In 2002, UNICEF, WHO and other partners of the Global Alliance for Vaccine and Immunization (GAVI) introduced Achieving Every District (ACD) to improve the immunization system in low-coverage areas. The ACD approach encourages countries to use their immunization coverage data to analyze the situation of non-vaccinated infants in order to prioritize districts that have poor access and use of vaccination services to make microplans at district level in order to provide remedial responses to locally identified problems.
