This report explores the long-term impact of the Comprehensive Child Eye Health in Nigeria (CCEHiN) project, implemented by CBM UK between 2017 and 2020 under the global Seeing is Believing initiative. Funded by Standard Chartered, the project reached over 52 million people across 11 Nigerian states, delivering eye health services to children through screenings, surgeries, spectacles, low vision devices, and inclusive education. Four years on, this review assesses the sustainability of outcomes in government systems, schools, health facilities, and partner organisations. It highlights enduring successes, such as continued referral pathways, trained personnel, and policy integration, while also identifying challenges like resource gaps and workforce shortages. The findings offer valuable lessons for future inclusive eye health programming.
