Documenting and Reporting Implementation Strategies of Vaccination Efforts (DRIVE) framework for fostering systems learning to enhance cross-context replication in immunization pro... by Abdu A. Adamu, Amos Petu, Balcha G. Masresha, Blaise Bathondoli, Rabiu Ibrahim Jalo, Duduzile Ndwandwe, Charles S. Wiysonge

“…The DRIVE framework has eight sections which include: name of implementation strategy, description of implementation problem, description of implementation context, definition of implementation strategy, mechanism of action of the implementation strategy, specification of the implementation strategy, facilitators, and barriers of successful implementation of the strategy, and additional information. For countries to make faster progress towards the Immunization Agenda 2030, it is essential that systems learning is prioritised in immunization programmes so that useful implementation strategies, both programme-based and research-based, are adequately documented, rapidly spread and sustainably integrated into practice settings across contexts to improve vaccination coverage and other performance indicators.…”
