Global Immunization Strategic Framework 2006-2010

The purpose of this strategic plan is to articulate the goals, objectives, and strategies of CDC and its global partners for effectively meeting the global immunization challenges from 2006-2010. Achievement of these goals will require that CDC work closely and effectively with global partners. This document is intended to build on and complement CDC’s previous five-year plan, Global Immunization 2002-2006: An Over-Arching Strategy for CDC.

GID Global Partners

The scope and intensity of global health challenges ensures that no single country or agency can work alone to meet them. To contribute to shared global health objectives, CDC works in close partnership with a wide array of international agencies and institutions to shape global health policies and to fund, implement, and evaluate programs. CDC partners with international and multinational organizations, other federal agencies within the U.S. Government, private foundations, universities, and global health organizations.
