Background

In Côte d’Ivoire, VillageReach partnered with the Ministry of Health to increase low COVID-19 vaccination rates.

We established the first COVID-19 vaccinodrome in Yopougon, an urban area in the city of Abidjan. We opened the site in December 2021 with the ability to vaccinate up to 1,000 people a day.

Through our outreach-focused approach, we increased vaccine convenience and used community mobilization to build vaccine demand.

How it
Works

Vaccine Operations and Systems Readiness: Established a high volume vaccination site in Abidjan.

Demand Generation and Management: Implementing systematic approach for social listening by establishing HealthAlert/VaccineCheck and using this platform to disseminate accurate info about COVID-19 vaccine through FAQs.
