SCIDaR led the rollout of a revised financial management system to ensure effective and transparent utilization of routine immunization funds in 6 Nigerian states; Bauchi, Borno, Kaduna, Kano, Sokoto and Yobe States. On this project, we successfully established a direct electronic disbursement system managed by the State to enable prompt receipt of funds by end-users at all levels, supported the States, LGAs & health facilities to establish dedicated bank accounts to enable direct end-user access to RI funds and the internal audit units of State PHC Agencies to validate retired funds and flag irregularities to the leadership team.
The team also developed easy-to-use retirement tools and standardized the processes for end-users at all levels to enhance timely
retirement of funds and revitalized the State finance working groups to manage the revised financial management system.
