Featured project

Evaluation of demand-side incentives for immunisation

Demand-side incentives are support given to caregivers, rather than to health facilities, to encourage them to bring children for vaccination. Countries use them to close immunisation gaps, but evidence on how well they work, and for whom, is limited.
