A guide for conducting a situation analysis of Immunization Programme Performance

A situational analysis or desk review is commonly recommended for many activities including EPI Reviews and National Immunization Strategy (NIS) development. The Guide and Workbook for Conducting a Situation Analysis of Immunization Programme Performance enables national immunization programmes to conduct these situational analyses or desk reviews in a systematic way to identify and prioritise critical programme barriers, highlight programme success, and identify evidence gaps to be addressed. The accompanying Excel-based workbook is a useful tool to assess and document the status of the immunization programme under review. It provides a detailed list of barriers and targeted questions for a step-by-step systematic documentation of available evidence.
