Evaluation of GAVI's Injection Safety Support
This report presents the findings of an evaluation commissioned by the GAVI Alliance to analyze the sustainability of its Injection Safety (INS) support. In 2002, GAVI started providing INS support to national immunization programs to introduce or increase the use of Auto-Disable (AD) syringes. The support came in two forms: 1) in-kind, in the form of AD syringes and safety boxes, and 2) in cash, for those countries that already had a secure, multi-year source of AD syringes and safety boxes, but proposed to use INS support for other injection safety activities.
