Abstract
This paper summarizes the approach and
findings of a case study of an immunization resource
tracking exercise undertaken in the Republic of Tajikistan
for 2005. The immunization resource tracking exercise in
Tajikistan was largely an exploratory exercise to examine
allocation and use of both donor and government resources
for the national immunization program and immunization
service delivery. Tajikistan was selected as the focus of
this work for several reasons: a) Tajikistan has received
significant external financing of immunization services from
the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI)
Alliance since 2001, and introduced new vaccines (Hepatitis
B) in 2002.; b) immunization program performance, measured
as the number of Diphtheria, Tetanus and Pertussis vaccine
(DTP3) doses provided, has not increased at commensurate
levels as immunization financing; and, c) the start of a
Health public expenditure tracking survey (PETS) was an
opportunity to link immunization tracking to health resource
tracking. The study had the benefit of seeing how results in
immunization resource flows fit within those of the health
sector. This case study represents one of the first
systematic assessments of immunization resource flows at
country level.
