Our Projects

WomenLift Health Nigeria Stakeholder Analysis Project

WomenLift Health and Bixal engaged Nextier to conduct a stakeholder analysis of Nigeria’s health sector to inform the design of its Nigeria programmes. WomenLift Health is a non-profit organisation funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation that seeks to expand the power and influence of female leaders in the health industry worldwide.

The project aimed to understand women’s representation in Nigeria’s public health sector, identify barriers and opportunities around women’s leadership, and analyse current efforts to foster women’s leadership, diversity, and inclusion. Nextier conducted desk reviews, stakeholder mapping, interviews, and focus group discussions to achieve this aim. The study insights informed WomenLift Health’s Nigeria leadership development programme

Nextier Health Universal Health Coverage Series

Nextier Health hosts a bi-monthly Universal Health Coverage (UHC) Series as a public policy dialogue platform for key stakeholders to discuss challenges and contextual peculiarities limiting universal health coverage in Nigeria.

The series provides tailored solutions and strategies to inch Nigeria closer to attaining its UHC goals. The series focuses on thematic areas relevant to UHC, including, but not limited to, health insurance, domestic resource mobilisation, private sector investments in health, primary healthcare delivery, health systems governance, service delivery mechanisms, programme implementation, and research for health systems strengthening.
