Published purpose
This project aims to improve and strengthen surveillance and immunization systems through support to the Global Polio Eradication Initiative’s (GPEI’s) 2010-2012 Strategic Plan. The goal of the GPEI is to eradicate polio from the planet. CIDA’s support contributes to strategies within the plan to address sub-national gaps in surveillance sensitivity in three endemic regions, to ensure certification-standard surveillance is sustained in regions which are polio-free, and to enhance the effectiveness of outbreak response activities. It also contributes to strengthening immunization systems and increasing coverage rates of the full range of classical childhood vaccines, and/or assisting with the delivery of other important child survival interventions such as vitamin A, zinc supplementation and the distribution of anti-malarial bednets.
