Abstract: A multi-partner EPI Review in India was conducted to help influence the practices of routine immunization and articulate CARE’s potential role in establishing linkage between MOH, ICDS, and communities in Bihar state in between August 25 and September 19, 2004 . Several recommendations are made at the end of the report. Some overall conclusions for state Level: Reluctance and delay in using the detailed district-specific micro-planning exercise to advocate for more resources; the burden of accounting for GOI funds is perceived at lower levels as a disincentive to request/receive funds; opportunities to upgrade ANMs and block officers are not taken advantage of; the process of release of funds needs simplification.
