Improving Program Outcomes Through Responsive Feedback: A Case Study of a Leadership Development Academy in Nigeria.

Background: In 2018, the National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA), under the Nigeria Federal Ministry of Health, recognized that inadequate personnel competencies limited its ability to provide technical assistance to state primary health care development boards (SPHCBs). In response, NPHCDA instituted a cohort-based leadership development academy (LDA) to develop its staff's leadership and management skills.

Nphcda Leadership Development Academy Program: A baseline assessment identified critical gaps in leadership and management competencies.

Patient and health facility attributes associated with retention and virologic suppression in private for-profit health facilities in Nigeria.

This study describes patient outcomes and the patient and health facility characteristics associated with these outcomes in adults receiving HIV treatment in private facilities in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Benue and Nasarawa states in north-central Nigeria.
