed extraction of three patterns of variation in lavender, two in each of pearl and black and one in white variety. In lavender, the first principal component explained 61.16% of the generalized variance; in pearl, the first principal component explained 73.38% of the generalized variance; in black, the first principal component explained 67.09% of the generalized variance while the only PCA extracted for the white variety explained 84.48% of the generalized variance.

  • Sokoto Research Brief
    Research Brief: Highlights from Formative Research with First-Time Young Parents in Sokoto State, North West Nigeria December 2018 www.mcsprogram.org Background Figure 1: In Sokoto State, girls marry before the age of 15 on average, but delay the first birth for a few years after marriage. In Sokoto State, in North West Nigeria, young people experience major life transitions in rapid succession (Figure 1). By the age of 19, 56.3% of girls in Sokoto will have begun childbearing.1 During this critical period, adolescents, and girls in particular, are at a disadvantage due to limited social support and knowledge about reproductive, maternal, newborn, and child health (RMNCH). In addition, these girls often have poor nutrition, limited resources, and few financial opportunities. Adolescent girls are less likely to use essential health care than are older women. In Nigeria, 46% of mothers under 20 years received no antenatal care and only 26% delivered with a skilled provider, compared with 34% and 40% of women aged 15–49, respectively. Further, adolescents have lower knowledge and use of contraceptives than older women; while 10% of all married/in-union women use a modern method of contraception, just 1% of married/in-union adolescent girls do.1 There is a clear need for interventions to increase the uptake of health care among pregnant and parenting young people to influence better health outcomes. Use of care will also promote healthy spacing of future pregnancies by providing knowledge about and access to family planning. However, there are few evidence-based models/practices for reaching first- time young parents (FTYPs).
