Short name:
IA2030 – IG 1.2 Control, eliminate & eradicate VPDs
Data type:
Count / Proportion
Rationale:
Indicator selected for global monitoring for Immunization Agenda 2030 Strategic Priority Goal 1: Prevent disease.

Global, regional, and country partners can use evaluation findings for operational planning, and for communication and advocacy to:

• Ensure needed support to countries to achieve VPD control, elimination, and eradication initiatives, and

• Highlight and reinforce coordination of strategies to link VPD control, elimination and eradication initiatives with health system strengthening initiatives

Definition:
Achievement of all VPD control, elimination, and eradication targets endorsed by a global or regional body of WHO Member States, with target dates between 2021 and 2030, and that are based on incidence or prevalence measures.

• Numerator: Number of WHO Member States that met the VPD target

• Denominator: Number of WHO Member States with an endorsed VPD target based on incidence or prevalence measures

• Baseline year: 2020

• Target: All countries achieve the endorsed regional or global VPD control, elimination, and eradication targets

Disaggregation:
WHO Member States, disease
Method of measurement
Two monitoring and evaluation cycles will occur annually. The first is the indicator and revision cycle. WHO Regional Offices will conduct a review to confirm and revise the inclusion criteria for each VPD based on, the global or regional endorsement status, target time frame, and the target type and definition.

The second is the assessment and reporting cycle. Established regional verification and certification commissions, or verification committees, will assess the achievement status of the disease specific VPD target for each country.

Monitoring this indicator will require both:

1) An annual review to confirm and revise the inclusion criteria for each VPD based on the global or regional endorsement status, target time frame, and the target type and definition, and

2) Assessment and reporting, where established regional verification and certification commissions, or verification committees, will assess the achievement status of the disease-specific VPD target for each country
