Coverage surveys carried out when needed for allocation of performance-based grants

Responsible entity: Secretariat
Completed by: December 2005
Total budget: $649,625

Target description and how it will help reach GAVI milestones

Reward disbursement is conditional to external verification of coverage. Countries that fail their first DQA can choose to undertake a coverage survey.

ACCESS MILESTONE: With successful DQA and improved performance, countries will get continued funding and be able to further increase coverage.

Justification for selection of activities

The Board has decided that coverage surveys may be used to externally validate coverage data in countries that fail DQA. If the coverage survey confirms the reported DTP3 in the JRF, the country will be able to access performance-based funding.
