Essentials - Transition
Sustaining and Sharing Accumulated Knowledge, Capacity, and Infrastructure
As the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) moves closer to its goal, those involved are working to document the accumulated knowledge, lessons, capacities, and infrastructure to ensure that as much as possible is retained or repurposed to address other health goals and priorities. This transition planning is meant both to protect a polio-free world and to ensure that investments in polio eradication will contribute to other health goals. This section offers core resources for those engaged in transition efforts, with a focus on the central role of communication.
