Strengthening Expanded Program for Immunization (EPI) through facility-based supportive supervision in pastoralist and hard-to-reach part of Ethiopia: the experience of CORE Group Ethiopia
The result showed that the proportion of facilities with updated immunization monitoring chart, micro plan, cold chain status and immunization defaulters tracking mechanisms significantly improved from the first visit to the third visit. This suggests a positive correlation between regular and sustained supportive supervision visits and improvement in immunization program management. Building the capacity of the district health staff for continuous supervisory support to the facilities and strengthening the facility management committee is mandatory for sustainability of immunization program.
