16 Jul CIHP joins consortium partners for the REACH-OUT project’s Kick-off meeting in Rwanda
CIHP JOINS CONSORTIUM PARTNERS FOR THE REACH-OUT PROJECT’S KICK-OFF MEETING IN RWANDA
The Centre for Integrated Health Programs (CIHP) recently secured a competitive multi-country and multi-partner grant to implement the REACH-OUT Project funded by the Global Health EDCTP3 Joint Undertaking (European Commission). This is in line with our continued commitment to improving health outcomes for Nigerians. The 4-year project, which runs from January 2025 to December 2028, aims to close the immunization gap by reaching zero-dose children (those yet to receive any routine vaccine) through improved, equitable, and cost-effective vaccine delivery strategies.
The REACH-OUT project unites a diverse and experienced consortium which includes eight core partners: three from Sub-Saharan Africa—AMREF Health Africa (Kenya), CIHP (Nigeria), and CIICHIN (Rwanda); four from the European Union—Bocconi University (Italy), FBK (Italy), UKHD (Germany), and ITM-Antwerp (Belgium); and one associated partner—STPH (Switzerland).

As part of the project’s launch, a three-day kick-off meeting was held in Kigali, Rwanda in March 2025, bringing together consortium members, partners, and stakeholders from all partner countries. The meeting served as a collaborative platform to share insights, align on project objectives, work packages, methodologies, and explore innovative strategies to reach zero-dose children. CIHP, as the implementing partner for Nigeria, actively participated in the discussions, contributing to efforts aimed at improving immunization equity and strengthening country-specific implementation strategies.
