Civil Society Platform on Health (CSPH)/ Global Alliance for Vaccine and Immunization (GAVI) CSO Constituency Project

Civil Society Platform on Health (CSPH)/ Global Alliance for Vaccine and Immunization (GAVI) CSO Constituency Project: The project is a one (1) year project funded through Catholic Relieve Services and Implemented under Civil Society in Malaria, Immunization, and Nutrition (ACOMIN) in Jere and MMC Borno State. The project aimed to stimulate an increase in uptake of routine immunization and engender community ownership of the RI process. A target of 764 women was directly reached through community-level activities such as Focused Group Discussion, Health talks, Antenatal clinics, House to house sensitization, and interpersonal communications. More indirectly this activity has reached 6000 women with RI awareness with the aim of eliciting the perceptions and beliefs of community members on principles of immunization by mobilizing underserved communities and defaulter tracking to help reduce cases of non-compliance with vaccination/schedules.
