The stakeholders made the call as part of their recommendations at the end a two-day retreat to review draft national and state scorecards on the RMNCAEH+N Recovery plan and COVID-19 and Health Security Accountability, championed by the Africa Health Budget Network (AHBN), in Lagos.

 

The coordinator, AHBN, Dr. Aminu Magashi, in a statement yesterday, said the RMNCAEH+N Recovery Plan during COVID-19 accountability scorecard was developed through rigorous analysis of the 2022 federal government approved budget, review and validation meetings and independent monitoring of the activities of the RMNCAEH+N

The stakeholders further urged the RMNCAEH+N platform to formalise the participation of CSOs and youth constituencies with clear roles and modalities of engagement. They also recommended that CSOs and youth representatives on the RMNCAEH+N platform strengthen meaningful engagement with their constituencies through formal channels for inputs and feedback.

 

They recommended the provision of a dedicated page to be created on the website of the Federal Ministry of Health and other relevant agencies where information about budget releases and expenditure could be sighted and that CSOs, youth and media to engage the Federal Ministry of Health, Federal Ministry of Finance and donor community to galvanize collaborative efforts towards strengthening the RMNCAEH+N platform and support implementation of the recovery plan.

 

“The NGOs, advocates and other critical stakeholders must find a way of talking to the government and the Ministry of Finance, in particular the office of the Accountant General of the Federation (AGF) for the release of approved budgets.

 

“They are there. It does not make sense to leave money laying without releasing it to be used for the purpose it is meant for.

“This retreat is an opportunity for us to call on the government emphasizing that these monies must be released.

 

“At least, before the end of this year, we should have those releases so that the health sector will be improved,” says Hon. Mohammed Usman, Chairman, National Advocates for Health (NA4H).

 

“Investments in family planning is an investment in saving the lives of women and children and lead to prosperity for all. Family planning, therefore, is critical to achieving Sustainable Development Goals which are aimed at ending poverty and improving wellness and health……it is also key to achieving ending hunger as well as promoting gender equality. That’s why a country as populous as Nigeria needs to promptly release the budget for the procurement of Family Planning (FP) commodities,” said Magashi.
