As a signatory to the adoption of the International Health Regulations (IHR) at the 58th World Health Assembly, Nigeria conducted its first Joint External Evaluation (JEE) in 2017 using the JEE tool. This first JEE enabled the development of a five-year National Action Plan for Health Security (NAPHS) in 2018 to help improve the country’s ability to prevent, detect and respond to public health emergencies, and also formed the baseline that will be used to measure the country’s improvements in subsequent JEEs.
