Objective: To provide technical assistance to the governments of Nepal, Djibouti, and Guinea Bissau to plan, implement, and strengthen HPV vaccination programs and cervical cancer prevention efforts. This includes supporting the development of national HPV program strategies, strengthening service delivery systems, facilitating training for healthcare providers, enhancing community awareness and demand generation, and integrating HPV vaccination into broader reproductive health and cancer prevention initiatives.

Expected Outcome: Enhanced national capacity in Nepal, Djibouti, and Guinea Bissau to deliver sustainable and high-coverage HPV vaccination programs. Improved coordination between immunization programs and cervical cancer prevention initiatives, resulting in strengthened prevention, early detection, and awareness of cervical cancer. The project will contribute to increasing HPV vaccine coverage, especially among adolescent girls, and aligning national programs with global cervical cancer elimination goals.
