OVERVIEW:
Across the Region, countries continue efforts to close immunity gaps and stop variant poliovirus outbreaks amid complex and often fragile contexts.
Following the recent budget cuts across the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI), efforts are ongoing to prioritize highest-risk geographies for outbreak response, focusing on the quality of campaigns and adjusting plans to the current funding landscape, while advancing implementation of the 2026 GPEI Global Action Plan in true letter and spirit.
Regional coordination between countries in the WHO Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR) and Africa (AFRO) has strengthened in 2025.
The Horn of Africa and Lake Chad Basin coordination meetings resumed in the last quarter of the year, helping countries align surveillance and vaccination efforts across borders.
