Project Overview
Under a USAID grant, JSIPL has been mandated to provide technical assistance to the Government of India and state governments of 18 select states and Union Territories to rapidly ramp up COVID-19 vaccination in the country. John Snow India Pvt. Ltd. (JSIPL) is the lead partner to aggregate, coordinate, and support the national and state governments with the technical assistance required to facilitate the scale-up of COVID-19 vaccination in the population, supported by several sub-awardees.
MOMENTUM Routine Immunization Transformation and Equity (MRITE) is currently engaged in enhancing the coverage of COVID-19 vaccination in India and other countries. It is a vaccination program to protect populations against COVID-19 disease and is currently operational in 18 states. MOMENTUM Routine Immunization Transformation and Equity with its 26 NGO partners (non-governmental organization partners) focuses on implementing best practices and exploring innovative ideas for the mass mobilization of vaccine-hesitant communities and unreached populations. The project works towards equitable COVID-19 vaccination coverage by supporting the vaccination of those who experience challenges in reaching out for vaccination or reside in inaccessible areas.
