Enhancing childhood immunization coverage in Mozambique and Malawi: Study protocol of a mixed methods evaluation of the ‘Let’s talk about vaccines’ multisite community-based participatory project
This evaluation is an opportunity to share the use of novel and best practices, opportunities and challenges for improved community-responsive programming in routine immunization. It will be fundamental in providing evidence on the impact of interventions, evidence on mechanisms behind improvements in under- two immunization outcomes due to codesigned community-driven solutions and informing their scalability in similar contexts. Findings will inform the development of a comprehensive framework to guide the scalability of community-based approaches on childhood immunization uptake and access into similar contexts.
