PROJECT BACKGROUND:

Immunization is a proven success story for global health and development, saving millions of lives every year. Vaccines play a pivotal role in prevention and control of many communicable diseases and have attributed to the reduction in the number of deaths from infectious diseases, dramatically. Since vaccines also prevent disability, which can impair children’s growth and cognitive development, vaccination ensures that the child not only survives but also flourishes.

Vaccinating this cohort is significantly important considering the generalised vulnerability and the evidence that communities with zero dose children also have a significant number of under vaccinated children. Zero-dose children are more likely to experience early childhood nutritional failures linked to high risk of morbidity and mortality in childhood, poor growth trajectories, and poor health outcomes over the life course.

Missed communities, which are home to clusters of zero-dose and under vaccinated children, are vulnerable to recurrent vaccine preventable disease outbreaks, such as measles, which spread rapidly, worsening health and development outcomes. These missed communities often face multiple deprivations and vulnerabilities, including in adequate access to basic services like water and sanitation, socio-economic inequities, and often gender related barriers (like mother’s access to education, lack of household decision making for healthcare, gender based violence, child marriages and teenage pregnancies). The deprivations exist across multiple geographic settings, predominantly in urban/peri-urban, remote rural or conflict settings. Thus, reaching zero-dose and under vaccinated children would mean reaching the missed communities they are part of and building the link to the healthcare system and essential services. Thus, the imperative of reaching and ensuring complete immunization for zero-dose children becomes pressing.

Under Zero Governments Strategic Approach for reaching zero dose children, Ministry of Health Mandated UNDP India to provide technical and implementation support for nationwide roll-out of U-WIN. U-WIN is world’s largest Electronic Immunization Registry for registering Pregnant woman and children and further established digital tracking mechanism for vaccination status to reach and reduce zero dose children.

For nationwide roll-out of U-WIN, U-WIN coordinators – Project Delivery are deployed at multiple locations to coordinate with district and state functionaries.
