The Africa Routine Immunization Essentials (ARISE) project aimed to identify and document promising interventions leading to improved and sustained routine immunization system performance in sub-Saharan Africa. This document provides an overview of one common driver of improvements in routine immunization, namely the partnership between health systems and communities, and provides country-specific examples of how this partnership.

In 2002, WHO and its partners developed the Reaching Every District (RED)approach to increasing and sustaining high levels of routine immunisation. Since then, most African countries have introduced the RED approach in some form and country implementations have been evaluated. The recommendations from those evaluations informed the development of this guide which is intended to be adapted and used by national immunization programs to introduce the RED approach.
