HPV Living Evidence Partnership
Taking the next steps to eliminate cervical cancer
We’re working with governments across Africa to improve coverage of the life-saving HPV vaccine for young women and girls in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).
Challenge
Bringing a life-saving vaccine to those who need it most
Cervical cancer is a leading cause of cancer death for women in LMICs. Despite the availability of a safe, effective, single-dose HPV vaccine, coverage in these areas remains critically low due to delivery challenges.
Those working to improve HPV vaccine roll-out are asking the same questions in different contexts, like:
Delivery strategies
What delivery strategies work best in schools and/or rural areas?
Trust Building
How do we build trust, demand, and uptake in underserved communities?
Best practices
What are best practices related to timing, messaging, and coordination?
The HPV Living Evidence Partnership is identifying evidence-based approaches that address these challenges and drive high, sustainable, equitable coverage of HPV vaccination.

Previous Versions
Living systematic reviews
Living systematic reviews answering priority questions facing HPV vaccine delivery decision-makers in Low- and Middle-Income Countries.
In development
- LSR 3: Financial and economic cost of HPV vaccine delivery
- LSR 4: Cost effectiveness of HPV vaccine delivery strategies
- LSR 5: Leveraging traditional and religious leaders in design and demand generation
- LSR 6: Integrating health services alongside HPV vaccination
- LSR 7: Embedding HPV vaccination into adolescent health checks or life-course milestones
- LSR 8: Integrating HPV vaccination into routine EPI delivery
Decision Support Tools
Coming Soon - Evidence summaries, briefing notes, and guides tailored to specific, country-level needs
Leadership
Country leaders are at the heart of our partnerships
We’re guided by two governance bodies:
Steering group
Country decision-makers, implementers, and technical leads who define our priorities and shape how we package and share evidence.
Advisory Group
Global technical and delivery experts who ensure our work is aligned, high-quality, and relevant.
