CORE Group Polio Project FY20 Annual Report

The Fiscal Year 2020 Annual Report has been structured this year by objective rather than by country. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in significant disruptions to polio immunization campaigns, outreach activities, community-based surveillance, and health facility support. In FY20, the project incorporated COVID-19 activities at no cost through the polio platform to protect communities in India, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia and Uganda from polio and the pandemic. At the same time, South Sudan and Nigeria received specific COVID-19 funding to carry out pandemic-related activities. This report documents the CGPP’s impact through the lens of COVID-19 on the six objectives and the community response to battle both poliovirus and the pandemic in an environment of widening immunization gaps and growing circulating poliovirus cases.
