What We Do

PIVI’s mission is to equip countries to detect, prevent and respond to public health threats by creating strong and sustainable disease surveillance and immunization systems.

Building Stronger Systems to Detect, Prevent, and Respond

PIVI works alongside countries to strengthen the systems needed to detect public health threats, prevent disease through immunization, and respond effectively when outbreaks occur.

Through technical expertise, country partnerships, and systems-strengthening support, we help build sustainable public health capacity that protects communities today while preparing for future health challenges.

01. Detect

Strengthening Early Threat Detection

Early detection is essential to effective public health response. PIVI has helped countries strengthen disease surveillance systems that identify emerging threats, generate actionable data, and support informed decision-making.

Our work has helped countries:

By helping countries detect threats earlier, public health leaders can respond more quickly, allocate resources more effectively, and reduce the impact of outbreaks.

02. Prevent

Building Stronger Immunization Systems

Vaccines are among the most effective tools for protecting public health. PIVI works with countries to strengthen immunization programs that reduce disease burden and improve preparedness for future epidemics and pandemics.

Our work helps countries:

While PIVI’s work began with influenza vaccination programs, it has expanded to support a broader range of priority vaccines, including RSV, epidemic vaccines such as measles and cholera, and other vaccines that strengthen public health preparedness.

Strong immunization systems protect communities today while creating the foundation for future outbreak response.

03. Respond

Supporting Effective Outbreak Response

When public health threats emerge, countries need strong systems and trusted partners to respond effectively.

PIVI helps countries improve preparedness and response capacity through strengthening integrated surveillance systems for epidemics and vaccination programs that are integral components of the response.

Our work helps countries:

By investing in preparedness before emergencies occur, countries are better equipped to respond when they do.

Keeping Our Edge

Vaccination in Action

This video reflects an earlier chapter of PIVI’s work. While our scope has since expanded, our focus on strong partnerships and sustainable, country-led vaccination programs remains the same

How We Work

Everything PIVI Does Is Grounded In Partnership.

We work alongside Ministries of Health, global health organizations, researchers, and technical experts to provide:

The work that PIVI does contributes to the evidence base used by National Immunization Technical Advisory Groups (NITAGs).

Rather than creating parallel systems, PIVI strengthens existing country systems with the goal of sustainable national ownership and long-term impact.

The PIVI Difference

PIVI's Approach Is Built on Three Core Principles

Country-Led

We partner closely with countries to support their national priorities  and support long-term country ownership. See where we work.

Integrated

We strengthen surveillance, immunization, and preparedness systems to reduce fragmentation and improve impact.

Sustainable

We partner to strengthen systems that continue delivering value long after individual projects or funding cycles end.
