Over the course of the last decade, the situation of children in Mozambique has improved significantly. Currently, more children are living to celebrate their fifth birthday than ever before following sustained progress in reducing under-five mortality, thereby working to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 3. However, many challenges remain, particularly regarding the stark disparities in child health outcomes between poorer provinces, as well as for the less educated and the poor, where progress has lagged behind advances enjoyed by the rest of the country.     Though immunization is a global health and development success story, saving millions of lives every year, and being a key component of primary health care and an indisputable human right, missed opportunities for vaccination (MOV) are a significant contributor to low vaccination coverage in Mozambique. These MOV, are most frequently attributable to physical and social barriers, including practices of caregivers and health workers, limited resources, inadequate information about the benefits of vaccination, and inadequate tracking systems to identify children due for a vaccination, among others.    This situation has deteriorated due the COVID-19 and political unrest in some provinces which created more difficulties to access immunization services. As a result of these limitations, many children are still without completing the immunization national scheme. This prompted the EPI programme to develop a     The MOH of Mozambique is facing this situation and has to achieve the common international vision of leaving no one behind with immunization (Alliance 2021-2025 strategy). Under this strategy, the global goal is to get a 25% reduction in zero-dose children across countries. To achieve this vision the MOH is working with Gavi and partners to reach missing communities with special attention to zero-doses and under-immunized children. So far, under the Gavi framework, many important steps are being done in that direction.   Jhpiego is currently providing technical assistance to MOH and partners to develop the Equity Accelerator Fund (EAF) application  using a phased approach.Jhpiego support in this phase aims at responding to the following questions: - Why these zero dose children have not received immunisation services and reasons behind low immunisation coverage in the country? - Why children are not reached with existing solutions and reasons for missed opportunities? - What are immunisation challenges related to the supply side and demand side? - What role, if any, do gender-related barriers contribute to the zero-dose problem?
