LHSS Nigeria recently held a global knowledge strategy workshop in Abuja. The primary goal of the workshop was to evaluate and identify areas for improving health system performance influenced by LHSS initiatives. Participants collaborated in thematic groups, focusing on key performance determinants and sharing valuable lessons learned. This collaborative effort aimed to enhance the effectiveness and sustainability of health system interventions in Nigeria.
The Forum of CEOs of State Social Health Insurance Agencies in Nigeria, supported by LHSS, trained 14 newly appointed SSHIA CEOs from various states. Experienced CEOs and health experts shared insights on managing health insurance ecosystems, advancing Universal Health Coverage (UHC), leveraging ICT, and stakeholder management. The sessions, particularly beneficial for those without a health insurance background, aim to foster cross-learning and support Nigeria's goal of achieving UHC by 2030.
LHSS Nigeria supported LASHMA to host the retreat – both technical and financial support. LHSS has been supporting LASHMA and will continue to provide technical assistance to LASHMA for improved UHC coverage.

The Activity identified despite the many SBC interventions implemented in the communities, local organizations and especially the civil society organizations do not have sufficient capacity and resources to design, implement, and monitor evidence-based SBC activities. To address these issues, the Activity is partnering with a local organization to strengthen evidence-based design, implementation, and monitoring of SBC activities. The Activity is focusing on enabling local actors to lead implementation of an SBC activity while strengthening support for priority capacities.
