Through MNCH2 work in Katsina the FHC Alliance was set-up. The FHC Alliance is the accountability platform at the LGA level and a bridge between the local and state level accountability platforms to monitor, track, and advocate for improved provision of MNCH services. The FHC Alliance is one of the most effective ways of strengthening the accountability chain for MNCH services from the community, through the LGA up to the state and is important because FHCs benefit from networking, learning about what others are doing, exchanging ideas of what they can do and how they can overcome problems.
