Published purpose

The project aims to support the Global Polio Eradication Initiative’s polio eradication efforts. It is designed to prevent the resurgence of the disease and improve Polio control capacity through integrated delivery of health services. This is being achieved by delivering mass campaigns or services, reaching high rates of coverage of the polio vaccine amongst the target population of children under five; carrying out approximately 10 million vaccinations; promoting integrated delivery of services by combining preventative health services and other health and nutrition interventions with Polio vaccination; and mobilizing and training health workers to work on the polio program. This is one of two parts of CIDA’s support for the Global Polio Eradication Initiative. The other part is implemented by the World Health Organization.
