The forum comprises representatives from civil society organisations, the media, development partners and the public-sector and serves as a strong unified coalition of voices which mobilises community involvement to support delivery of quality, accessible and affordable MNCH services in the state.

Furthermore, a similar presentation and calls were made to the state governor through quarterly meetings he uses to have with CSOs and media engagement. Additionally, The forum ensured that over 600 healthcare workers were recruited, budgetary provisions for drugs supply and free Medicare increased from N140m in 2017 to N380m in 2018, over N2bn was provided in the 2018 budget for infrastructure development and supply of equipment  at secondary health facilities, supply of  solar-powered blood banks in selected primary and secondary health facilities and conducted health sector budget and MNCH performance scorecard for 2015, 2016 and 2017 financial years.
