Comparing Resources
| Resource | Immunization Supply Chain Interventions to Enable Coverage and Equity in Urban Poor, Remote Rural and Conflict Settings |
|---|---|
| Purpose | To provide guidance on the immunization supply chain strategies and interventions to address barriers to service access for zero-dose children in urban poor, remote rural and conflict-affected communities. It ultimately aims to enhance coverage and equity in the three most underserved community types. |
| Content | Description of operational strategies and adaptations in terms of immunization supply chain implications, challenges and opportunities in urban poor, remote rural and conflict-affected communities. Content includes strategies specific for each community type as well as a description of cross cutting strategies. A brief description is also included of the implications of measuring immunization programme performance in terms of zero-dose children. |
| Expected outcomes | (a) Enhanced coverage and equity in the three most underserved community types. (b) Implementation of ISC interventions specific to the contexts of rural/remote, urban and conflict affected populations. |
| Strengths | In addition to providing cross cutting strategies and interventions across different types of communities, the guidance also recommends strategies and interventions for remote/rural, urban and conflict settings specifically. |
| Contraints/Limitations | Lack of clarity on target populations, difficulties of communication with marginalised populations, disruption to health systems, lack of political will and insecurity can affect implementation. |
| Why use it | Published evidence demonstrates that supply chain interventions can significantly improve coverage. |
| Who should use it | Immunization program managers, supply chain managers. |
