Objectives
Malaria is highly endemic in Nigeria and it remains one of the leading causes of childhood and maternal morbidity and mortality in the country. Nigeria is deeply committed to making progress towards the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals and it recognizes the fact that, without firm efforts to control malaria, achievement of the targets related to child mortality, maternal mortality, and reducing the burden of communicable disease will not be possible. Malaria therefore constitutes a significant development challenge for Nigeria. In 1998 the Roll Back Malaria (RBM) Partnership was launched in Nigeria as a dynamic movement involving all stakeholders affected by or concerned with Malaria. Although Nigeria is a signatory to the Abuja Declaration of year 2000, the agreed targets have not been achieved.
The USAID / PMI have been funding malaria activities in Nigeria since 2010 details of which are Malaria Operational Plans for each of the financial year and these funds are challenged through various USAID / PMI funded program and funding mechanisms. USAID / PMI recently issued a notification of a new five year program focused on malaria case management in Nigeria, using IDIQ contract mechanism and task orders on specific areas of work to be executed within the overall contract. This program will strengthen delivery of malaria case management: delivery of quality services for management of malaria and its complications, prevention of malaria in pregnancy, and integrated community case management.
