Strengthening the systems that
deliver health care.
Our Work in Nigeria
VillageReach has worked in Nigeria since 2016, strengthening systems that connect health products, information and services to the people who need them the most. In partnership with government, we bring expertise in supply chain design, data visibility and use, workforce development, private-sector engagement, digital health and last-mile service delivery. Our current portfolio builds on this foundation to support more effective, equitable and sustainable health services across the country, especially immunization.

What We Do
Through Last Mile Vaccine Stock Visibility (LMVSV) and the Cold Chain Data Exchange (CCDX), VillageReach strengthens access to timely vaccine stock and cold chain data. This builds on earlier work in immunization supply chain benchmarking, forecasting, distribution design, the Visibility and Analytics Network (VAN) and third-party logistics.
We work with government and communities to identify and address barriers that prevent children from receiving vaccines on time. The 9-Month and Measles Vaccine Dropout Study examined why children miss vaccination at the nine-month touchpoint and identified practical opportunities to improve uptake.
Through HPV Vaccine Technical Assistance, VillageReach supports planning and delivery in Lagos and Enugu. The Peer-to-Peer Learning (P2P) project is also testing new approaches to strengthen health worker capacity, particularly for HPV vaccination.
The Polio Laboratory Sample Transport project strengthened the timely and reliable movement of samples to laboratories. Faster sample transport supports earlier detection and response to suspected outbreaks.
The Lagos Telehealth Hotline connected communities with health information, consultations and referrals. It demonstrated how remote support and community-based access points can bring care closer to under-reached populations.

What Human-Centered Design Reveals About Nigeria’s 9-Month Vaccination Gap
Impact Story
It’s something you have decided to do – anytime you are scheduled, you will try as much as possible to go.”
On a warm morning in Unguwar Rimi, a densely populated neighborhood in Kaduna North, Fatima did what the health system asked of her. She wrapped her nine-month-old son, Abubakar, to her back and walked to the health center for his measles, yellow fever and meningitis A vaccines. She had done this before many times for earlier vaccinations. That day, however, Fatima was told there were too few children present to open the vaccine vial. She was asked to return another day. When she did, the vaccines were finished. After her third attempt, Abubakar developed a fever attributed to teething, and Fatima decided to wait. Days passed. As confidence that a visit would be successful faded, household responsibilities took priority. Abubakar never received his 9-month vaccines.
Listening First: How Community Conversations Are Driving HPV Vaccine Uptake in Nigeria
Impact Story
Every conversation here moves us one step closer to stronger, more connected health systems.”
The chairs in the community hall filled quickly. Mothers, teachers, traditional leaders and a few curious students gathered, waiting for the meeting to begin. The topic wasn’t new: the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) vaccine, but the energy in the room was different: open, curious and deeply communal. Across Nigeria, town hall conversations like this are breathing new life into Nigeria’s national effort to protect girls against cervical cancer, one honest discussion at a time.
