A qualitative process evaluation of community-based participatory research and human-centered design in the ‘Let’s talk about vaccines’ approach in Mozambique and Malawi
The evaluation findings from the 'Let's talk about vaccines' approach highlighted key elements for applying community-based participatory research and human-centered design to collaboratively identify immunization barriers and create tangible solutions to overcome them. By integrating these approaches into routine immunization programs, it can potentially improve vaccination efforts for children under two in low and middle-income countries, leading to lasting change. Supporting policies that prioritize community involvement in research, program design and implementation and sustainable funding enhances immunization strategies, ensuring that they are tailored to local needs.
