SWAp

A Unified Framework for Health Sector Efficiency

SWAP (Sector-Wide Approach)

Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare

With funding support from the Gates Foundation, Datharm developed the Nigeria Resource Coordination (NRC)/Resource Mapping and Expenditure Tracking (RMET) platform to improve visibility, coordination, and optimisation of health financing across donor and domestic resources in Nigeria.

Designed in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, through the Sector Wide Approach Coordination Office (SWAp) the platform:

  • Improves transparency across all levels of health sector funding
  • Centralises fragmented data into a single, accessible hub
  • Supports evidence-based planning and resource allocation
  • Replaces manual reporting with an automated, error-reducing system

Bridging the Gaps in RMET

While the current Resource Mapping and Expenditure Tracking (RMET) system in Nigeria provides a foundational starting point, it is limited in scope, primarily focusing on Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn, Child, and Adolescent Health and Nutrition (RMNCH+N).

We’re building a more comprehensive, digital tool that integrates data from various sources, captures data beyond RMET’s core focus, and supports policy-making by improving cross-sector plans and coordination to drive better health outcomes.

The project aligns with the broader goal of establishing a sustainable, data-driven health financing system to support Nigeria’s SectorWide Approach (SWAp) reforms.
