| Resource | A guide for conducting a situation analysis of immunization programme performance |
|---|---|
| Purpose | This guide aims to enable national immunization programmes to use existing information sources to identify and prioritise critical programme barriers, while also highlighting programme successes. It also identifies evidence gaps which must be addressed before implementing programme improvements |
| Content | This guide breaks down the development of situation analysis into four well detailed sections. 1. Collection and gathering of data 2. Complete immunization coverage and equity overview 3. Determining barriers and documenting evidence 4. Prioritizing barriers in the context of the country |
| Expected outcomes | If conducted properly, the four-step process should yield a clear and credible list of barriers, each supported by documented evidence that is cited and easy to locate. A list of potential barriers for which evidence is lacking can also be generated to guide further research and data collection activities. |
| Strengths | Provides clear instruction on how to conduct a situational analysis on immunization performance, providing an extensive list of potential data source |
| Contraints/Limitations | The absence of primary data collection during desk review could make it difficult to identify root causes of issues impacting optimal coverage. |
| Why use it | The results of this can be used to guide data collection efforts across the country and facilitate gathering evidence in strategic subject areas for which information is missing. The results of this type of assessment can also be used for other purposes determined by the country or partner organizations. |
| Who should use it | Policy makers, immunization programme managers working at national and subnational levels, nongovernmental and civil society organizations |
