In our previous blog, we discussed how Gavi transition and the resulting loss of access to Gavi-prices, increased financial burden, and loss of partner support may reduce a country’s ability to effectively procure vaccines. In this blog, we will go into greater detail on how countries can use market intelligence resources,

Gavi-transitioning countries face many challenges in ensuring hard-fought immunization gains are maintained as external financial and technical support is reduced. Vaccine procurement is one area that may be affected by transition – but preparatory strategies do exist. The importance of market intelligence to procurement and Gavi transition may not be obvious because such support is embedded in Gavi and partner technical support and is less visible than co-financing challenges.
… ContinuedLNCT, in partnership with Common Thread, developed two video case studies on vaccine demand in Vietnam. The stories detail the immunization journeys of young mothers in the H’mong community of Yên Bái Province, Cha and Do, through short films to be used for health worker capacity building. Their stories, captured in their own words, show how community engagement strategies can be used effectively to create empathy and build demand for vaccines among vulnerable groups.
… ContinuedAs Gavi support decreases and countries take on a higher proportion of the financing of immunization, they must mobilize not only the funding needed for vaccines, but also funding for critical operational costs, including cold chain and logistics, service delivery, health promotion, and more. LNCT developed two resource products to illustrate how countries can mobilize adequate resources and promote efficient spending to sustain high immunization coverage in decentralized health systems.
… ContinuedExploring the incremental costs of COVID-19 vaccine introduction and deployment.
HOW YOU CAN USE THIS MATERIAL:Governments, partners, and other stakeholders should use this tool to estimate the introductory and deployment costs of COVID-19 vaccine procurement and service delivery in their country, then use the estimates to prepare budgets and mobilize resources.
… ContinuedNational immunization programs, and immunization partners, may need to consider new strategies and new funding sources in order to mobilize sufficient funding for immunization following the Gavi transition. This two-page LNCT brief outlines some of the key challenges found across LNCT countries with decentralized systems and offers several promising strategies for NIPs to support increased resource mobilization and effective service delivery.
