In countries where JSI, through the Maternal & Child Survival Project (MCSP), supported immunization programming, we worked with Ministries of Health and other partners to improve the generation, quality, and use of routine immunization data at the point of service delivery (i.e. at the health facility and community levels). In addition, JSI's MCSP team carried out…

In all countries where the Maternal and Child Survival Program (MCSP) supports immunization programs, staff provided technical support to countries to implement Reaching Every District/Reaching Every Child (RED/REC). The RED/REC approach has proven effective for improving immunization coverage and reaching eligible populations and there is potential to use these strategies in other RMNCH areas. In…
