Content	Structured around five major areas: Planning, Coordination and Management of Resources; Reaching all Eligible Populations; Engaging with Communities; Monitoring and Using Data for Action; and supportive supervision. The toolkit provides a menu of tailored strategies to deliver life-saving vaccines in urban areas especially to urban poor populations.
Expected outcomes	Users of the toolkit will become more familiar with the range of strategies and service delivery methods that are applicable in urban settings.
Strengths	Users of the toolkit will become more familiar with the range of strategies and service delivery methods that are applicable in urban settings.
Contraints/Limitations	Urban health strategies and terminology is highly context specific, so the guide recommends careful tailoring of strategy and terminology to local settings.
Why use it	With rapidly growing urban populations especially in developing regions, immunization programmes need to adapt programme policies and strategies to meet needs of mobile, high density, more diverse urban populations particularly those in slum environments.
Who should use it	For all stakeholders involved in planning, implementation and monitoring of immunization services in urban areas including Governments (City, Municipal, local), Policy makers, Programme managers, Frontline health care workers, Civil society organizations and civil society, Private sector and urban community members.
