Centre for Equitable Immunisation and Pandemic Preparedness NPCReg. 2026/439403/08

Africa-led evidence. Global impact.

Equitable today.
Prepared tomorrow.

We build the evidence systems that help Africa respond to immunisation challenges, pandemics and public-health emergencies with clarity and confidence.

Our north starHealth for all.

Locally generated evidence, translated into timely public-health action.

Why CEIPP exists

The highest burden should not come with the thinnest evidence base.

When outbreaks strike and immunisation systems falter, decisions are too often made without timely, local evidence. CEIPP exists to close that gap.
