Background of the Study
Intergovernmental relations play a crucial role in the execution of healthcare policies by determining how responsibilities and resources are shared among federal, state, and local governments. Effective collaboration among these levels of government ensures better healthcare delivery, improved funding allocation, and efficient implementation of health policies. However, poor coordination, political conflicts, and bureaucratic inefficiencies can hinder policy execution, leading to disparities in healthcare access and service delivery.
In Nigeria, healthcare governance operates under a multi-tier system where federal, state, and local governments share responsibilities. In Taraba State, the execution of healthcare policies faces challenges such as inconsistent funding, overlapping roles, and a lack of synergy among government entities. Understanding the effect of intergovernmental relations on policy execution is vital in addressing these challenges and ensuring a more effective healthcare system.
Statement of the Problem
Despite numerous healthcare policies aimed at improving health services in Taraba State, poor intergovernmental coordination has led to gaps in execution. The absence of clear role definitions, funding inconsistencies, and political interference negatively impact healthcare policy implementation.
Existing studies have explored healthcare policy execution in Nigeria, but little research has focused on the role of intergovernmental relations in shaping healthcare policy outcomes in Taraba State. This study will investigate how the relationship between different government tiers affects healthcare policy execution and identify strategies for improving coordination.
