Advocacy for Immunisation Platform Launches

The new web-based platform – developed by PATH and IVAC/Johns Hopkins University with significant input from WHO, Unicef, and Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance and the support of many immunisation partners at global and country level – is intended “to further collective efforts to improve immunisation and help ensure life-saving vaccines reach children everywhere…”

The online advocacy platform http://advocacy.vaccineswork.org “provides guidance and tools to in-country stakeholders in developing their advocacy strategies and implementation plans in support of strengthened immunisation programmes and increased coverage and equity. The platform has been developed in response to a high demand from in-country stakeholders for advocacy capacity and skills strengthening. It contains self-guided tools, resources and information about advocacy and communications, vaccines and immunisation…” In October the tool will also be available in French.
