自2010年启动联合国秘书长的《全球妇女和儿童健康战略》以来，全世界的政治力量都集中在改善妇女和儿童健康上。尼日利亚根据《全球战略》提出的一项重要建议采取了行动，成为首批设立一个称为“尼日利亚独立问责机制”的独立小组的国家之一。尼日利亚妇幼保健协会旨在跟踪与尼日利亚妇女和儿童健康路线图有关的进展情况。它包括来自政府以外的知名人士，以确保独立性，并在政府内部得到认可，以分析和报告进展情况。国家艾滋病协会的概念得到了各种国家和国际论坛以及尼日利亚联邦卫生部的批准。这一经验提供了一个将专业知识和团体与政府联系起来的例子，以影响和加速孕产妇，新生儿和儿童健康方面的进展。政府与民间社会之间的接触应成为实现国家目标的规范，而不是例外。(C)2014由Elsevier爱尔兰有限公司代表国际妇产科联合会出版。
Since the 2010 launch of the UN Secretary-General's Global Strategy for Women's and Children's Health, worldwide political energy coalesced around improving the health of women and children. Nigeria acted on a key recommendation emerging from the Global Strategy and became one of the first countries to establish an independent group known as the Nigeria Independent Accountability Mechanism (NIAM). NIAM aims to track efforts on progress related to Nigeria's roadmap for the health of women and children. It includes eminent people from outside government to ensure independence, and is recognized within government to analyze and report on progress. The concept of NIAM received approval at various national and international forums, as well as from the Nigeria Federal Ministry of Health. This experience provides an example of connecting expertise and groups with the government to influence and accelerate progress in maternal, newborn, and child health. Engagement between government and civil society should become the norm rather than the exception to achieve national goals.
