In Nigeria, HP+ has been working to support implementation of the Basic Health Care Provision Fund (BHCPF)—a critical health reform aimed at improving and expanding high-quality, affordable, accessible primary healthcare services to all Nigerians. This month, the first-ever BHCPF scorecard, intended to showcase state-level readiness and initial implementation of one of the key sources of federal-level funding for the BHCPF, was rolled out. The evaluation revealed that, of all 24 states assessed, only three (Abia, Osun, and the Federal Capital Territory)—all of which were supported by HP+—met all of the requirements. A fourth HP+-supported state (Ebonyi) met all but one requirement. The scorecard assessed whether proper structures were put in place to accept federal-level funds for implementation, facility baseline assessments were conducted, and a significant cascade of facility-level trainings on BHCPF implementation were completed. HP+ support to this effort is critical, as the project has worked to improve institutional capacity and facility-level readiness to implement a ground-breaking health reform, that if successful, could significantly move the needle towards achieving universal health coverage goals in Nigeria.
