Global Presence

The Nigeria Indigenous Capacity Building (NICaB) project aims at strengthening the ability of indigenous organizations to respond to HIV & AIDS in their communities. MSH serves as a mentoring partner and sub to the Christian Health Association of Nigeria (CHAN). The project aims to achieve a sustained and effective response to HIV & AIDS through capacity building, institutionalizing best practices, increased community outreach, and ensuring ownership by local partners. NICaB works in 12 sites in six States (Delta, Sokoto, Taraba, Abia, Oyo and Benue).  The four main objectives of the project are:

• Strengthening the health and management systems of CHAN and its member institutions, to support health programs in HIV & AIDs at the primary health care level
•  Strengthening/developing local capacity at primary health care facilities to deliver a comprehensive set of quality health services
• Establish/strengthen partnerships with government and private sector agencies
• Expand and sustain the community response to HIV & AIDS
