KHPT was invited to a dissemination and learning workshop in New Delhi to celebrate the achievements of MOMENTUM Routine Immunization Transformation and Equity (M-RITE) Project to increase COVID-19 vaccination rates among vulnerable and marginalized groups. The workshop, organized by USAID-MOMENTUM on August 21, focused on innovative interventions which adopted a localization strategy to provide COVID-19 vaccinations, as well as routine immunisations,  to hard-to-reach communities.

KHPT also set up a stall to showcase project achievements to donors, government officials and other implementation partners, through the exhibition of  IEC materials, manuals, case story compilations, videos and other best practice documents.

KHPT had implemented the project between January 2021 – June 2023 in collaboration with the Health Department and the Department of Rural Development and Panchayat Raj, Government of Karnataka in 14 districts through campaigns, door-to-door visits, interventions in Gram Panchayats, engagement with community leaders, partnerships with community organizations, and mobile van services. The interventions were designed for populations with limited access to health services, including school children and dropouts, elderly people, tribal groups, female sex workers, transgenders, MGNREGA workers, people with disabilities, migrants, and pregnant and lactating mother.
