Multisectoral contributions to health security and formal policy availability at the community level in Nigeria

Multisectoral plans and actions at the community level are one of the strategies that are deployed in the Primary Healthcare (PHC) system for improving health and well being of the people and also a means of addresssing the social determinants of health. Multisectoral actions are also means of implementing the Health in All Policies (HiAP) policy directions, which Nigeria has agreed to implement.. However, there is a paucity of knowledge on the level of multisectoral involvement to ensure health security and promotion at the community level. This paper provides new knowledge on what multisectoral activities for health are undertaken at the community level and what can be done to strengthen them, towards achieving universal health coverage in Nigeria. It elaborates on previous and current levels of multisectoral collaboration (MSC) activites for health at the community level.
