Saving One Million Lives Programme for Results (SOML-PforR)
Project Overview The Saving One Million Lives Programme for Results (SOML-PforR) is a flagship World Bank–supported Nigerian health initiative aimed at accelerating improvements in Maternal, Newborn, and Child Health (MNCH) through a results-based financing approach. The 2018 Benue State Operational Plan consolidated priority activities, implementation responsibilities, and costed interventions across six core pillars—immunization, nutrition, malaria, HIV prevention, essential medicines, and MNCH services—alongside health system strengthening efforts in technology, logistics, and supply chain management. The plan was developed to align state-level implementation with national SOML-PforR objectives, while responding to Benue State’s unique demographic, epidemiological, governance, and socio-economic realities. It provided a comprehensive framework to guide coordinated action among government institutions, development partners, and implementing stakeholders during the 2018 fiscal year. Project Scope and Approach The operational plan was grounded in an extensive situational analysis covering population demographics, health service delivery structures, financing constraints, environmental and social determinants of health, and key MNCH indicators. It incorporated projections for population growth, service demand, and expected health outcomes, enabling evidence-based prioritization of interventions.
The planning process emphasized: Integration of MNCH services across primary, secondary, and tertiary levels of care Strengthening coordination among public, private, and faith-based health providers Addressing system inefficiencies caused by fragmented governance and funding gaps Aligning results-based financing mechanisms with measurable health outcomes

Complete Result
The finalized 2018 SOML-PforR Operational Plan positioned Benue State to systematically implement high-impact MNCH interventions through a coordinated, results-oriented framework. It offered clear implementation pathways, realistic cost estimates, and defined institutional roles across the health sector. By aligning state priorities with national and global health goals, the plan strengthened Benue State’s capacity to improve maternal, newborn, and child health outcomes, enhance accountability in health financing, and support longer-term primary healthcare system strengthening. The operational framework also provided a foundation for future scale-up, performance monitoring, and integration into broader health sector reforms within the State.
