Our Impact So Far

  • Supported risk communication and community engagement interventions such as house-to-house visits and community dialogues, radio interventions, distribution of pamphlets and stickers, to verify vaccination status in each household and motivate eligible unvaccinated people to get a COVID-19 vaccine.
  • A total of 11,000 people (approximately 3,700 households) were reached, many of them several times. 
  • Australian support contributed to a rise in full vaccination coverage from 47% in July to 74% by the end of September.
