We are pleased to share that data collection for the REACH-OUT Project in Nigeria has been successfully completed across four states: Kaduna, Gombe, Lagos, and Ondo. Over the past weeks, our field teams engaged over 600 caregivers of children under five, listening to their experiences, challenges,

📢 Out now: REACH-OUT Project Newsletter Highlights from our 1st implementation year, milestones, cross-country learnings, & progress in Rwanda, Kenya & Nigeria as we lay the foundation to reach #zero-dose children through evidence, equity & partnership. reach-out-project.eu/sites/defaul...

These engagements brought together state and LGA immunization leaders, M&E, health educators, and community actors to align on research objectives, community entry strategies, data requirements, and coordination mechanisms for both qualitative and quantitative data collection.

From data collection to evidence generation As part of the REACH-OUT project's aim to generate new evidence on zero-dose households and communities, the consortium, coordinated by Università Bocconi, has successfully completed quantitative and qualitative data collection in Kenya and Rwanda.

EDCTP and Global Health EDCTP3 Joint Undertaking convened a Financial & Project Management Training Workshop in Senegal. This supports the #REACHOUTProject in enhancing project delivery, strengthening compliance, and ensuring high-quality research outcomes.

Training kick-off! CIIC-HIN in action. We’ve launched the REACH-OUT Data Collection Training in Rwanda, equipping field teams to start gathering high-quality data to identify barriers to reaching zero-dose and under-immunized children Real progress on the ground #ReachOutProject

The REACH-OUT team visited the National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA) to strengthen collaboration on improving routine immunization and reaching zero-dose children in Nigeria. Together, we're building equitable, data-driven solutions for stronger health systems across Africa.

The REACH-OUT team hosted a 3-day Training of Trainers in Nigeria with partners from CIHPNG, Bocconi University, NPHCDA & SwissTPH. Focus: harmonizing data collection, piloting tools & strengthening capacity ahead of Jan 2026 field implementation. This is preparation for impact! reach-out-project.eu
