The 2025 Joint Annual Review (JAR) of Nigeria’s health sector took place from November 12-14 2025, at the Transcorp Hilton, Abuja.
This meeting was convened by the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare under the “one report, one conversation” Sector-Wide Approach (SWA).
Led by the Coordinating Minister, Prof. Ali Pate, the event brought together government stakeholders, traditional leaders, development partners, CSOs, private sector representatives, and the media from across the country.

A key highlight of the meeting was the adoption of Larval Source Management (LSM) as a vital complementary vector control strategy for malaria, marking a significant milestone in strengthening Nigeria’s malaria prevention efforts.

This year’s JAR focused on:
1. Reviewing health sector performance under the SWAp framework and NHSRII priorities.
2. Strengthening political oversight, accountability, and performance management.
3. Establishing a standardized baseline format for future JARs.
4. Deepening multisectoral collaboration across MDAs, partners, private sector, CSOs, and states.

NMEP featured at one of the sessions in the ongoing American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (ASTMH) conference in Toronto.
The session was on the deployment of spatial repellents and was convened by SC Johnson, the manufacturer of Guardian and Mosquito Shield.

During the session research papers on the entomological impact of the product were presented.

Director and Programme Manager of the IMPACT LLF Project-NMEP, Mr. Philip Okoko provided the programme perspective and highlighted the need for additional evidence to guide deployment especially in the face of the sub-national tailoring approach enshrined in the strategic plan. The PM recalled WHO recommendation that spatial repellents should not be used as a stand-alone intervention but as a complementary measure.
The audience appreciated Nigeria's commitment to sub-national tailoring being implemented in the country.
