On 14 March 2025, five Ethiopian civil society organisations (CSOs) that are grantees within the Gavi CSO fund manager mechanism joined the Ministry of Health (MoH), provincial Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI) teams, Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, MannionDaniels and Oxford Policy Management in a hybrid (in person and online) project launch event.
The event provided an opportunity to recap the objectives, scope and key activities of the Gavi CSO fund manager mechanism – and synergy with the health system and immunisation strengthening (HSIS) project in Ethiopia – as well as strengthening partnerships between CSOs, EPI, Gavi and the fund manager.
Gavi’s CSO grantees in Ethiopia are:
Consortium of Christian Relief and Development Association (CCRDA), Ethiopian Orthodox Church Development and Inter-Church Aid Commission (EOC-DICAC), Organization for Social Services, Health and Development (OSSHD), Oromia Development Association (ODA) and Partnership for Pastoralists Development Association (PAPDA).
“It was a wonderful, much-needed opportunity for all the Gavi CSO Ethiopia project stakeholders to come together in one room,” said one participant.
