Driving joint advocacy to accelerate immunization equity in Africa
Despite progress over two decades, Africa’s immunization gains face growing threats. To address this, PATH facilitated the development of the Africa Regional Advocacy Strategy on Immunization 2025–2030.
Co-created with the African Union, Africa CDC, WHO, UNICEF, Gavi, civil society, and Expanded Programme on Immunization leaders from 14 countries, the strategy unites regional institutions, governments, partners, and communities around a shared vision: By 2030, ensure strong regional and national leadership that accelerates progress toward immunization targets to reach zero-dose, underimmunized, and missed communities across Africa.
The strategy focuses on:
• Strengthening political leadership
• Securing sustainable financing
• Reinforcing accountability
• Building vaccine confidence
• Advancing regional harmonization and manufacturing
This is more than a framework—it’s a call to action. By aligning stakeholders around bold priorities and measurable outcomes, it aims to save lives and build a healthier, more resilient Africa.
