March 20, 2012 — MCHIP

Country Overview

Funding Began 2011

MCHIP Partners Involved JSI

Key Partners in Country MOH RCI, UNICEF, WHO and others
 
Technical Scope
  • Routine immunization

Scale

National Scale Technical assistance will center on further improving the RCI computerized polio surveillance system, including information analysis and planning. MCHIP will work primarily through existing rayon-based NGO projects, and liaise with the MOH and international immunization partners to fill technical gaps. Activities will initially focus on improving monitoring at the rayon level.  

Targeted Geographic Focus At the rayon (local) level, activities will focus on two areas: (1) strengthening  public health linkages for improving immunization coverage; and (2) improved risk group identification in areas with inadequate immunization coverage.
 

Key Activities:

  • Build capacity for monitoring and evaluation analysis at national and rayon levels.
  • Improve evidence-based program planning and prioritization at the district level for identifying and immunizing groups and areas with inadequate immunization.
  • Improve partner coordination on immunization aimed at an integrated, public health approach for maintaining optimal immunization coverage at local and community levels.
Major Expected Results
  • National/rayon level guidelines developed with MCHIP technical input.
  • National EPI staff trained with MCHIP technical support.
  • Rayon immunization plans developed with MCHIP technical support.
  • Rayons implementing MCHIP-supported approaches.
  • Government, NGO and donor agencies jointly developing and implementing rayon-specific and national plans to improve and sustain immunization coverage.
  • Existing programs and organizations adding or increasing their own support for routine immunization.
