Building on the strong state-level buy-in secured during entry stakeholder engagements, NOI Polls supported the Protocol Review Workshop for the Supply-Side Assessment of MNCH and Family Planning.
The workshop convened experts from the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare (FMoH&SW), National Primary Healthcare Development Agency (NPHCDA), National Health Research Ethics Committee of Nigeria (NHREC), Pharmacy Council of Nigeria (PCN), State Ministries of Health, and implementing partners NOIPolls, Precision Global, and West African Centre for Public Health and Development (WACPHD), working in collaboration with the University of Manitoba, and was held from the 8th to the 13th of December 2025.
Through rigorous protocol review and pilot testing, the workshop ensured study tools were contextually relevant and implementation-ready for data collector training and fieldwork in the coming months. The assessment will span seven states (Akwa Ibom, Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, Katsina, Yobe, and Zamfara), covering private & public health facilities, pharmacies, and PPMVs.
This preparation is a key step toward generating quality data to guide interventions and improve health outcomes for women and children in Nigeria.
