| description |
Nigeria is a country of immense natural
resources and potential, but the government’s capacity to
deliver public goods has generally been weak. It was against
this backdrop that Nigeria faced the arrival within its
borders of the deadly Ebola virus disease in July 2014.
Despite assurances that the Nigerian government was prepared
to respond to an outbreak of Ebola, the country was caught
unaware and forced to mount an emergency response. Yet
despite these serious concerns, the spread of Ebola was
successfully contained in Nigeria. This case study seeks to
understand why Nigeria’s Ebola response was so successful
despite the challenging context. The case study will focus
on institutional architecture and political will, taking an
exploratory qualitative approach to examine the
institutional dynamics and motivations among various
stakeholders involved in the country’s response. The aim is
to distill lessons that may be applied to other emergency
response initiatives, as well as elsewhere in the health
sector and in other areas of service delivery. A proactive
communication strategy is required to build a broader
coalition of support, and demand-side actors such as
nongovernmental organizations play a helpful role. |
