Guidance
Achieving immunization targets with the comprehensive effective vaccine management (EVM) framework
The World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) are intensifying and coordinating efforts to catalyse immunization supply chain improvements and performance in countries through the comprehensive EVM framework – a four-step strategy for continuous immunization supply chain improvement, quality management, optimization and innovation. The comprehensive EVM framework builds on the success of the EVM initiative launched in 2010 to help countries evaluate the performance of their immunization supply chains, and benchmark this performance against best-practice standards. In five years, the EVM initiative has helped to uncover important shortcomings in the performance of many countries’ immunization supply chains. Addressing these has required a comprehensive rethink of how WHO and UNICEF, together with the global immunization community, can more effectively catalyse immunization supply chain improvements in countries.
