The Federal Ministry of Health, through the National AIDS/STIs Control Programme (NASCP), leads Nigeria’s HIV response and is committed to strengthening the health system to improve quality service delivery and access for people living with HIV (PLHIV). To date, NASCP has leveraged the SPICE video-conferencing platform and supported development of modular training on HIV care and treatment. These modules support ongoing professional development but are constrained by infrastructure limitations and logistical barriers particularly for healthcare workers in remote and hard-to-reach areas. To address these challenges, NASCP’s Digital Health Institute (DHI), a key component of the Nigeria Digital Health Initiative (NDHI), is embarking on a comprehensive digital transformation of its learning portfolio. By adopting an interactive online platform. Digital Health Institute (DHI) aims to deliver high-quality, self-paced courses and virtual sessions, underpinned by robust analytics and seamless integration with national health systems. In light of these, NASCP now seeks a qualified vendor to design, develop, deploy and support a robust web-based learning solutions in order to broaden educational reach, enhance learners’ engagement and ultimately elevate HIV service delivery across Nigeria.
