NIGERIA NATIONAL MULTI-SECTORAL ACTION PLAN FOR THE PREVENTION AND CONTROL OF NON-COMMUNICABLE DISEASES (2019 – 2025)

The National Multi-Sectoral Action Plan (NMSAP) for the prevention and control of Non- Communicable Diseases (NCDs) in Nigeria 2019 – 2025 is a strategic guide for the national response to NCDs for the next seven years in Nigeria. The development of the NMSAP is guided by the WHO Tools for National Multi-sectoral Action Plan for prevention and control of Non- Communicable Diseases (NCD MAP Tool). The document aligns with the National Health Strategic Development Plan II (NHSDP II), the Sustainable Development Goals 2015-2030 and the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (ERGP). This document establishes a framework for reducing morbidity and mortality of NCDs within the context of the broader Nigerian health system. It aims to inform stakeholders on the strategic direction to be considered when developing programmes on prevention and control of NCDs. Development partners and stakeholders will also use this document in aligning their priorities and supporting the country in its effort to lower the burden of NCDs.
