Abstract

In its Global Vaccine Action Plan (GVAP) Assessment Report 2016, the Strategic Group of Experts on Immunization (SAGE) made the recommendation that “WHO Regional Directors should make sure the progress towards the Global and Regional Vaccine Actions Plans is reviewed annually at Regional Committee meetings as requested in the WHA resolution WHA65.17. Reports prepared at the country level to review and discuss the progress made should be the basis of the discussion.”

As part of this process, WHO Regional Offices provide annually a report on the progress made towards the achievement of the GVAP and the Regional Vaccine Actions Plans goals. The reports summarize the main issues, challenges, successes and opportunities for countries in each respective region in 2016.
