Afghanistan continues to face low routine immunization coverage, particularly among zero-dose and under-immunized children in polio high-risk districts. Nangarhar remain vulnerable due to population mobility, misinformation, weak follow-up of defaulters, and limited community-facility linkages. This project leverages Community Health Workers (CHWs) and Community Health Supervisors (CHSs) under the CBHC framework to increase routine immunization uptake, reduce zero-dose children, and strengthen maternal, child health, nutrition, WASH, and birth registration services in alignment with MoPH, Polio Emergency Plan, and UNICEF strategies.
