Why This Matters
Nigeria, Africa’s most populous nation, faces critical challenges in improving maternal, newborn, and child health. Despite numerous interventions, the country still records some of the highest maternal and child mortality rates globally.

Key funding details:
- The exact grant amount will be determined based on the project’s needs, scope, and budget.
- Applicants are encouraged to submit realistic budgets reflecting the true costs of achieving their objectives.
