KSPHCMB, DATHARM REVIEW MCHTrack ENDLINE ASSESSMENT FINDINGS TO STRENGTHEN DIGITAL COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT FOR IMMUNIZATION

The Kano State Primary Healthcare Kano State Primary Health Care Management Board, in collaboration with Datharm, on Wednesday, 23rd September 2026, convened a dissemination meeting to review the endline assessment findings of MCHTrack, a digital community engagement platform for routine immunization developed by Datharm with support from the Gates Foundation. The meeting, held at the Kano Emergency Operations Centre (EOC), brought together Amina Ahmad K.U. Nagogo, Chief Executive Officer of Datharm; Amina Muhammad, State Coordinator; Dr. Nafisa Sani Nass, Datharm Research Lead; representatives of KSPHCMB, the Kano State Government and health sector partners, among other stakeholders. The engagement focused on sharing findings and lessons from the implementation of MCHTrack in Ungogo and Gabasawa Local Government Areas and exploring its contribution to community-level immunization activities.

The meeting highlighted how digital, real-time monitoring can strengthen visibility, tracking and follow-up of immunization activities at community level, particularly in identifying and referring zero-dose and under-immunized children and monitoring their progress towards facility attendance and vaccination. Stakeholders also examined barriers along this pathway and the need to strengthen community–facility data linkages to generate timely information for immunization planning, follow-up and service delivery. In his opening remarks, the Director-General of KSPHCMB, Professor Salisu Ahmad Ibrahim, emphasized the importance of using reliable data and appropriate digital innovations to strengthen community engagement, improve programme accountability and support efforts to reach children who remain unreached by routine immunization services.

The dissemination further provided a platform for the Kano State Government and partners to identify practical opportunities for strengthening and sustaining digital community engagement within primary healthcare services. Discussions centred on applying lessons from Ungogo and Gabasawa to improve community identification and referral, strengthen follow-up of children referred for vaccination, enhance the flow of information between communities and health facilities, and ensure that digital tools generate actionable data for immunization decision-making. The meeting reinforced the importance of sustained collaboration among government, communities and partners in using evidence and digital solutions to close immunization gaps and improve access to routine immunization services across Kano State.

KSPHCMB STRENGTHENS COMMUNITY HEALTH DATA SYSTEMS, CONCLUDES CBHW PERFORMANCE REVIEW

The Kano State Primary Healthcare Kano State Primary Health Care Management Board, with support from the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office, FCDO Lafiya Programme, has concluded a two-day Community-Based Health Workers (CBHW) Performance Review and LGA Focal Persons’ Orientation on Electronic Data Collection and Reporting, held from 19th to 20th September 2026 at Quarter House Hotel, Kaduna. The engagement brought together relevant stakeholders to assess CBHW performance, identify implementation gaps and strengthen electronic systems for timely, accurate and reliable community-level health data.

Declaring the engagement open, the Director-General of KSPHCMB, Professor Salisu Ahmad Professor Salisu Ahmed Ibrahim, stressed the need for continuous performance monitoring, accurate reporting and effective use of data to strengthen primary healthcare delivery. He noted that reliable and timely data provides health managers with the evidence required to identify service delivery gaps, track progress and make informed decisions, urging participants to translate the knowledge gained into improved reporting and stronger performance at the LGA and community levels.

The two-day engagement strengthened the capacity of LGA focal persons on electronic data collection and reporting while providing an opportunity to review CBHW programme performance and agree on areas requiring improvement. The initiative is expected to enhance the quality, timeliness and reliability of community health data and promote greater use of evidence in planning, monitoring and decision-making, further strengthening KSPHCMB’s efforts to deliver more responsive, effective and accountable primary healthcare services across Kano State.Why I prefer this headline:
“KSPHCMB Strengthens Community Health Data Systems, Concludes CBHW Performance Review” gives us two strong news angles—the system improvement and the completed review. It also puts KSPHCMB firmly in front, avoids an unnecessarily long headline, and sounds like a proper government health-sector news release rather than a workshop report.

KSPHCMB CONCLUDES 2027 ROUTINE IMMUNIZATION WORK PLAN DEVELOPMENT TO CUT ZERO-DOSE CHILDREN, BRIDGE EQUITY GAPS

The Kano State Primary Health Care Management Board has concluded a two-day workshop for the development of its 2027 Routine Immunization (RI) Work Plan, layiny the groundwork for targeted interventions to expand vaccine coverage, reduce the number of zero-dose children and bridge equity gaps across the state’s 44 Local Government Areas (LGAs). The workshop, held from 7th to 8th September 2026 at ASA Pyramid, Kaduna State, brought together key immunization stakeholders and programme partners to review 2026 performance, identify coverage gaps and establish evidence-based priorities for the 2027 immunization programme.

In his opening remarks, the Director-General of KSPHCMB, Professor Salisu Ahmad Professor Salisu Ahmed Ibrahim, urged participants to adopt an evidence-based, realistic and results-oriented approach to the development of the work plan. He emphasized that effective routine immunization planning must go beyond setting targets to identifying and addressing the specific barriers preventing children from being reached, while ensuring that available resources are strategically deployed to areas of greatest need. “Effective routine immunization planning must move beyond setting targets. We must address the specific barriers preventing children from being reached and deploy resources where they will have the greatest impact,” Professor Ibrahim stated, stressing that strong stakeholder coordination, collective ownership and accountability are critical to reaching every unvaccinated and under-immunized child across Kano State.

The workshop’s technical sessions focused on three key areas: performance assessment, involving a review of 2026 routine immunization results and identification of coverage gaps across the 44 LGAs; strategic target setting, with emphasis on equity, zero-dose reduction and vaccine supply-chain integrity; and costing and alignment, which involved developing detailed activity line-items, harmonizing partner budget contributions and consolidating a master work plan for implementation. The exercise provided stakeholders with an opportunity to translate programme performance data and identified gaps into practical, measurable and costed interventions for 2027.

The resulting 2027 Routine Immunization Work Plan will serve as a strategic roadmap for strengthening immunization delivery at the grassroots, improving vaccine coverage and equity, safeguarding the vaccine supply chain and accelerating efforts to reach zero-dose and under-immunized children. KSPHCMB reaffirmed its commitment to evidence-driven planning, effective coordination and accountability to ensure that every eligible child in Kano State has access to life-saving vaccines and greater protection against vaccine-preventable diseases.
