Published purpose

This project aims to increase equitable access to COVID-19 vaccines, particularly among priority groups and vulnerable populations. It also seeks to reinforce health systems through strengthened vaccine delivery, community outreach, data systems, and the delivery of gender-equitable immunization and primary health care in seven target countries in Africa. The project also supports emergency response to the mpox Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) in the Democratic of the Congo (DRC). Project activities include: (1) providing technical support for the implementation and monitoring of vaccination programmes, particularly gender-responsive components; (2) developing vaccination strategies and plans with gender-responsive interventions; and (3) deploying mobile teams to vaccinate priority groups.
