From November 6 to 8, 2024, the EpiC Nigeria team joined other USAID-funded HIV\/AIDS and TB implementing partners for a three-day, in-person meeting in Abuja, Nigeria. Held as part of preparations for PEPFAR\u2019s 2025 Country Operating Plan (COP), the meeting focused on addressing emerging issues and priorities in program implementation.\u00a0 The event brought together key leaders to discuss updates, share insights, and align on sustainability strategies under the UNAIDS-led Sustainability Roadmap exercise. The meeting agenda centered on strengthening partnerships, tackling programmatic challenges, and highlighting pathways to achieving long-term impact in HIV\/AIDS and TB interventions.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
