Working under the leadership of the Government and through the One Team under One Roof approach, UNICEF has been supporting the National Emergency Action Plan (NEAP) for Polio Eradication by ensuring uninterrupted vaccine supply, increasing the number of children receiving polio vaccines in the hardest to reach districts through evidence-based social and behavior change and communication (SBCC) efforts to build trust and increase demand within communities for vaccination. The polio program faces several challenges, including demand-based refusals, organized community boycotts, low routine immunization, and inaccessible areas for multiple reasons. The UNICEF polio program is responding by widening the scope of services in areas with numerous challenges and where children are exposed to multiple deprivations by working closely with Nutrition, Health, WASH, and SBCC sections to deliver integrated essential services in the polio high-risk areas to address community demand and need beyond polio vaccination.
