The Challenge Initiative (TCI) Visits HEFAMAA

The Challenge Initiative (TCI) paid a courtesy visit to HEFAMAA on Thursday.
The team, which was led by the state manager, Dr. Omotunde Odonye, also included Mr. Rotimi Oluwafemi and Mrs. Adesola Fanimokun.

TCI, which has been working in the family planning space for some years, informed the agency that the program had been extended for two years.
The TCI State Manager stated that they have identified five issues militating against effective family planning in the state. The identified issues include commodities, post-parturn FP, demand generation, data management, and private sector engagement.

Mrs. Odonye said TCI will extend its support to 80 private health facilities to be selected based on high-volume antenatal care and delivery to improve their private sector engagement.

She implored HEFAMAA to assist TCI in reviewing the list to include only health facilities complying with the registration guidelines.

The Executive Secretary of HEFAMAA, Dr. Abiola Idowu, in her remarks, welcomed the TCI delegation and promised to assist TCI to ensure the success of the program.

The meeting was also attended by the Director of the Inspectorate Department, Dr. Olayinka Daniel, and Miss Sandra lhende.
