LNCT video tutorial series on making the case for investment in immunization

Tutorial series with LNCT materials for immunization practitioners about Making the Case for Investment in Immunization. The materials aim to guide immunization practitioners to make the best case for additional funding for national immunization programs by drawing on the most up-to-date global evidence available.

Key topics:

• Identifying Decision Makers and Structuring Effective Messages

• Promoting Economic Growth through Immunization

• Immunization is an Efficient and Cost-Effective Investment

• Improving Child Health & Survival through Immunization

• Reducing the Effects of Poverty through Immunization

• Why Immunization Funding Needs to Increase

To provide guidance on how these materials could be used in practice, LNCT has produced and launched a tutorial video series with five videos. The first video in the series presents an approach to resource mobilization that can be used to gain the support of key stakeholders with the ultimate goal of ensuring long-term and sustainable funding for immunization. The next three videos walk through how to use the investment case materials to develop a presentation, brief, or talking points justifying investment for different activities in the context of the national immunization program – introducing a new vaccine, implementing activities to increase vaccine coverage in hard-to-reach areas, and conducting outreach activities at the sub-national level. The final video in the series demonstrates how to download and customize the materials for your own context. All of the materials, including the tutorial video series, are available in English, French, Portuguese, and Russian.
