Assessing the use of geospatial data for immunization program implementation and associated effects on coverage and equity in the Democratic Republic of Congo
This research study shows that georeferenced microplans are well received, utilized, and led to changes in routine immunization service planning and delivery. In addition, the gender intervention is perceived to have led to changes in the approaches taken to overcome sociocultural gender norms and engage communities to reach as many children as possible, leveraging the ability of women to engage more effectively to support vaccination services. The quantitative analyses showed that georeferenced microplans may have contributed to a dramatic and sustained trend of high immunization coverage in the intervention site of Haut-Lomami, which saw dramatic improvement in coverage for 3 antigens and little change in Pentavalent drop-out rate over three years of implementation.
