Unlocking Tailored Solutions: Understanding Root Causes and Barriers to Reaching Zero-Dose Children and Missed Communities

May 28, 2025

Join Gavi’s Zero-Dose Learning Hub (ZDLH) on 28 May for a 90-minute webinar featuring immunization experts from the Gates Foundation’s Zero-Dose Learning Agenda (ZDLA) and ZDLH Country Learning Hub teams. Speakers will examine the spectrum of factors—from high-level policy and system enablers to service-delivery constraints, community-level demand, and socio-cultural dynamics—influencing the ability to identify, monitor, and measure zero-dose children and missed communities.

The webinar will include an overview of ZDLH objectives, methods, Political Economy Analysis findings, and ZDLA’s objective, approach, and early learnings on ZD implementation. In-country teams from Bangladesh, Cambodia, and Uganda will explore how health systems, service delivery, and community-level factors—including poor service quality, gender norms, and political or structural constraints—interact to influence the identification, monitoring, and measurement of zero-dose children and missed communities.

Simultaneous interpretation in French will be available.

  • Sarah Bryer, Clinton Health Access Initiative, ZDLA
