All of these projects are carried out in support to national authorities through nearly 511 health facilities. Whenever possible, we work in partnership with local NGOs to ensure that our patients benefit from the best and most relevant expertise wherever it is, whether within their own country or in the rest of the world. In addition, to improve the humanitarian response, we are carrying out operational and clinical research projects, particularly in the fight against malnutrition and viral hemorrhagic fevers on the field.

ALIMA IN NIGERIA
ALIMA has been operating in Nigeria since 2016, providing medical and nutritional support amid security challenges, particularly in North-East (Borno, Yobe), North-West (Katsina), and Ondo State.
ALIMA responded to COVID-19, cholera, diphtheria, and measles outbreaks over the last years. We work closely with the Ministry of Health, conducting clinical research on Lassa fever, Nutrivax, and Optima.
Our focus is on vulnerable populations, including IDPs and host communities, delivering outpatient and inpatient care. In 2024, we supported over 235,000 beneficiaries with around 7, million, mainly from EU funds. Our team includes 26 expatriates, 322 national staff, and 1,300 MoH incentive staff. Key priorities for 2025 include stabilizing operations, improving pharmacy management, and emergency response. We face challenges like policy compliance, recruitment, and funding diversification. Our mission aims to strengthen resilience and expand sustainable health interventions.
Emerging Infectious Diseases
Our objectives are to fight Lassa Fever, improve patient care and treatment, as well as the living conditions of communities affected by this disease, and reduce mortality.
Our mission is to develop appropriate, interdisciplinary and innovative operational research, bringing together healthcare providers, humanitarian actors, national and local health decision-makers, researchers, and communities. Our projects contribute to the development of actions to facilitate policy change for access to medicines in Africa.
ALIMA is leading the INTEGRATE consortium, run through its research platform, in partnership with several international institutions as well as hospitals in Nigeria, such as the Federal Medical Centre of Owo (FMCO), the Irrua Specialist Hospital (ISTH) and the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University (ATBU) Teaching Hospital. The INTEGRATE clinical trial is a multinational, multicenter, controlled, randomized, adaptive phase II-III platform superiority trial with open-label parallel arms. The primary objective of the trial is to compare the efficacy of interventional medical products (IMPs) to standard of care drugs (SCD) on the prevention of death or organ failure in hospitalized participants with confirmed Lassa Fever.
In Ondo State, ALIMA is supporting the FMCO with case management for free care, active case detection, public awareness campaigns, and reinforcement of the Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) measures among health workers in the different hospital structures of Ondo State.
Maternal and child health
ALIMA conducts clinical and operational research projects in maternal and child health in Nigeria, aimed at generating evidence to improve program implementation. These include child nutrition and health research initiatives such as NutriVax in Yobe State and OptiMA in Katsina State. NutriVax is a cluster randomized control trial testing whether the preventive food SQ-LNS (small quantity lipid-based nutritional supplements) incentivizes increased vaccine uptake. OptiMA is a prospective observational cohort testing whether a simplified, combined treatment protocol increases coverage. Another project is OptiCrypto in Borno State which will evaluate the effectiveness of treatments for Cryptosporidium-induced diarrhea in children aged 1–3 years.
Location: Abuja, Federal Capital Territory, Nigeria, with regular travel to various project sites.
