Nigeria Health Financing Advocacy Network: the Case for a Political Economy Approach
To accelerate health financing reforms in pursuit of universal health coverage, the Federal Ministry of Health (FMoH), in collaboration with the West African Health Organization (WAHO), established a National Network of Advocacy Champions for Adequate Health Financing to contribute to better health financing. The Network will use strategic and targeted advocacy action at relevant points in the budget development process to hold Federal and State governments accountable for their financial resolutions, specifically for health. The WAHO is providing the Network with an initial US$50,000 to begin operations.
