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. 6.3.4 In order to effectively tackle the HIV/ AIDS surge in Nigeria, the Federal Government has made screening free in all government hospitals and, in collaboration with all stakeholders, intensified the free distribution of antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) to ensure the availability of the drug to all concerned. The aim is to ensure that 80% of men and women suffering from the virus benefit from the programme; since current statistics by the World Health Organization (WHO) suggest that only 21% of HIV/AIDS victims, are beneficiaries of the free ARV programme. Available statistics show that the incidence of HIV/AIDS is on the decline: Government actions have succeeded in reducing HIV prevalence from 4.6% in 2008 to 4.1% in 2010 and 3.1 in 2011. 89
