CALL FOR APPLICATION: PACFaH 2017 Health Budget Monitor Media Challenge

Are you passionate about Nigeria Health Sector? Are you an adept follower of Nigerian media? We the Partnership for Advocacy in Child and Family Health (PACFaH) Project Nigeria would like to invite you to become a champion and an advocate for child and family health in Nigeria. We draw your attention to join our cause to encourage government to increase the funds for 2017 Health budget.
We call on you to take the lead in writing an article or carry out a media campaign or do a resourceful video reporting on Health Budgeting in Nigeria with a focus on the 2017 Health Budget.

Right now, with the recently submitted 2017 Budget proposal, the Health Budget stands at a very low 4.17%. It is quite disheartening that other African countries with very low influx of revenue like Ethiopia and South Africa budget as much as 12% to 16%; Nigeria can and should have a much higher allocation than these countries.
