Overview

To help address the challenges facing the immunization program, GAVI provided financial support to Kenya to
strengthen its Immunization system to achieve equitable immunization outcomes. UNICEF received
programmable amount of US$10,076,904.11 from Gavi to support the implementation of the activities at
national level and in counties, as following: non COVID-19 re-programmed amount US$6,864,114.11; COVID19 reprogrammed amount US$1,598,926.00; and enhanced quality assurance activities by UNICEF
(US$1,613,864.00). The role of UNICEF is to manage the grant on behalf of the Ministry of Health and the first
disbursement was received from GAVI in April 2017, but the implementation fully commenced in November
2017 after the government had addressed most of the issues that had been outlined for action. This GAVI HSS
program was designed, from inception, with sustainability as part of the design, and it took into consideration
various parameters of sustainability that included political, financial, technical, managerial, and social capital.
The programme will conclude by September 2023.
The purpose of this summative evaluation is to carry out an end-term assessment of the GAVI HSS program
that is ending in September 2023 to assess its contribution in achieving the immunization systems
strengthening and coverage and equity objectives with a focus on the relevance, coherence, effectiveness,
efficiency, and sustainability of the program. The programme outcomes and other elements of programmatic
achievement will be evaluated as part of the effectiveness component of this evaluation. The evaluation is
part of donor requirement and was included as part of the results framework for the program at inception.
