Nigeria Immunization Funding Transition Plan:
From Gavi Dependency to Independence
Nigeria faces a $200 million annual funding gap as
Gavi support ends in 2028. The country must develop
domestic financing models to protect immunization
programs.
The Global Health Advocacy
Incubator launched a podcast
episode examining policy and
fiscal solutions under
consideration for this critical
transition.
Host Abel Akara Ticha speaks with Chika Offor from Vaccine Network for Disease Control
and Professor Emmanuel Alhassan about sustainability plans.
Government contributions rose from 14% to 65%
between 2017-2022, yet remain under 5% of health
spending. Federal coverage of 52% is proposed.
Strategies include first-line charge mechanisms, local
vaccine production, and a 9% Communication Service
Tax generating substantial monthly revenue.
Without proper preparation, Nigeria risks losing subsidies and technical assistance, potentially
impacting over 2.2 million zero-dose children.
