Think, Plan, Create, Act, Assess. These are the five steps to delivering effective immunisation advocacy, according to a new website.
The Advocacy for Immunisation portal has been developed by PATH and the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health’s International Vaccine Access Center. It is powered by financial support from Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance.
The site, available in English and French, features a range of resources to help immunisation advocates identify areas where change is needed and then equips them with a ‘toolbox’ to design and deliver a successful strategy.
In the final phase, immunisation advocates are encouraged to assess their work. This helps to refine projects that need improvement and ditch those that are not working.
