Nigeria

For more than 30 years, JSI has partnered with the Government of Nigeria, working hand-in-hand to advance the country’s health agenda. Our collaborative efforts blend private sector expertise, public health experience, and a practical understanding of how to support programs across community health care practices, primary health care, health supply chain management, digital health, maternal and child health, immunization, and health systems strengthening. JSI’s efforts in Nigeria represent our commitment to long-standing partnerships, positive changes, and better health outcomes for all.

Health Systems Strengthening

Access to quality health care requires strong health systems. JSI’s comprehensive approach entails co-creating localized solutions to strengthen the building blocks of the health care system and improve service quality, efficiency, equity, and financial health. In Nigeria, we have supported the integration of reproductive, maternal, newborn, and child health services to ensure all women and children have access to services they need, where and when they need them.

Health Supply Chain Management

JSI is committed to ensuring that people have on-demand access to high-quality, affordable health supplies where, when, and how they want to receive them. We use data to strengthen collaboration and inform market decisions to increase awareness of HIV-prevention commodities in Nigeria while optimizing distribution and use. We also work closely with the government to strengthen forecasting and supply planning for more evidence-based decision-making of immunization commodities and ultimately ensure their availability at health care sites.

Digital Health

JSI is a pioneer in health information systems and logistics management technology. We apply appropriate, user-centered, digital health solutions to solve public health problems. From mobile data collection and analysis to managing the world’s most complex health supply chains, we help countries and partners maximize the potential of technological innovations to strengthen and build resilient responsive health systems. We also develop and link infectious disease operations for seamless sharing of surveillance and monitoring data for informed decision-making and improved case management.

Primary Health Care

From prevention and rehabilitative services to providing health education and promotion, primary health care addresses all general health issues of the individual, family, and community throughout a person’s lifetime. JSI’s engagement in primary health care focuses on reinforcing immunization efforts and enhancing access to essential services. We harness our collective expertise in policy, access, introduction, implementation, evaluation, and learning to accelerate the uptake of lifesaving vaccines such as HPV. We also strive to strengthen routine immunization and remove barriers to care to make sure Nigerians have a healthy start for better health outcomes.

Integrating Care

Initial responses to epidemics such HIV and tuberculosis led to the creation of vertical programs, but often health is best served by more integrated, person-centered packages of care. At JSI, we apply behavior integration alongside our Reimaging Technical Assistance Framework to collaborate with state and nonstate stakeholders to better understand what form of person-centered care best fits the country context.

Private-Public Partnerships and Health Product Market Shaping

The private sector plays a key role in ensuring access to health services and products and the sustainability of government and globally funded interventions. We leverage the comparative advantage of the different health sectors to strengthen access to and the sustainability of current programs. At JSI, we use health market shaping interventions to generate intelligence that can guide investment decisions by the private sector. We also facilitate the development and review of policies that encourage the private sector to invest in public health as good business practice and to meet corporate social responsibility goals.
