Community-led monitoring boosts HIV, TB, Malaria fight in Rivers
Community-led monitoring initiatives in Nigeria are being used to address systemic healthcare gaps in the fight against HIV, TB, and malaria. The program, supported by the Global Fund, engages civil society organizations to identify service delivery barriers across 21 states.
Why it matters
Community-driven health interventions are essential for improving outcomes in regions with high disease burdens and limited infrastructure.
Nigeria’s ranking among top 30 countries burdened by Tuberculosis, TB-HIV co-infection, with the highest global malaria cases and second highest HIV/AIDS burden, has made community-driven intervention critical to addressing systemic gaps in healthcare delivery. This was the thrust of the 2026 Integrated Community-Led Monitoring, I-CLM, Success Stories and Impact Report presented in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, on Wednesday, by Mr. John Ihua Maduenyi, State Coordinator, Civil Society for Malaria Elimination, Immunisation and Nutrition, ACOMIN.
