Recognizing the importance of addressing inequities to ensure the immunization coverage and the health of every child, Gavi’s most recent five-year strategy (5.0: 2021-2025) focuses on zero dose (ZD) children and missed communities. Gavi’s 5.0 strategy and goals align with the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Immunization Agenda 2030 and its targets of a 25% reduction in the number of zero-dose children by 2020 and a reduction of 50% by 2030. Gavi’s equity approaches center around “strengthening primary healthcare systems, building and sustaining community demand, addressing gender barriers and using innovation to ensure that immunization services reach these children.”
To access Equity Access Fund (EAF) funding for Haiti, countries will need to perform analysis on how many, who, and where zero-dose children and missed communities and individuals are, as well as the barriers to reach them. This project will consolidate and build on the evidence base regarding the prevalence, distribution, and determinants of inequitable and under-immunization in Haiti. This work will effectively prepare the Expanded Program for Immunization (EPI) to submit a quality proposal for Gavi support.
The purpose of this consultancy is to support the development of a comprehensive EAF application package, including all relevant annexes. The Budget Facilitator will provide support to JSI and EPI colleagues to develop a budget.
