Organizational Context
The World Health Assembly (WHA) in May 2011 recognized cholera re-emergence as a major global public health problem and adopted WHA resolution 64.15, calling on all Member States for the enactment of a comprehensive and integrated global approach to cholera control. Subsequently, the Global Task Force on Cholera Control (GTFCC) was revitalized to create the new momentum around cholera control and coordinating partners and activities. In 2017, the new global strategy Ending Cholera: A Global Roadmap to 2030 aimed to achieve a 90% reduction in cholera death was launched. The GTFCC’s operational arm, the Country Support Platform (CSP) hosted by the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), is mandated to provides support to countries that require technical assistance in the development of the long-term cholera control strategies, resource mobilization, capacity building and implementation of research projects. With Nigeria one of the countries supported by the GTFCC’s CSP.
In 2021, Nigeria recorded its largest cholera outbreak, since its first reported case in 1970, with 111 062 cases and 3 604 death were reported. This constituted 79% of all reported cholera cases in Africa and the largest in past 20 years. Cholera cases were recorded in almost all states in country, with reported cross-border transmission to neighbouring countries – necessitating for a more robust prevention and control plan for cholera.
The cholera control and prevention lie under the auspices of the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (NCDC) and technically overseen by National Cholera Technical Working Group (NCTWG). The NCTWG has made several bold steps in this regards: 1) the activation of an Emergency Operation Centre (EOC) to respond to recurrent cholera outbreaks, 2) the coordination of essential sectoral partners and activities, and 3). the development of a National Cholera Plan - National Strategic Plan of Action on Cholera Control (NSPACC) - to guide forward the cholera control aimed towards the Global Roadmap.
The National Strategic Plan of Action on Cholera Control (NSPACC) aims to guide cholera control in Nigeria through a well-coordinated multi-sectoral approach that emphasizes on continuous prevention efforts that accompanies response efforts rather than the traditional focus on outbreak response alone. These efforts prioritise cholera high burden and risk areas with targeted multisectoral interventions depending on the identified gaps in burden areas. The plan is structured in nine technical thematic areas of the NCTWG: Leadership and coordination, Surveillance & Epidemiology, Laboratory, Case Management, Risk Communication & Community Engagement (RCCE), Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH), Oral cholera vaccine (OCV), Logistics and Research.
The first NSPACC (2018 – 2023) was developed through series of stakeholder engagements with the support of the GTFCC and the World Health Organization (WHO) following a cholera hotspot mapping that reviewed cholera data from 2012 - 2017. The plan, although not officially endorsed, has since guided Nigeria cholera preparedness and response activities. However, the 2021 cholera outbreak has informed the need to review the existing plan to be better target identified gaps with investing in long-term WASH investments, strengthening surveillance, introducing preventive OCV campaigns while building resilient communities.
