Country cooperation strategy 2023-2027: Nigeria

Overview

The Country Cooperation Strategy (CCS) is WHO’s medium-term strategic framework that guides the Organization’s work in and with a country. The CCS presents WHO’s business plan, which includes a set of agreed strategic priorities based on which WHO and the Member State undertake to work together to achieve common objectives outlined in the country’s national health and development agenda, focusing on those areas where the Organization has a comparative advantage in leveraging a public health impact. 

The development of the Fourth WHO Nigeria CCS (2023–2027) was informed by the rapidly evolving priorities and needs in the country, especially the persisting poor health indices despite government investments and contributions from development partners. The strategy builds on recommendations from the Presidential Health Reform Committee, the Second National Strategic Health Development Plan (NSHDP II), the Nigeria Health Sector Improvement Initiative (2023–2026), the priorities selected by Member States for the upcoming GPW14 (2025–2028), and the UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (2023–2027).
