AMP’s ADVIM project to improve advocacy for immunization financing in Benin, Burkina Faso, and Côte d’Ivoire was featured in The Civil Society Dose, the quarterly newsletter of the GAVI CSO Constituency. The article provided an overview of project scope and highlighted various advocacy micro projects currently being implemented in the three participating countries.
Established in 2009, ADVIM involves three main phases or activities: 1) situation analysis of existing national advocacy capacity, development of an advocacy resource base (online platform), and partnership building; 2) capacity strengthening through tailor-made, blended training and development of advocacy micro projects; and 3) creation of an advocacy model that can be rolled out across sub-Saharan Africa and transfer of the ADVIM training program to regional public health institutions.
