The Teaching Vaccine Economics Everywhere (TVEE) project in partnership with Aga Khan University (AKU) will be organizing a workshop in Karachi focusing on the costing of vaccine programs. It will be held at AKU from 20-21 February 2020.
The workshop is developed by professional team of seasoned health economists from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, WITS School of Public Health, IIHMR University, Aga Khan University, Makerere University, Mahidol University and University of Ouagadougou. The workshop series aims to strengthen skills related to economics and financing of national immunization programs to improve the sustainability of vaccine delivery in low and middle-income countries.
At the end of the second workshop the participants will be able to:
Understand different types of costs, sources and quality of data, perspectives and methodologies.
Apply the costing methodologies for calculating cost of routine immunization at different levels and estimating cost of fully immunized child.
This program is designed for professionals and academics who are involved in planning and implementation of immunization programs and projects. The target participants for this program would, therefore, include government representatives (national, state-level, district-level) engaged with immunization, NiTAG members, GAVI program managers, other policy makers, and academics.
Some trainees will be offered scholarships for travel and lodging expenses.
