    Linking Policy to Real World: Exploring Policy Objectives of HIV Program Funders in Nigeria
    (2016) Alliyu, Oluwatobi; Roebuck, Christopher
    This thesis explores the national and transnational climate that informs and influences Nigerian policy and approaches to combatting the HIV/AIDS epidemic. It seeks to draw the connections between the historical, political, social, and economic factors that have produced the current reality of HIV/AIDS in Nigeria. By exploring this issue within the context of HIV clinics in Lagos, Nigeria, I ultimately aim to demystify the notion of Africa, more specifically Nigeria, as an illness-ridden region that is inherently incapable of caring for its citizens as well as debunk half-truths of corruption and leadership deficits as the root-cause of Nigeria’s weak health system.
