Overview

The National Action Plan for Health Security (NAPHS) 2018-2022 for Nigeria is a comprehensive multi-sectoral strategy developed in response to public health threats, including the West Africa Ebola epidemic and recent outbreaks of yellow fever, monkeypox, Lassa fever, cholera, and cerebrospinal meningitis. It aims to strengthen health security by addressing gaps identified in the Joint External Evaluation (2017) and Performance of Veterinary Services (2010) assessments. The plan integrates multiple workplans such as REDISSE, NCDC Strategy Plan, AMR Action Plan, and immunization plans, serving as an overarching framework to create linkages and monitor progress. It provides a roadmap for 1-2 year implementation with annual revisions and a menu of costed activities for future years. Critical financing gaps are noted, requiring advocacy and resource mobilization. The document outlines next steps focused on IHR coordination and governance for implementation.
