Benchmarking Immunization Program Performance in the Africa Region

The report intends to help shape the Africa Region's engagement in immunization, and, its major findings both validate conventional wisdom on immunization, and challenge the development community to explore new interventions. According to the study, the majority of countries in Sub-Saharan Afri...
