Lawyers Alert Participates in Launch of Multisectoral Accountability Framework for Tuberculosis and Rollout of Lenacapavir

Lawyers Alert joined key stakeholders at the official launch of the Multisectoral Accountability Framework for Tuberculosis (MAF-TB) and the rollout of Lenacapavir (LEN PrEP), a long-acting injectable for HIV prevention. The event was part of the activities commemorating World TB Day 2026 and underscored the importance of coordinated action in addressing public health challenges, improving health outcomes, and ensuring accountability in the management of infectious diseases in Nigeria.

The launch brought together representatives from government agencies, development partners, health-focused civil society organizations, and community advocates. Participants discussed strategies to strengthen multisectoral collaboration, improve monitoring and reporting mechanisms for TB control programs, and expand access to innovative HIV prevention tools, including LEN PrEP. By participating, Lawyers Alert emphasized the importance of integrating community voices into health decision-making and ensuring that policy implementation reflects the needs of vulnerable populations.

During the event, Lawyers Alert highlighted its commitment to health governance advocacy, focusing on transparency, accountability, and equitable access to medical interventions. The organization also shared experiences from its community engagement initiatives, demonstrating how civil society can complement government efforts to strengthen TB control, enhance HIV prevention, and ensure that public health programs deliver measurable outcomes.

By engaging in platforms like the MAF-TB launch, Lawyers Alert continues to promote evidence-based health policy, multisectoral accountability, and citizen participation, reinforcing the role of civil society in shaping responsive and inclusive health systems. This participation reflects the organization’s broader mandate to protect the health and rights of communities while advocating for sustainable, people-centered interventions across Nigeria.
