Pact is registered officially in Nigeria as Pact West Africa. Pact is the promise of a better tomorrow for those who are challenged by poverty & marginalization in 40 countries including Nigeria. For more than a decade, Pact has been promoting democracy and improving health in Nigeria, a country that is home to more people than any other African nation. With funding partners that include Chevron and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Pact is using local solutions and building the capacity of Nigerian organizations to create lasting impact. Starting in Nigeria with the USAID ADVANCE project in 2005, we’ve forged partnerships between government and civil society, resulting in the passage of four significant national bills to fight corruption, including the landmark Freedom of Information Act in 2011. Currently, we are implementing the Bill and Melinda Gates’ funded State Accountability for Quality Improvement project (SAQIP) in Gombe state. SAQIP will achieve quality improvement in MNCH responses via 3 primary outcomes: 1. Improved governance, capacity, and performance of the public health system; 2. Improved accountability and community participation in the public health system; and 3. Increased utilization of public MNCH services.
