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.

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.
