Background

Support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, VillageReach worked globally to encourage new models of vaccine supply chain system design in order to reach the final 20% of children who currently do not have access to life-saving vaccines. In partnership with ministries of health, UNICEF, and other global, regional, and local partners, the Final 20 Project: Accelerating Next-Generation iSC improved vaccine availability, potency, and cost efficiency by scaling, seeding, and enabling transitions to next-generation iSC across Gavi countries.
