This group has been created to provide a platform for people interested in Nigeria to learn, share information, experiences, lessons and best practices. Although our focus is development, we are equally interested in other areas linked to strengthening/reforming systems to improve services provided, especially to the poor and vulnerable.

Everyone is welcome!

Comment by Ufon Udofia on April 26, 2012 at 9:06am: Julie, I wanted to know the reason you set up the group and what can be done to get more members being that it has only 7 members and we need to mainstream KM into our organizational culture in organizations in the country.

Comment by Juliana Ohumaegholem Abude on April 26, 2012 at 6:31am: A compact was signed in January 2012 between the five UKaid -PATHS2 supported States’ Ministries of Health (Enugu, Jigawa, Kaduna, Kano and Lagos) and pharmaceutical manufacturing companies in Nigeria, through the Affordable Medicines Facility for malaria (AMFm) initiative to make Artemisinin Combination Therapies (ACTs) available and affordable to the poor, and also to help manufacturers become WHO-pre-certified to ensure quality control. PATHS2, in collaboration with the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI), will provide life-saving anti-malaria treatments to health facilities based largely in rural communities in Lagos, Kaduna, Jigawa, Enugu and Kano. A course of treatment will be provided for as little as 60 Naira, making the drugs affordable to even the poorest Nigerians, many of whom still subsist on less than US$1 a day. Previously the treatment cost nearly 20 times more.

Comment by Juliana Ohumaegholem Abude on April 26, 2012 at 6:25am: This can be contested, but i think that the concept of KM in Nigeria, even in development is still relatively new. Organizations are still grappling with what it should mean for them, interface with M&E and Communications, where one ends and the other begins.

The biggest challenge I am faced with right now, is facilitating replication of "best practices"

Comment by Ufon Udofia on April 26, 2012 at 6:02am: Julie, why exactly did you set up this group?

Comment by Okey Noke on April 12, 2012 at 4:29pm: Whats the latest when it comes to KM in Nigerian development issues? Pretty broad question but I want to get some dialogue going.
