This week, we join the global community for World Immunization Week 2026. Under the theme "For Every Generation, Vaccines Work," vaccines have saved more than 150 million lives over the past 50 years.

In 2024, 20 million children still missed at least one vaccine dose. The work is far from over. Join us as we advocate, amplify, and act.

📍 Abuja, Nigeria | April 24, 2026

As Africa marks World Immunization Week 2026, AHBN stands with partners across the continent to emphasize that vaccines are not just health interventions, they are a matter of equity, justice, and survival for every child.

Reaching zero-dose and underserved communities requires more than awareness; it demands stronger financing, accountability, and deliberate action to ensure no child is left behind.

Thursday 16th April 2026; the Africa Health Budget Network (AHBN) convened the inaugural Technical Team meeting for the National Cancer Patients & Survivors Fund (NaCaPS), bringing together core institutional partners; the Aminu Magashi Garba Foundation (AMGF), the Arewa Cancer Control Coalition (ACCC), and AHBN to initiate a structured, multi-stakeholder process for the design and operationalization of the Fund.

The session was positioned as a high-level technical working engagement, focused on laying the foundational architecture required to establish NaCaPS as a responsive, transparent, and sustainable financing mechanism for cancer patients and survivors in Nigeria.

A key outcome of the meeting was the commencement of the development of the Fund’s operational framework. Deliberations centered on defining the governance structure, institutional roles and responsibilities, eligibility and beneficiary targeting criteria, as well as accountability and reporting mechanisms.

In parallel, discussions advanced on the financial architecture of the Fund, including modalities for the establishment of a dedicated NaCaPS bank account.

AHBN reaffirms its commitment to providing technical leadership and coordination support to ensure that NaCaPS evolves into a robust and impactful financing platform.
