NutriVax Project

NutriVax-Measles is an innovative project funded by the Eleanor Crook Foundation and Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, in Yobe State, Nigeria. The aim of the project is to conduct a cluster randomized control trial (with an embedded cohort) to test whether small quantity lipid-based nutrition supplements (SQ-LNS), which is designed to prevent malnutrition, will incentivize measles vaccination and increase immunization coverage while providing nutritional benefits.

The project is developed and implemented by the CORAL platform (Clinical and Operational Research Alliance). The CORAL platform was created in 2016 by ALIMA, INSERM (French National Institute for Health Research) and PAC-CI (a research center in Cote D’Ivoire) following their collaboration in the response to the Ebola Virus Disease epidemic in Guinea.

The aim of this platform is to combine research and humanitarian action in order to improve the quality of care delivered to populations in crisis and reduce mortality. The CORAL platform carries out research projects on both emerging infectious diseases and mother and child health. The Mother and Child Health Unit focuses on prevention and care of acute malnutrition as well as pediatric and maternal health.
