| dc.description.abstract | The study examined the challenges militating against the implementation of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3.3 in Nigeria. It also interrogates the ways in which international health partners are contributing to Nigeria’s ongoing policy thrust of goal 3.3 of the SDGs; and further analyses the implications of the challenges of Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) for the implementation of goal 3.3 of the SDGs. These were with a view to providing informations on the implications for Nigeria`s SDGs` pursuit and international health partners have been contributing towards this policy thrust. The study utilized both primary and secondary sources of data. Primary data were collected through the conduct of thirteen in-depth interviews with purposively selected strategic informants who were drawn from the Federal Ministry of Health,w Abuja; Office of the Senior Special Assistant to the President, Abuja; National Agency for the Control of AIDS (NACA), Abuja; World Health Organization (WHO), Abuja; World Health Organization (WHO), Akure; Ministry of Urban and Regional Planning, Oyo State; Ministry of Urban and Physical Planning, Ondo State; Ondo State Agency for the Control of AIDS (ODSACA); Oyo State Agency for the Control of AIDS (OYSACA); Sustainable Development Goals Office, Lagos State; Ministry of Health, Lagos; Ministry of Health, Oyo State; and Ministry of Health, Ondo. Secondary data were obtained from textbooks, reports, articles, journals, internet sources, and relevant internet materials that contribute meaningfully to the overall objective of this research work. Data collected were analysed using content analysis. The study reveals that there are several critical factors militating against the eradication of HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria in Nigeria, and these are majorly categorized under human, capital, and technical factors. These factors include resource inadequacy, lack of proper monitoring and documentation, poor environmental sanitation and control, low level of awareness, and socioeconomic status. While the human factors are majorly attributable to citizens’ actions and inactions, the capital factor is largely a derivative of government actions, while the technical factors stem from the institutions involved in the implementation of goal 3.3. Likewise, the study discovered that international bodies such as the World Health Organization (WHO), United Nations’ Children Fund (UNICEF), the Joint Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), and President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) are agencies that actively contribute in areas such as funding, support structure, and technical assistance in the eradication of HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria. The study further reveals that although the challenges that faced the implementation of the MDGs are still much in place, the SDG has achieved a substantial rate of progress as compared to the MDGs. Likewise, it was discovered that efforts have increased in ensuring that the challenges faced by the MDGs serves as a leverage for the implementation of The study therefore concludes that challenges to the successful eradication of communicable diseases in Nigeria are weaved around human, capital, and technical factors. However, there has been no significant progress in reducing the prevalent rate of communicable diseases except for HIV and also the inability of early detection and treatment results in a slow rate of progress in combating tuberculosis. | |
