Launched in 2001, the Measles Initiative is a partnership — led by the American Red Cross, United Nations Foundation, US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, UNICEF and World Health Organization — committed to reducing measles deaths worldwide. The Measles Initiative founding partners provide technical and financial support to governments and communities conducting mass vaccination campaigns, improving routine immunization services, and establishing effective disease surveillance. To date, the partnership has invested US 0 million in measles control activities, helping to save an estimated 4.3 million lives. Initially targeting Sub-Saharan Africa, the Measles Initiative has helped reduce deaths by 92 percent across the region. Building on its success, the Measles Initiative now supports vaccination campaigns worldwide. More than 700 million children in more than 60 countries have received a measles vaccination as a result of the Initiative. Globally, deaths have decreased by 78 percent.
