The workshop, being held at FABS Hotel in Zaria with technical support from the FCDO Lafiya Project, is bringing together the agency’s management and technical personnel to review its strategic planning framework, address identified gaps, prepare realistic cost estimates for operational activities, and validate key performance indicators for the next five years.

She said the review and costing of the strategic plan reflected KSCHMA’s commitment to supporting Governor Yusuf’s vision of people-centred governance through stronger public institutions, prudent resource management, and expanded access to affordable, equitable and quality healthcare services.
According to her, a well-costed and results-oriented strategic plan would provide a practical roadmap for implementing impactful health interventions, improving institutional performance, strengthening monitoring and evaluation, and ensuring value for money in healthcare delivery.
Amina also commended the FCDO Lafiya Project for its continued technical support in strengthening Kano State’s health system, expressing confidence that the workshop would accelerate progress towards achieving Universal Health Coverage and support the implementation of the state’s healthcare reform agenda.
The workshop is expected to continue with the detailed costing of operational activities, the presentation of costed programmes, and the review of the strategic plan’s performance indicators before the adoption of the final implementation framework.
