    The effects of the devolution of HIV treatment programmes from external to local non-governmental organisations: A mixed-methods study in Kano, Northern Nigeria
    (University of the Western Cape, 2021) Yahaya, Habibu Bala; Mathole, Thubelihle
    The devolution of health programmes from external to local non-governmental organisations (NGOs) is a relatively new phenomenon in sub-Saharan Africa. The special characteristics of the devolution of complex programmes pose both managerial and employee challenges, which previous change management research has not adequately addressed. Furthermore, earlier research has mainly viewed organisations as isolated and independent entities, whereas programmes that aim at large-scale interventions, such as the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) projects, are embedded in their organisational context. Ineffective implementation of the PEPFAR antiretroviral therapy (ART) devolution process is a potential threat to programme sustainability in Nigeria.
