Beyond the eradication of polio

Ensuring a Lasting Legacy for GPEI Knowledge and Resources in a Polio-Free World.

During more than 25 years of operations, the Global Polio Eradication Initiative has mobilized and trained millions of volunteers, social mobilizers, and health workers; accessed households untouched by other health initiatives; mapped and brought health interventions to chronically neglected communities; and established a standardized, real-time global surveillance and response capacity.

As the initiative nears completion, the primary goals of transition planning for the GPEI are both to protect a polio-free world and to ensure that these investments, made to eradicate polio, contribute to future health goals after the completion of polio eradication.
