During 2016-2017, a rapid assessment of the comprehensive multi-year planning (cMYP) process for immunization was completed. The analysis included 14 country case studies and 12 country desk reviews. Objectives were to understand needs for immunization planning, learn lessons from the past ten years of cMYP experiences, and identify best practices of developing and using cMYPs.
In particular, four components of the cMYP process were identified as needing improvements:
Streamlining the strategic planning process
Increase usability and impact of annual operational plans
Changes to the cMYP costing approach and tool
Building national capacity for immunization planning that is well integrated into national health planning and budgeting processes
Based on the findings of the rapid assessment, UNICEF and partners developed a structured literature review of current recommended approaches to define best practices for strategic and annual operational planning for immunization.
