Vaccine-Preventable Diseases
Strengthening civil society voices on immunisation policy, vaccine equity, and community trust to ensure no one is left unprotected.

We coordinate civil society engagement at WHO, GAVI, and CEPI - developing joint positions on vaccine access, immunisation system strengthening, and outbreak preparedness. Our members span research, clinical practice, community advocacy, and policy, ensuring diverse perspectives shape global immunisation decisions.
