6.3 Objective 3: Strengthening Policies, Delivery Mechanisms and Outputs in Key Social Development Areas including Education for All, Combating HIV/AIDS and other Communicable Diseases 6.3.1 In December 2010, the Federal Government of Nigeria launched a National Strategic Health Development Plan (NSHDP) to cover the period 2010 to 2015. This programme is to improve on the Health Sector Reform Programme (HSRP) that existed between 2003 and 2007. The NHSDP is designed to ensure that Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), the private sector, communities and donors work harmoniously to enhance the implementation of essential health services in line with national health policy goals. The HSRP suffered ineffective coordination which resulted in wastage and inefficiencies in the health sector without clear priorities and focus. 6.3.2 The new harmonized programme has a framework that prioritizes eight areas for improving the national health system, viz:         Leadership and governance for health; Health service delivery; Human resources for health; Health financing; Health information systems; Community ownership and participation; Partnerships for health development and, Research for health 6.3.3 The problem of HIV/AIDS has been of immense concern to the Federal and State Governments in Nigeria due to the danger it poses to sustainable socioeconomic development of the country. In addressing the pandemic, the two tiers of government created Presidential Committee on AIDS- National Action Committee on AIDS (NACA) and State Committees on HIV/AIDS respectively. The Federal Government launched the Universal Declaration of Access in 2005. Among others, this policy seeks to halt and reverse the spread of HIV/AIDS by 2015. 75
