Getting Started

Welcome to the Learning Network for Countries in Transition! LNCT is a community dedicated to supporting countries as they transition away from Gavi support to full domestic financing of their national immunization programs. Our information-sharing platform aims to connect Gavi transitioning country practitioners and policymakers with the tools, resources, and knowledge they need to effectively manage the Gavi transition process. This getting started guide will help you understand how to navigate the platform. 

Note: You can opt to view our website in your native language by using the “Select Language’ function on our homepage. 

LNCT Membership

LNCT is a diverse community of Gavi countries in- or- nearing the final, accelerated phase of Gavi transition, as well as early post-transition countries, partner organizations, technical facilitators, and network coordinators who manage LNCT operations. Members of the LNCT Country Core Groups (CCGs) include country immunization practitioners and health and finance policymakers who are involved in financing and managing country immunization programs. To find out more about our countries and partner organizations, please visit Who We Are.

How to Navigate the LNCT Platform

LNCT collaborates with network partners and member countries to provide both in-person and virtual learning engagements based around member-identified priority topics within four broad focus areas. You can find out more information on the focus areas, specific topics within each one, see related resources, news, and events, and explore LNCT country transition data on our interactive dashboards by clicking on the focus area of interest on our homepage.

Our resource library is a searchable collection of tools and documents related to various technical areas around the Gavi transition. The library consists of research articles, policy briefs, reports, guidebooks, country data, and other resources pertinent to Gavi transition or immunization programs generally. You can filter the resources by topic, type, or country.

Once you register as a LNCT member, you will become a member of the LNCT discussion platform. Use the discussion forum to connect with other LNCT country teams, partners and experts. Post questions, suggestions, and share your experiences and challenges with the LNCT community. Anyone who is a member can begin a new discussion topic or respond to existing topics.

Find the latest news  related to Gavi transition and immunization, upcoming events of interest to LNCT members, and blog posts written by members and partners of the network. You can also view the archive of past LNCT newsletter issues.

The LNCT directory contains the contact and biographical information of all LNCT members. Network members can view member profiles to see what organization or country they’re associated with and can also filter members by team type or country.
