The 2016 MICS/NICS data which served as a baseline report shows that only 8 to 17 percent of children received their vaccinations within the recommended time in North-western Nigeria. In Kano state, for instance, only 13 percent of children received Penta 1 vaccination before 6 weeks of age, and only 41 percent of children received their Penta 2 and Penta 3 doses less than 4 weeks from the previous vaccination.

For the longest time, the topic of women's empowerment and gender equality has been a priority on the global agenda. Today, it remains a crucial discussion point across sectors, spaces, disciplines, and contexts.

One of the prominent factors that contribute to poor immunization timeliness and completion amongst rural women in Nigeria is a lack of knowledge on the importance of immunization and a lack of awareness of the immunization schedule of their children/wards.

Despite decades of political efforts and a wealth of research on the causes and catastrophic impacts of climate change on our world, so little has been achieved in our collective bid to bend the global emissions curve.
