RedAid Nigeria

What RedAid Nigeria does

RedAid Nigeria (RAN) is a Nigerian non-governmental, non-profit organization incorporated in 2016 and fully operational since 2022, headquartered in Enugu with field operations across multiple Nigerian states. It evolved from GLRA Nigeria, which has maintained a continuous presence in Nigeria since 1965, and provides integrated health services focused on leprosy, tuberculosis, Buruli ulcer, and other neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). Its service portfolio spans early case detection, specialized medical treatment and rehabilitation (including surgery, physiotherapy, and assistive devices), mental health screening and psychosocial support, health logistics for last-mile delivery, advocacy for policy reform, and assistive device distribution to affected persons.

The organization does not charge for its services. Its business model is a donation-and-grant-funded non-profit, with revenue sourced from international partners, most notably the German Leprosy and TB Relief Association (DAHW), and delivered through strategic collaborations with the National Tuberculosis, Buruli Ulcer and Leprosy Control Programme (NTBLCP), state ministries of health, community-based organizations, global health institutions, and CBM Global Nigeria. Its go-to-market is community-led: mobile health teams and trained community health workers penetrate hard-to-reach rural endemic areas, with joint supportive supervision visits alongside government partners reinforcing service quality.

The technology footprint is intentionally lean. An Impact Hub dashboard built on the open-source DHIS2 platform supports program-level data tracking and visualization, and PHQ-9 standardized tools are used for mental health screening. Governance rests with a Board of Trustees chaired by Dr. Chijioke P. Osakwe, with executive leadership under CEO Dr. Daniel Egbule, a Director of Programs, Director of Finance & Administration, and functional heads spanning HR, procurement/logistics, finance, and internal audit/compliance, supporting a headcount of 44 employees.

Direct peers

• Sightsavers: Sightsavers is an international NGO working on NTD elimination (especially trachoma, LF, onchocerciasis) and inclusive eye health across sub-Saharan Africa, including Nigeria. It directly competes for donor funding in the same Nigerian NTD space and operates similar government-partnered community delivery models.
• Effect Hope (Effect: Hope): Effect Hope is a Canadian INGO focused on NTDs (leprosy, LF) and disability inclusion, with field programs in Africa and Asia. It overlaps with RedAid Nigeria on leprosy and NTD care, rehabilitation, and community-based delivery.
• Helen Keller International: Helen Keller International runs NTD programs (including LF, onchocerciasis, schistosomiasis) and supports national ministries of health across Africa. Its Nigeria portfolio overlaps directly with RedAid Nigeria's disease focus and government partnership model.
• Lepra India: Lepra (UK/India) is a leprosy and NTD-focused INGO with community-based detection, treatment, and disability support models comparable to RedAid Nigeria's. Both organizations emphasize disability prevention, rehabilitation, and addressing stigma associated with leprosy.
• CBM Global: CBM Global is an international disability-inclusive development organization focused on NTDs, rehabilitation, and inclusion in low- and middle-income countries. RedAid Nigeria explicitly partners with CBM Global Nigeria in the MHCAP-NTDs project and PARL meetings, making it the most directly comparable peer by mission, geography, and program design.
• The Leprosy Mission Nigeria: The Leprosy Mission is a long-standing international federation working on leprosy and NTDs with country presence in Nigeria. It shares RedAid Nigeria's focus on leprosy case detection, treatment, rehabilitation, and community empowerment, and serves the same Nigerian beneficiary population.
• FAIR Medical Foundation: FAIR Medical (formerly FAIR Foundation) is a European health INGO active in leprosy, NTDs, and primary healthcare in Africa and Asia. It shares RedAid Nigeria's community-led delivery model and disease focus, and competes for similar institutional donor funding.

Others

• World Health Organization (WHO) Nigeria Country Office: WHO Nigeria sets NTD/TB normative guidance and convenes government-NGO coordination that RedAid Nigeria operates within. It is not a peer in the delivery sense, but it is the most relevant ecosystem participant shaping the funding and policy environment in which RedAid Nigeria competes.

Broad incumbents

• Catholic Relief Services (CRS) Nigeria: CRS is a large US INGO with significant health, NTD, and HIV programming in Nigeria, partnering with government and faith-based networks. While broader than RedAid Nigeria, CRS is a comparable operator in the Nigerian health NGO landscape and competes for many of the same institutional donor awards.
• Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF): MSF operates large-scale humanitarian health programs in Nigeria addressing TB, NTDs, and outbreak response. It is much larger and broader than RedAid Nigeria but competes for donor visibility and operates in similar endemic regions.
