    Education Above All, Gavi reach underserved communities with education and immunization

    Education Above All Foundation has partnered with Gavi to take education and immunization programs to vulnerable children in Africa and Asia. Devex spoke with Mary Pigozzi, executive director of Educate a Child, to gain more insight on how the cross-sectoral partnership would be sustained.

    Sometimes the development world creates an opportunity for seemingly strange bedfellows. Such cross-sectoral collaborations between different organizations can then emerge at the forefront of attempts to solve some of the world’s most pressing challenges.

    Two groups that have come together to set the pace in this type of partnership are the Education Above All Foundation, a not-for-profit organization that works to increase educational opportunities for underserved communities and fragile states, and Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, an international organization improving access to new and underused vaccines for children living in the world’s poorest countries.

    Their partnership is taking an aim at the Sustainable Development Goals.
