Sultan Foundation for Peace and Development, in collaboration with the National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA), convened a 2-Day Second Quarter Program Review Meeting for the Nigeria Polio Support Program, focusing on the Engagement of Traditional Institutions in Polio Eradication. This meeting sought to highlight the strong role and contribution of traditional institutions in promoting and improving the polio vaccination campaign, as well as in identifying and closing gaps to ensure the campaign's effectiveness and success. The 2-day event was held on the 5th - 6th October, 2026.

Sultan Foundation for Peace and Development (SFPD) and the Centre for Health Economics and Development (CHECOD), in collaboration with the Kebbi State Primary Healthcare Development Agency (KBSPHDA), convened a one-day State-Level Training of Trainers (SToT) on Community Mobilization at Azbir Hotel, Birnin Kebbi, on Monday, 28th September, 2026. The training was held under the Kebbi – Tracking for Accountability and Equitable Immunization Project (K-TRACE), supported by @ Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance. The project aims to reduce the number of zero-dose and underimmunized children across seven priority Local Government Areas: Argungu, Birnin Kebbi, Maiyama, Koko-Besse, Yauri, Zuru, and Danko Wasagu. The SToT equipped participants with the skills to train and support 275 Community Mobilizers across the 7 priority LGAs. Sessions covered the K-TRACE community mobilization strategy, household engagement, zero-dose child identification and referral, and the use of immunization referral cards. Participants also had hands-on practice with the Zero-Dose Tracking Tool (SurveyCTO), including role-plays on house-to-house identification and referral. A DHIS2 syndicate session was held for LGA M&E Officers. The training brought together representatives of SFPD, CHECOD, KBSPHDA, and RI supporting partners, including WHO, Gates Foundation, CDC, NI-ABAI, and ACE Group, alongside LGA Consultants, LIOs, LGA M&E Officers, Health Educators, and CBO representatives from the seven implementing LGAs. The session provided a platform for shared learning, practical skills-building, and joint planning. Participating LGAs also confirmed their readiness for step-down training and the deployment of Community Mobilizers, a key step toward closing immunization gaps in Kebbi State. #KTRACE #ZeroDose #Immunization #Kebbi #SultanFoundation #CHECOD #Gavi, the vaccine alliance
