This project aims to increase equitable access to COVID-19 vaccines, particularly among priority groups and vulnerable populations. It also seeks to reinforce health systems through strengthened vaccine delivery, community outreach, data systems, and the delivery of gender-equitable immunization and primary health care in seven African countries. Project activities include: (1) providing technical support for the implementation and monitoring of vaccination programmes, particularly gender-responsive components; (2) developing vaccination strategies and plans with gender-responsive interventions; and (3) deploying mobile teams to vaccinate priority groups.

The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) increased COVID-19 vaccination rates among high-priority groups in seven countries. (2) strengthened health systems in seven countries to successfully distribute and deliver COVID-19 vaccines; and (3) developed gender-responsive immunization strategies.
