Evaluation of the Cold Chain Equipment Optimization Platform (CCEOP): Midline Findings Brief

The Gavi Cold Chain Equipment Optimization Platform (CCEOP) was established in 2016, recognizing that functional cold chain equipment (CCE) is a critical precondition to strengthening vaccine supply chains and ultimately to achieving the Alliance’s immunization equity and coverage goals, yet was a gap for many countries. Through the platform, Gavi jointly invests with countries to purchase and install equipment that meets specific technology requirements through Service Bundle Providers (SBPs).

JSI Research & Training Institute, Inc. led 2018-2020 CCEOP prospective evaluation in Kenya, Pakistan, and Guinea aims to assess progress of the CCEOP against its original objectives while also understanding details of the processes followed in the deployment process. This brief presents findings from the midline country evaluation from November–December 2018, emphasizing the CCEOP planning and deployment process and understanding the situation post-deployment in Kenya, Pakistan, and Guinea, while also documenting any subsequent changes in CCE performance and management.
