As requested by the World Health Assembly in resolution WHA65.5, the
Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) is developing a comprehensive
Polio Eradication and Endgame Strategic Plan 2013-2018.
The GPEI has
conducted broad consultations with countries, partners, stakeholders,
donors, vaccine manufacturers, regulatory agencies and national and
international advisory bodies. In November 2012, the Strategic Advisory
Group of Experts on immunization (SAGE) endorsed the major objectives of
the Plan and its associated milestones.
After input from the WHO
Executive Board (EB) on 21-29 January 2013, the Plan is in the final
stages of consolidation and consultation with Member States.
