Despite the availability of evidence-based interventions (EBIs) for hypertension control, the healthcare workforce shortage in Africa limits the effective integration of these interventions into existing services. 1 For example, the critical shortage of the health workforce has been reported as a major barrier to hypertension control in Nigeria, where in 2013, there were 3.8 physicians and 14.5 nurses per 10 000 population. 1 An acute shortage of physician healthcare workers limits Nigeria’s capacity to offer hypertension services in primary health centres (PHCs), where the majority of people living with HIV (PLWH) receive their care. To mitigate this problem, the Nigerian Federal Ministry of Health enacted a task-shifting policy across its healthcare system. 2 Specifically, nurses are mandated to carry out clinical duties at PHCs including case identification, patient counselling and treatment for maternal and child health, tuberculosis, malaria, and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). 2 Although the ‘Task-shifting and Task-sharing Policy for Essential Health Care Services in Nigeria’has been in place since 2014, 2 it has not been leveraged as a strategy to integrate non-communicable disease (NCD) management into HIV care where nurses were not allowed to treat patients with NCDs until recently. We are conducting an NIH-funded cluster randomized controlled trial of 30 primary healthcare facilities in Akwa Ibom State of Nigeria to compare the effect of practice facilitation (ie quality improvement support for primary care practices) intervention vs. usual care on the rate of adoption of task-strengthening strategy for hypertension control and change in systolic blood pressure (SBP) from baseline to 12 months.Even though early stakeholders’ engagement is essential for the adoption of such EBIs, strategies on how to engage them early to improve uptake of these interventions are lacking. This makes the adoption or actions to implement evidence-based strategies for hypertension control in real-world settings very challenging in lowand middle-income countries (LMICs) like Nigeria. We share our experience engaging major stakeholders in the formative stages of our study with the aims of introducing the study to them, obtaining different stakeholders’ perspectives on the context in Akwa Ibom state that should be considered in programme implementation, learning from different stakeholders the factors that will lead to the success of the programme and obtaining additional information pertaining to the local settings where PLWH receive care.
