Combined Entrance to the PATHS Office and the State Health BoardThe programme was initially located in the same building as the DFID Enugu office but it was feltto be too distant from its stakeholders. Therefore in 2003 an agreement was reached with the thenState Hospital Management Board to relocate to their site. This was situated very near to the mainMinistry of Health buildings. Four rooms were released and renovated by PATHS and the office wasofficially inaugurated by the Health Commissioner, Dr. Simon Idike in September 2003. As its workloadincreased PATHS sought additional space and again the State Board came to the rescue by offeringtwo further rooms which were integrated into the main office in 2006. A further small three roomedbuilding was also loaned to the programme and used initially by the production team of the Changeand Smile programme and then subsequently by the Health Commodities Procurement Project (HCP) .This location proved enormously beneficial and did much to promote collaborative working sincethe office was viewed as an integral part of the State Hospital Management Board (now State HealthBoard).Key Stakeholders and InitiativesPATHS worked with a number of Health Commissioners during its lifetime, namely Dr. P.O. Asadu(2002), Dr Simon Idike, (2003-2004 & 2007), Dr Festus Uzor (2004-2007) and Dr. Martin Chukwunweike(2004 & 2007). There were six Permanent Secretaries during the lifetime of the programme: Mr. Okoro(2002-2003), Mr.G.C. Asuke (2003-2004), Dr Mrs B. Orji Chukwu (2004-2006), Sir Sam Umesie (2006), MrC.J.Nnamani (2006-2007) and Mrs C.E.Okenwa (2007).The programme supported 31 different initiatives, which were mainly focused on the public sector.However, the period 2006-2008 saw an increasing emphasis on the development of partnerships withthe faith based sector and with NGOs and CBOs. At its height of busyness (January to June 06 businessplanning period) it was managing 25 different initiatives at the same time, shared across the fourPATHS themes.16 PATHS Final Programme Report
