"Many countries are now reporting data which indicate high access to immunization services (good BCG, DPT1, and 0PV1 rates) but lower complete coverage, due to dropouts.

barriers (such as lack of correct information, fear of side effects, or competing belief systems). In other countries immunization program mangers are discovering that it is more difficult to achieve and maintain the final ten percent or 20 percent of coverage than it was to achieve the initial 60 percent or even 80 percent.

nner, the problems and issues associated with government sponsored textbook provision programmes in developing countries, placing special emphasis on cost reduction factors in such textbook programmes. The main aim of the Guide is “to take account of present problems of government textbook schemes, and their needs for better resources and more trained personnel, and to assist them by posing questions which may lead to a greater understanding of problems, and more adequate planning and improved administration of projects, with consequent reduced costs and the production of better textbooks."
