One of the problems identified is that there is a profound series of misunderstanding of the disease in Kano, and working with key stakeholders – the State government, traditional rulers and religious leaders, the initiative would work towards improving public enlightenment on combating the epidemic.
This includes working with relevant stakeholders to develop content to mount a social media enlightenment campaign; setting up a call centre facility to support easier contact with the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and another call centre for the public seeking interventions. An App is also being developed that would enable people to self-test themselves on the basis of questions provided by the Ministry of Health.
The Kano Against COVID-19 Initiative has developed a governance and delivery framework. The main organs of the initiative are a Governing Council that provides oversight and serves as a liaison organ with federal and state authorities, as well as other stakeholders such as Ulama religious and traditional leaders. There is also a Steering Committee, which is the main decision organ of the initiative. The main work is however done by technical committees.
