ABOUT
Launched in 2009, NIFAA harnesses the influence and power of Nigeria’s faith leaders as they help combat disease, improve health outcomes, and address development challenges throughout the country. NIFAA’s early work revolved around life-saving community outreach and behavior change messaging related to the fight against malaria. Currently the organization represents a faith-led, action-driven capability read to expand its efforts. Initial investments catalyzed a groundbreaking relationship between the Government of Nigeria, the faith community, and development partners. As NIFAA approaches its eighth year, it demonstrates resilience and a capacity to adapt as a force for peace and reconciliation as it helps Nigeria meet the gaps in its Sustainable Development Goal targets.
