Partners and Donors | Polio in Pakistan | End Polio Pakistan

The Partners and Donors page of End Polio Pakistan acknowledges the broad coalition of international organizations, governments, foundations, and private sector partners that make Pakistan's polio eradication programme possible. The scale and complexity of the programme require resources and expertise far beyond what any single entity can provide.

The core partners of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative in Pakistan include the World Health Organization (WHO), UNICEF, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Rotary International, and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. These organizations provide technical assistance, vaccines, funding, logistics support, and advocacy at national and international levels.

Bilateral donors including the governments of the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, Canada, and Gulf countries contribute significant financial resources to the programme through trust funds and direct support. Their investments fund vaccines, operations, surveillance infrastructure, and human resources.

Private sector partners such as telecommunications companies have contributed by sending vaccination reminders via SMS and supporting communication campaigns. Corporate entities have also participated in public awareness initiatives.

Religious institutions, civil society organizations, and community leaders serve as essential non-financial partners, helping build the social license necessary for vaccination teams to operate effectively in resistant communities.

This page reflects the programme's understanding that ending polio is a shared global responsibility and that Pakistan's success depends on sustained, coordinated support from a wide range of stakeholders both at home and abroad.
