Abstract
In Nigeria’s federal government system, national policies
assign concurrent healthcare responsibilities across
constitutionally arranged government levels. Hence,
national policies, formulated for adoption by states
for implementation, require collaboration. This study
examines collaboration across government levels, tracing
implementation of three maternal, neonatal and child
health (MNCH) programmes, developed from a parent
integrated MNCH strategy, with intergovernmental
collaborative designs, to identify transferable principles
to other multilevel governance contexts, especially lowincome countries.
