Transitioning a large-scale HIV/AIDS treatment program from an international partner to a local Nigerian implementing partner: a before-after early outcomes assessment study

HIV/AIDS treatment program transitions to indigenous partners can be successfully achieved without compromising service accessibility, care quality, or treatment outcomes. Our study findings highlight the importance of collaborative planning in sustaining program outcomes during transitions with the aim of sustaining service delivery during this period. A systematic approach, utilising a well-structured transition model, facilitates a seamless transfer and provides a strategic framework for Nigerian programs.
