From 8–13 December 2025, stakeholders, technical partners, and field experts convened in Abuja for an intensive Protocol Review and Training of Trainers (ToT) Workshop for the MNCH Supply-Side Assessment across eight states.

Over six days, participants engaged in:
• In-depth reviews of facility, provider, PPMV, and CHO/CHEW assessment tools
• Hands-on data collection simulations and SurveyCTO practice
• Quality control, ethics, triangulation, and health systems assessments
• Field practice sessions across PHC, secondary facilities, and community settings

This workshop marks a critical step toward generating high-quality, actionable data to strengthen maternal, newborn, and child health service delivery in Nigeria.

We remain committed to evidence-driven programming and capacity building that supports sustainable health systems at scale.

Today, as we step into a brand new month, we are reminded that every new beginning carries its own light, its own hope, and its own invitation to do better for the communities we serve. ✨❤️

This month opens with World AIDS Day — a day that calls us to remember, to reflect, and to reaffirm our commitment to ending the HIV epidemic across West Africa.

At WACPHD, each December 1st reminds us of the countless lives touched by resilience, advocacy, innovation and care. It reminds us of families strengthened by knowledge, communities protected by prevention, and systems improved by collaboration.

Today, we celebrate progress.
We honour those we have lost.
We stand beside those living with HIV.
And we keep pushing for a future where stigma has no home, and access to care is equal for all.

Here’s to a month of renewed purpose, strengthened partnerships, and deeper impact.
Here’s to showing up — for our communities, for public health, and for a healthier West Africa. 🌍✨

Happy New Month. Happy World AIDS Day.
Let’s keep moving forward… together. ❤️
