Published purpose
This UNICEF project supports implementing the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI)’s Endgame Strategic Plan (2020 to 2023), which provides a global roadmap to eradicate polio. It aims to improve health, particularly in vulnerable populations in polio-endemic outbreaks and high-risk countries. Project activities include: (1) working with targeted governments to strengthen oral polio vaccine campaign safety and quality and introduce inactivated polio vaccine into routine immunization systems; (2) providing technical assistance to front-line workers to increase immunization coverage; and (3) working with governments to transition polio assets and infrastructure to broader health goals and national health systems. The GPEI is a partnership between the United Nations Children’s Fund, the World Health Organization, the United States Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, Rotary International and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
