“It’s not just evidence to validate the problem; it’s also evidence that validates the solution.” Oludare Bodunrin

Health Systems Strengthening Expert, Policy Advisor and Non-profit Leader

The strength of an investment case lies in the connection between the problem, the proposed intervention, and the evidence that supports its effectiveness. Establishing that a public health challenge exists is only the starting point. Decision-makers also need to understand why the proposed response is suited to the context, what makes it feasible, and whether the organisation can deliver it.

This is an important dimension of evidence communication explored in The Currency of Evidence Communication: How Powerful Public Health Impact Narratives Drive Policy Action and Funding.

Today, we are proud to have supported the work leading to the unveiling of the MAMII Private Sector Compact at the 2026 Nigeria Health Sector Joint Annual Review.

Over the past months, ACE Group has worked with MAMII Coordinator, Dr Dayo Adeyanju, the World Economic Forum (@wef ) and the Gates Foundation (@gatesfoundation ) to support stakeholder engagement, mobilise private sector interest and help advance the process of showcasing the Compact and its opportunities for collaboration.

This work reflects an important dimension of public health programme coordination: bringing the right stakeholders to the table, building alignment around government priorities and creating pathways for private sector resources, expertise and capabilities to contribute to implementation.

We are pleased to contribute to this government-led effort. The next step is to sustain this engagement and translate the commitments and partnerships generated through the Compact into coordinated action that improves maternal and newborn health outcomes across Nigeria.

Today, on the margins of #JAR26 in Abuja, we launched the MAMII Private Sector Compact, securing over US$65 million in financial and in-kind commitments to accelerate Nigeria’s efforts to prevent maternal and newborn deaths. The Compact brings private-sector financing, life-saving medicines, medical technologies, supply-chain capabilities and technical expertise into a coordinated national effort to improve maternal and newborn survival.

Under the Renewed Hope Agenda of His Excellency President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, @officialABAT, this partnership advances the people-centred approach of the Nigeria Health Sector Renewal Investment Initiative (NHSRII), aligning public, private and philanthropic resources with national health priorities.

The Maternal and Neonatal Mortality Reduction Innovation Initiative (MAMII) prioritises 172 high-burden Local Government Areas, which account for more than half of Nigeria’s maternal deaths. Through the Sector-Wide Approach, coordinated by @SWApGov, we are directing these commitments towards government-identified gaps in emergency obstetric and newborn care, essential medicines, skilled personnel, emergency transport and referral services. Implementation will be coordinated and monitored to ensure that resources reach the facilities and communities where they are most needed.

Alongside the Compact, I launched national policy instruments and clinical guidelines covering emergency obstetric and newborn care, obstetric fistula, sexual and reproductive health, postpartum family planning and self-care, permanent family planning methods, and task shifting and task sharing. Through TEAM OB/NEO, we are integrating clinical innovations, competency-based training and frontline service delivery to improve the management of obstetric and newborn emergencies.

I appreciate the leadership and support of the Gates Foundation (@gatesfoundation), World Economic Forum (@wef), MTN Foundation (@MTNFoundationNG) and MSD for Mothers (@MSDforMothers), alongside our partners: European Union (@EUinNigeria), IQVIA (@IQVIA_global), Bayer Consumer Health, DP World (@DP_World), dsm-firmenich (@dsmfirmenich), Ferring Pharmaceuticals (@ferring), Nestlé (@Nestle), Roche (@Roche), MTN Nigeria (@MTNNG), PSHAN (@pshan_alliance), Bank of Industry (@BOINigeria), Envision Pharma Group (@EnvisionPharma), UNICEF Nigeria (@UNICEF_Nigeria), CHAI (@CHAI_health), TAConnect (@TAConnect_NG), UNFPA Nigeria (@UNFPANigeria), CMS (@coronams), SCIDaR (@SCIDaR_), NEST360 (@NEST360org), ACEPHAP (@acephap_buk), PharmAccess (@PharmAccessNIG), Development Delivery Partners, BudgIT (@BudgITng), Nigeria Health Watch (@nighealthwatch), KPMG Nigeria (@KPMG_NG) and ACE Strategy and Consults (@AceStrategyLtd).

I call on state governments, implementing institutions and our private-sector partners to move decisively from commitments to delivery: deploy the resources, strengthen frontline capabilities, close identified service gaps and demonstrate measurable improvements in maternal and newborn survival.

Our collective responsibility is to ensure that a woman facing an obstetric emergency receives timely, competent care; that a newborn in distress has access to life-saving treatment; and that more Nigerian families experience childbirth as a moment of joy rather than loss. This is the outcome against which our investments, partnerships and reforms must be measured.

Effective outbreak response is not just about detecting public health threats. It is about ensuring that information moves quickly, responsibilities are clear, and the right actors can coordinate timely action, from communities and primary healthcare facilities to local, state, and national response structures.

As part of the Strengthening Coordination of Outbreak Response (SCORE) Project, ACE Strategy and Consults, working with the National Primary Health Care Development Agency (@NphcdaNG ) and Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (@NCDC), facilitated state-level diagnostic dissemination and ideation workshops in Ogun and Kaduna States.
