Polio Transition Progress: Monitoring and Evaluation Report (Q3/2024)

The Polio Transition Monitoring and Evaluation Report provides an overview of the progress made as of Q3 2024 in countries prioritized for polio transition towards the goals, strategic outcomes, and milestones of the Polio Transition Strategic Framework.

The list of priority Polio Transition countries was revised in 2024 using standardized criteria that guide decisions on countries’ eligibility to enter onto or readiness to exit from the polio transition priority country list. The list now comprises a total of 21 countries: 14 from the African Region and 6 from the Eastern Mediterranean Region and 1 from the South-East Asia Region. Countries that have exited the priority list are placed on a ‘watch list’ and monitored for a minimum of three years to ensure  there is no backsliding of functions.
