Immunization Financing: A Resource Guide
2017
This resource guide compiles 26 briefs on topics related to the cost and financing of national immunization programs in low- and middle-income countries. The guide provides information and analysis to help advocates, policymakers, and program managers assess different financing options, approaches to strategic purchasing, and strategies for policy change, incorporating recent country experience in these areas.
The guide is an update to the Immunization Financing Toolkit: A Resource for Policy-Makers and Program Managers, published by the World Bank and the GAVI Alliance in December 2010. Since the publication of the toolkit in 2010, several important trends have emerged. First, the number of new vaccines has increased. Second, many countries are now in the process of transitioning from GAVI support and must quickly scale up domestic financing for immunization in order to sustain progress. Third, countries have made historic commitments to achieving UHC, to which immunization financing needs to be aligned.
This tool was developed by Results for Development (R4D), an organization founded in 2008, with a mission to improve health, education and development, while ensuring that local change agents are in the driver’s seat, and that knowledge is transformed into action.
