Improving immunization coverage and equity - technical resources
Comparing Resources
| Resource | Achieving immunisation outcomes through Gavi investments- Focus Area Demand |
|---|---|
| Purpose | Intended for use by Gavi-eligible countries to help guide the development of proposals to increase community acceptance of and demand for immunisation. |
| Content | An overview of demand generation and its key elements and guidance on the country dialogue and process for developing the demand generation component of Gavi HSIS proposals. It outlines five main categories of demand generation. |
| Expected outcomes | (a) Demand side barriers and interventions are reflected in health system and new vaccine proposals and through country dialogue with Gavi Alliance partners. (b) Well designed and executed demand generation interventions for immunisation engage and mobilise caregivers, communities and other key in-country stakeholders to - increase coverage and equity. |
| Strengths | (a) The guide provides a comprehensive demand generation framework including 5 main interventions. (b) The guide provides a set of links to country cases studies and global documents for details on how to implement each of these interventions. |
| Contraints/Limitations | This guide provides an overview of main concepts and main interventions in demand generation. It is limited in so far as it does not provide a “how to” guide for assessing barriers and designing implementations (but refers to and provides links to resources that do). |
| Why use it | Demand related barriers are emerging in many countries as a major reason for zero dose or under immunised children. There is growing recognition of the role that demand generation interventions can play in helping countries increase the coverage and equity of immunisation, as well as making progress towards the universal health coverage targets in the Sustainable Development Goals. |
| Who should use it | The guide should be used by proposal developers to ensure demand related barriers and interventions are integrated into immunisation and health system proposals. This includes core EPI staff and partners, health promotion and education staff of the MoH, other relevant sectors and civil society agencies. |
