Lafiya Palladium

We are Lafiya: UK & Nigeria Partnership for a Healthier Future. Our chief aim is to improve the health outcomes for the most vulnerable in 5 states of Nigeria. Lafiya will have achieved success when Nigeria has a healthy, well-nourished, and well-educated population with the skills to access jobs and livelihoods to help grow the economy. Steps to achieve success: 1. Increased resource invested in health, and prioritisation of health by Government of Nigeria (through civil society advocacy on human capital, community accountability for health; and use of data to inform government prioritisation of health); 2. Improving effectiveness and efficiency of public and private essential health services (through health system strengthening, and working with the private sector to improve the delivery of affordable health services for the most impoverished populations); and 3. Reducing total fertility rate (through addressing social norms, demographic impact analysis, and support to family planning demand creation and delivery of services).
