Accelerating Nigeria towards malaria elimination requires moving away from business as usual: insights from a political economy analysis
Achieving meaningful progress in malaria elimination in Nigeria requires predictable financing from sustained political will. Demand from citizens is essential to encourage political prioritisation. Programs and partners must also be better coordinated to maximise impact with limited resources. Establishing high-level malaria advocacy groups and integrating malaria priorities into the national development plan would support these efforts.
