Kano State Concludes 2027 Routine Immunization Work Plan Development Workshop with Focus on Zero-Dose LGAs and Improved Accountability

The Kano State Primary Health Care Management Board, in partnership with Save the Children, Nigeria and the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI), has successfully concluded a two-day workshop for the development of the draft 2027 Routine Immunization (RI) Work Plan, with stakeholders providing technical inputs and strategic recommendations to strengthen immunization planning and implementation across the state. The workshop was held at Millennium Hall, Tahir Guest Palace, Kano.
The workshop brought together key stakeholders, thematic leads, implementing partners, and technical teams to review the performance of the 2026 RI work plan, assess implementation gaps, and define strategic priorities for 2027. The first day focused on reviewing evidence, identifying programme gaps, refining thematic activities, and validating proposed interventions through thematic group presentations and plenary discussions.
During the workshop, the Director for Disease Control and Immunization encouraged all thematic areas to critically review their 2026 work plans and develop the 2027 plan based on findings from the Situation Analysis (SITAN). The thematic groups presented their proposed activities, which were reviewed by participants, allowing for constructive feedback, observations, and recommendations to ensure stronger alignment with identified priorities.
The evidence reviews highlighted key implementation challenges requiring attention in the 2027 plan, including partner coordination, programme management, supply chain performance, supportive supervision, governance structures, financial accountability, and data quality management. These findings emphasized the need for stronger linkage between activities, available evidence, micro plan data, measurable targets, ownership, and accountability mechanisms.
The Director-General of KSPHCMB, Prof. Professor Salisu Ahmed Ibrahim, charged thematic groups and Routine Immunization partners to change the narrative in 2027 by ensuring that persistent challenges affecting immunization coverage, particularly those related to zero-dose LGAs, are fully addressed. He emphasized the importance of stronger coordination, accountability, and targeted interventions to reach unreached and under-immunized children.
The workshop concluded with thematic groups tasked to finalize outstanding adjustments, including activity alignment, costing, budgeting, ownership, and partner contributions. Participants agreed that the final 2027 RI Work Plan must be evidence-driven, clearly define responsible actors, incorporate measurable outputs, and establish effective monitoring mechanisms to improve immunization outcomes across Kano State.
The successful conclusion of the workshop marks a significant step toward strengthening Routine Immunization delivery in Kano State. Through collaborative planning, evidence-based interventions, and renewed commitment from government and partners, stakeholders reaffirmed their resolve to address existing gaps, improve accountability, and ensure equitable access to life-saving vaccines for every eligible child, especially those in zero-dose communities.

KANO CHARTS 2027 MALARIA PLAN, PRIORITISES PREVENTION AND ELIMINATION

The Kano State Ministry of Health, through the State Malaria Elimination Programme (SMEP), has developed a comprehensive 2027 State Malaria Operational Plan to strengthen coordinated action against malaria and accelerate progress towards its elimination across the state. The three-day operational planning workshop, held from 23rd to 25th August 2026 at Bafra International Hotel, Kaduna, was supported by the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) and brought together key stakeholders to develop a SMART, evidence-based and costed plan for malaria programming in Kano State.

Speaking at the workshop, the Director General of the Kano State Primary Health Care Management Board, Professor Salisu Ahmad Professor Salisu Ahmed Ibrahim, stressed the need for the 2027 plan to give greater attention to prevention alongside diagnosis and treatment. He advised stakeholders to revive effective environmental and community-based preventive practices, including appropriate spraying, regular clearing and evacuation of blocked drainages, and improved environmental sanitation to eliminate stagnant water and other mosquito breeding sites.

Professor Ibrahim noted that the fight against malaria requires collective responsibility and sustained action at household, community and government levels, adding that preventing mosquito breeding remains a critical and cost-effective approach to reducing the disease burden. He urged participants to ensure that the operational plan translates evidence, lessons and priorities into practical interventions that can deliver measurable results across the 44 Local Government Areas.

In his remarks, the Acting Programme Manager of the Kano State Malaria Elimination Programme, Dr. Abdullahi Yusuf Koki, commended the commitment of participants and partners towards strengthening malaria programming in the state. He explained that the workshop provided an opportunity to review the 2026 operational plan, assess available evidence and Local Government Area inputs, identify programmatic gaps and develop realistic, evidence-based and costed interventions for 2027. Dr. Koki expressed optimism that the resulting plan would provide a stronger roadmap for coordinated implementation, resource mobilisation and sustained efforts to reduce the malaria burden and advance Kano State towards its malaria elimination goal.
