Description and results
Description
This project supports UNICEF's collaboration with the Zambia Ministry of Health in the implementation of Child Health Week (CHW - June-July 2010) activities which aim to strengthen immunization coverage in Zambia. It is a semi-annual health intervention targeting children under five years of age. Beginning in 2000 as a vitamin A intervention and National Immunization Days, this has grown to a broad range of interventions that include: vaccination, growth monitoring, treatment of children using guidelines for the integrated management of childhood illnesses, re-treatment of bed nets, screening of children for malnutrition, and provision of family planning services. CHWs are part of the district annual plans.
