RFP: HPV Coverage Measurement

Note: This is not a limited submission and is being announced as a courtesy only.

The proposed project will focus on the following aims in 3-5 Gavi-supported countries with established HPV vaccination programs i.e., those that introduced HPV vaccine three or more years ago. All objectives should be completed in every proposed country with the exception of objective ‘a’, which can be proposed in a subset of countries.

a)            Conduct methods research to help define the optimal methodology for HPV vaccine coverage surveys.

b)            Obtain household survey-derived, population-level HPV vaccination coverage estimates for countries to better understand HPV program performance, following guidance from WHO’s vaccination coverage cluster survey reference manual and HPV vaccine coverage monitoring manual.

c)            Assess equity in immunization by identifying sociodemographic characteristics of vaccinated and unvaccinated girls, and understand the behavioral and social drivers of HPV vaccination uptake among adolescent girls and their caregivers.

d)            Assess the validity of administrative coverage estimates by comparing to survey coverage.

e)            Develop evidence on the appropriateness of alternative, innovative data collection approaches for measuring HPV vaccine coverage and indicators, that may be less expensive and/or more rapid than a full coverage cluster survey.
