Analysis of progress towards sustainable financing of immunization in ten African countries

Immunization is a success story for global health and development, saving millions of lives every year at relatively low costs. However, each year, about 20 million infants do not receive the full course of the basic vaccines, with over 50% of them not receiving any vaccines. At the Addis Declaration on Immunization in 2016, African leaders committed to support immunization with the goal of ensuring that every African benefits from immunization.

Reflecting on these commitments, PATH set out to assess the progress in the implementation of the Addis Declaration in ten selected countries. A retrospective study on the status of immunization financing, including the factors affecting adequate financing for immunization, was conducted by reviewing secondary data from various sources including global and country-based immunization and health databases and published peer reviewed and gray literature.

The following resources include a technical brief detailing the key findings, the full report, and country-specific profiles.
