To mark World Cervical Cancer Elimination Day on 17 November, VillageReach invites you to the online premiere of our short film, Peer-to-Peer Learning to Improve HPV Vaccine Coverage.
This film highlights how communities in Manica Province, Mozambique are working together to improve HPV vaccination coverage through peer-to-peer learning and co-creation. Featuring Nelma, a recently vaccinated adolescent, alongside caregivers, health workers and government representatives, the film captures how collaboration and local leadership are helping overcome myths, strengthen trust and protect more girls from cervical cancer.
The initiative is supported by the Gates Foundation, and delivered in partnership with the Ministries of Health of Mozambique and Nigeria and with Bull City Learning. It forms part of the wider HPV Peer-to-Peer Learning Project, which aims to increase health worker capacity to improve HPV vaccination coverage in Nigeria and Mozambique through training and skills development of EPI and health staff on routinized HPV vaccination rollout and co-development and implementation of local solutions to priority HPV vaccination challenges.
This work forms part of VillageReach’s broader commitment to HPV vaccine delivery and adolescent health. In Malawi and Mozambique, VillageReach is implementing the HPV Integrate project, expanding routine HPV vaccination through health system integration. In Nigeria and the Democratic Republic of Congo, we are providing technical assistance to improve outreach and vaccine demand among adolescent girls.
We invite you to join us for the premiere and look forward to continuing the conversation as we progress toward cervical cancer elimination, together.
