The COVID-19 Vaccination Ramp Up Program is an initiative of the USAID-IHP through Sydani to give priority to Five (5) states (Bauchi, Ebonyi, FCT, Kebbi, and Sokoto) to get extraordinary broad-based support for COVID-19 vaccine ramp-up in line with the state's plan using the National Optimal SCALES method.

The objective of the CCEOP initiative, which is jointly supported by GAVI and the Nigerian government, is to develop the country's cold chain infrastructure in order to increase equality and immunization coverage.

Sydani supported the deployment of advanced electronic data management tools to strengthen AEFI reporting systems at all levels. The Digital Health Information System (DHIS-2) and the Med Safety app were key platforms used to optimize data collection, reporting, and management of AEFI cases.

Sydani Group is working with the National Primary Healthcare Development Agency (NPHCDA) through its Neglected Tropical Diseases Technical Working Group (NTD TWG) to promote broad-scale sensitization in a number of hard-to-reach and under-served communities to increase acceptance for the COVID-19 vaccine.

In order to achieve alignment with important national and sub-national players in the public and private sectors, the consortium engaged Sydani as the Nigerian Convening Partner (NCP) to promote engagement with the government for buy-in, ownership, and leadership to drive the process.

In order to strengthen routine immunization and the primary health care (PHC) system, Gavi engaged Sydani to provide technical support to the FGoN at the national and state levels in the development of strategies, interventions, proposals, and implementation plans, while also serving as a liaison between Gavi and NPHCDA.

Sydani Group developed and implemented the Preventing Initiate Partner Violence and Sexual Assault in Nigeria (PISAN) project with grant funding from Grand Challenge Canada to enhance the response to intimate partner violence (IPV) and sexual assault (SA) for women in IDP camps in the Federal Capital Territory.

Momentum Country and Global Leadership (MCGL) provided funding to Sydani Group to develop an application called the Integration Atlas, which will use targeted and flexible recommendations to integrate services at the primary health care level.
