The ongoing conflict has led to severe restrictions on access to many districts, making it difficult for health workers to deliver vaccines and reach all children, especially in rural or conflict-affected areas. Moreover, the conflict has caused massive population displacement, resulting in large numbers of people living in crowded and underserved displacement camps where the risk of disease spread is higher and routine immunisation coverage is low. Across Yemen, 46% of all health facilities are only partially functioning or completely out of service due to shortages of staff, funds, electricity, medicines, and equipment. This weakens vaccination efforts and makes it hard to prevent the spread of poliovirus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>INTERSOS has held a long-time presence in Yemen, since 2008. At present INTERSOS is implementing two projects, supporting the Global Polio Eradication Initiative by engaging with local civil society, social influencers and broad community leadership to foster community-driven demand for childhood vaccinations in Yemen.<\/p>\n<p>INTERSOS, in Yemen, contributes to the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) strategies and actions through:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Routine immunisation:<\/strong> INTERSOS works to ensure the supply and distribution of vaccines to health facilities and mobile clinics, monitor immunisation coverage, and enhance the cold chain system to maintain vaccine efficacy. A special focus is placed on reaching remote, rural, and hard-to-reach areas, where access to health services is limited. The primary target is zero-dose children (<em>those that lack access to or are never reached by routine immunization services)<\/em>, who have missed routine vaccinations.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Outbreak Response:<\/strong> INTERSOS is preparing for and responding quickly to any polio outbreak to prevent the virus from spreading through its trained health staff.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Risk Communication and Community Engagement:<\/strong> INTERSOS is conducting social mobilisation activities through its Community Health Workers and Community Health Volunteers network, as well as a specialised consultant on community awareness raising and campaigns. INTERSOS uses its volunteer network, radio broadcasts, community meetings, and door-to-door awareness campaigns to foster vaccination demand.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Strengthening of Health Infrastructure and Human Resources:<\/strong> We train healthcare workers, vaccinators, and volunteers in proper vaccine administration, cold chain management, and data collection through refresher and on the job coaching and trainings. In coordination with the Ministry of Public Health and Population (MoPHP), INTERSOS is improving logistics for vaccine storage and transportation to maintain cold chain integrity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][uncode_counter value=&#8221;18.338&#8243;
