The Implementation Task Force (ITF) was co-chaired by WHO and the government of Norway. The objectives of the task force included:

• Assisting governments to ensure the existence and functioning of government-led coordination mechanisms for immunization partners at country level.
• Defining indicators and mechanisms to monitor National Immunization Programmes against defined indicators.
• Promoting the use and interpretation of appropriate assessment tools for evaluation of immunization programmes.
• Assisting governments to ensure that immunization services are integrated into health reform systems and that critical indicators are adapted into routinely used health system formats.
• Establishing and/or institutionalizing a mechanism for global coordination of country visits and technical assistance made by GAVI Partners.
