Summary

Background

The framework addresses financial sustainability issues in immunization programs, stemming from the growth of programs and the need to sustain coverage, introduce new vaccines, and use domestic and external resources reliably. It builds on previous assessments and focuses on countries at risk of defaulting on funding commitments.

Purpose

To provide a structured framework for gathering and analyzing information on immunization financing‍specifically, macroeconomic trends, expenditure, government and donor commitments, and budget planning. This supports strengthening immunization systems and assessing the feasibility of financing.

Scope and Methodology

The framework includes probing questions covering:

• Macroeconomic contexts (GDP growth, fiscal space, health financing).
• Immunization program expenditures (vaccines, operational costs).
• NIP objectives and budget integration.
• Budget planning processes and spending trends.
• Financing challenges, including co-financing for new vaccines.
• Stakeholder roles and technical assistance needs.

Analysis involves desk review of data and documents, integrated with one-week field missions to collect additional information through interviews with key stakeholders.

Expected Outcomes

• Comprehensive country reports summarizing assessments, findings, and practical recommendations.
• Short- and medium-term operational recommendations with specific activities, processes, and indicators for tracking progress.
• Work plans detailing timelines and milestones for implementation.
• Emphasis on policy dialogue and capacity building to promote financial sustainability and accountability.

Key Components

• Structured analysis to identify bottlenecks and opportunities in funding mobilization and efficiency.
• Annexes provide templates for monitoring and work plan development.
• Focus on ensuring timely payment of costs for vaccines and co-financing requirements.
