Abstract
Abstract In recent years, social protection programs have been promoted as a means of ensuring equality and improving the welfare of people across countries. Consequently, many programs have been rolled out in the Global South, where these challenges are rife. In Nigeria, Community-Based Health Insurance was implemented as a partnership program in selected rural communities in Kwara State in 2007, and it collapsed in 2016. Therefore, the people are back to the pre-2007 era of poor access to healthcare. Using the health policy triangle, the study examines the main reasons behind the stoppage of the program. A mixed-methods approach was adopted for data collection. The findings indicate that issues of funding and management are central to the stoppage of the program. Thus, the chapter recommends a long-term ideational commitment to the provision of healthcare services in the Global South.
