immunization stakeholders are responsible for supporting, implementing, and/or monitoring.

disruptions to routine immunization services exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic in the priority districts.

facilitate the use of routine immunization services by users in order to increase access and improve the experience of
the service by users and service providers. Acknowledging the deeply embedded gender inequalities that affect childcare
and access to/demand for services, and the prominent role that women play as caregivers, UNICEF supported a
