CALL FOR CIVIL SOCIETY CASE STUDIES FOR THE ANNUAL GLOBAL VACCINE ACTION PLAN
(GVAP) 2011-2020 SECRETARIAT REPORT.

Background and Instructions for Submission

One of the Strategic Objectives (SO) of the GAVI Civil Society Organizations (CSO) Steering
Committee is to document on-the-ground reality in GAVI countries by collecting evidence of
CSO immunization activities and mapping the contributions of CSOs to increasing immunization
access and uptake.

The GAVI CSO Steering Committee is, therefore, seeking country case studies to be included in
the annual Global Vaccine Action Plan (GVAP) 2011-2020 Secretariat Report. The GVAP
Secretariat Report is prepared each year to detail country progress in achieving the five GVAP
Goals and the six GVAP Strategic Objectives (SO). The GVAP Goals and SOs are:
- Goal 1: Achieve a world free of poliomyelitis
- Goal 2: Meet global and regional elimination targets
- Goal 3: Meet vaccination coverage targets in every region, country and community
- Goal 4: Develop and introduce new and improved vaccines and technologies
- Goal 5: Exceed Millennium Development Goal (MDG) 4 target for reducing child mortality
- SO1: All countries commit to immunization as a priority
- SO2: Individuals and communities understand the value of vaccines and demand
immunization both as a right and a responsibility
- SO3: The benefits of immunization are equitably extended to all people
- SO4: Strong immunization systems are an integral part of a well-functioning health system
- SO5: Immunization programmes have sustainable access to predictable funding, quality supply
and innovative technologies
- SO6: Country, regional and global research and development (R&D) innovations maximize the
benefits of immunization

For this years GVAP Secretariat Report, the GAVI CSO Steering Committee, would like to
highlight CSO case studies that contribute, in particular, to GVAP SO2 and SO3.
- SO2: Individuals and communities understand the value of vaccines and demand immunization
both as a right and a responsibility (i.e. demand creation / increasing demand for vaccines)
- SO3: The benefits of immunization are equitably extended to all people (i.e. access to vaccines
for all segments of society including the poorest and hard to reach)

If your organization or country platform is contributing to GVAP SO2 or SO3, please consider
completing the questionnaire below.

Following submission of your case study, members of the GAVI CSO Steering Committee will
review all submissions. A consultant working on behalf of the GAVI CSO Steering Committee will
work with you to finalize the case study. Once finalized, the case studies will be compiled and
submitted to the GVAP Secretariat.
