Accelerating Control of the HIV Epidemic in Nigeria

The primary focus of ace activity is to support relevant HIV/AIDS/TB service delivery, through a combination of direct service delivery support and technical assistance in Nigeria, across a variety of technical areas relevant to the continuum of prevention, care, and treatment of HIV infection. ace activity aligns with the USAID/Nigerias 2020-2025 cdcs development objective 2 (DO 2): a healthier, better educated population, specifically the intermediate result 2.1 (IR 2.1): improved health and disease outcomes of priority populations in targeted states.

DO2 is hinged on the hypothesis that if the capacity of health and education institutions and systems is increased, if access to equitable health and education services is increased, if the quality of health and education service provision is increased and improved, and if the governments commitment and capacity to mobilize more of its own resources is increased then nigeria will become more self-sufficient and effective in its management of essential health and education services, which will contribute to a healthier, better educated population.
