In 2002, the Federal Government of Nigeria initiated a National Antiretroviral programme which was targeted at treating 10,000 infected adults and 5,000 children in 25 treatment centres across the country. The provision of ARV treatment by State Governments NGOs, Faith Based establishments and private sector organisations complements the efforts of the Federal Government. The first ever national assessment and evaluation of these programmes was jointly carried out by the DELIVER, POLICY, and PHRplus projects, the FMOH and the Nigerian Institute of Medical Research, Yaba Lagos. The project assessed and evaluated the ARV programmes in 15 public, 34 private, 12 faith-based and 4 NGO ARV implementing centres across the eight States of the country. The contents of this report are the findings and recommendations of this national survey.
