Preamble

Pakistan Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) Coalition for Health and Immunization (PCCHI) is a platform of CSOs who are working

for health and immunization across Pakistan. PCCHI was founded in 2012 through the efforts of 15 CSOs who at that time were

working together for health and immunization (with funds from Gavi). The aim of the platform is to organize and strengthen CSOs to

offer wide range of services and outreach for providing access to better health and immunization services. The member CSOs have

established their programmes in different districts for social development integrating immunization through direct and indirect

interventions. The CSOs work vary depending upon their comparative advantage and thematic focus. Nonetheless PCCHI keeps

harmony with Federal, Provincial, District Health and Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI) departments to work jointly for

increasing EPI coverage.

mobilization, research, advocacy, awareness raising, monitoring and service delivery for reaching difficult, neglected and hard to

areas through local staff to ensure vaccination in such areas. CSOs are also viable in addressing refusals due to continued and

consistent efforts, credibility and effective communication strategies. The social mobilization and deep roots in communities are core

of any activity that CSOs undertake.

agencies to get informed of international moves to explore and identify new areas of learning and expansion for CSOs. At the same
