Immunization is the most cost-effective health intervention known to mankind. When countries can successfully provide vaccines to their children, they are already making an immense difference to the health of their citizens. Yet, globally, 1 in 5 children are still without access to even the most basic vaccines. A successful immunization program can contribute to stronger overall health by providing a structural foundation for national health systems.

Together with our partners, we contribute to increase immunization coverage levels in Africa by:

• Raising the profile of immunization on policymakers’ agenda.
• Promoting sustainable resource allocation for immunization at country level.
• Increasing the visibility of good practices and accomplishments of EPI programs throughout the continent.
• Strengthening coalitions in support of immunization.
• Increasing demand from communities of quality immunization service.
