UNICEF - United Nations Children's Fund

Published purpose

Through this project, CIDA is supporting UNICEF to improve the cold chain capacity and storage for vaccines at the national and regional levels, in response to a critical shortage of vaccine storage at these levels. UNICEF’s activities are part of the broader framework of support for immunization services in Tanzania, namely the Government of Tanzania’s Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI), which aims to reduce childhood morbidity, mortality and disability in Tanzania. CIDA’s support is building on and reinforcing the longstanding partnership between UNICEF and the Government of Tanzania aimed at building the capacity of the Government of Tanzania for vaccine forecasting, procurement and management.
