The Global Financing Facility (GFF) is a country driven financing partnership.

We hope the GFF\u2019s investment in this Fund will improve and strengthen primary health care starting in three of Nigeria\u2019s 36 states. This is designed to leverage additional Government of Nigeria financing every year to scale up the scheme across the rest of the country.<\/p>
