Notable achievements include revising USAID’s maternal and child health investment frameworks to align with the Sustainable Development Goals, evaluating USAID’s flagship maternal and child health program, and designing a $1 billion successor strategy.

She has also held leadership positions at Corus International and Abt Associates, managing global health and economic development portfolios across West Africa, francophone Central Africa, North Africa, and the Middle East. Dr. Bear has worked in more than 45 countries worldwide, including 11 years of residence in multiple countries throughout Africa and Asia.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“It has been a privilege to lead Jhpiego over the last 25 years, and I could not be more confident as I pass the baton to Dr. Allyson Bear,” said Dr. Leslie Mancuso, outgoing president and CEO of Jhpiego. “Her commitment to improving global health and her thoughtful, values-driven leadership give me great optimism for the future of the organization.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Dr. Bear will succeed Dr. Leslie Mancuso, who has led Jhpiego since 2001 and announced her planned retirement in 2024.

Working in Karatu and Mbarali districts, the project co-designed an integrated outreach with adolescents, parents, teachers, community leaders and local government.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>In a single visit, adolescents could receive the single-dose HPV vaccine, vision screening, nutrition checks and age-appropriate health education. Staffed by trained health professionals and community health workers, these visits were often held where families already gather – village meeting points or at their homes.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Over the course of six months, the programme had impressive reach: more than 3,500 adolescents received integrated services, and HPV vaccination coverage among girls reached 92.5% in programme areas (compared to 84.6% in other areas), with the largest gap among out-of-school girls. Of vaccinated girls, nearly 80% also received at least one additional health service.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“I liked all the services overall, personally… First is the vaccine for girls, second is the eye screening, and then nutrition… I like it because they guided us, it helps girls to be protected from various diseases.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp> – Parent, Tanzania\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Côte d’Ivoire: optimising a platform that was already there\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Côte d’Ivoire set out to tackle a different challenge. While a national school health platform, known as the Systematic Medical Visit, or by its French acronym VMS, already existed, the country struggled with execution. Coverage was uneven across districts, implementation varied widely, and girls outside the school system were largely left out.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cblockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n\u003Cp>“So we had to combine [HPV vaccination] with the VMS to raise the rate a bit. When we incorporated the checkup into the vaccination process, it actually increased the rate a little. We were able to identify eye abnormalities and all kinds of vision problems. We also prescribed medications; if there were gynaecological issues, we prescribed medications for those as well.”\u003C/p>\n\u003C/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>– Nurse, healthcare provider, Côte d’Ivoire\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Rather than replacing the platform, partners worked to optimise it. In Niakara and Abobo-Ouest health districts, the project diversified where visits happened, extending them beyond schools to health centres and community spaces. It strengthened coordination between the national immunisation programme, the adolescent health programme, and district health teams. It moved data collection from paper forms onto a digital system for increased quality of reporting. And it built community health worker capacity for door-to-door outreach.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The numbers from Côte d’Ivoire tell a striking story. Between June and November 2025, more than 15,000\u003Cstrong> \u003C/strong>adolescents passed through the integrated visit. Coverage in programme districts climbed from 9% to 49%, while coverage in comparison districts climbed from 8% to 33%. After adjusting for region, wealth and age, the increase among girls in programme districts was almost 17 times larger than the increase in comparison districts. Knowledge of HPV and cervical cancer among adolescent girls rose from 25% to 42% where the programme ran. \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The visit also caught over 2,500 cases of visual impairment, poor nutritional status, and anaemia that would have been missed otherwise. \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cblockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n\u003Cp>“Thanks to these examinations, we can reveal a hidden illness that may have been affecting you for a long time and that you may not be aware of.”\u003C/p>\n\u003C/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>– Out-of-school adolescent, Côte d’Ivoire\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nigeria: building opportunities for integration\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>In Nigeria, the HPV vaccine was only introduced in 2023, through large-scale campaigns targeting girls across multiple age groups, so there hasn’t been as much time or opportunity to test approaches beyond these initial efforts.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>In partnership with the International Vaccine Access Center at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, and Direct Consulting and Logistics, Jhpiego implemented two different models in Lagos and Kebbi states to explore what existing locations – that is, places of intersection with adolescents – could be used to provide HPV vaccination and other adolescent health services.

In Kebbi, monthly mobile sessions brought services directly into communities. In Lagos, specialised HIV clinics and youth-friendly health centres were also used as entry points to provide integrated care.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The results speak to how much demand there is when services meet girls where they are. In just five months, 84% of eligible girls (more than 14,000 out of 17,000) were vaccinated in Kebbi, and in Lagos 172% of eligible girls were vaccinated (7,700 eligible girls turned out, while the health system had expected just 4,500). More than 25,000 girls across both states received the full integrated package of commodities, including such goods as deworming medications, sanitary pads and/or soap.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>In Kebbi, over 15,000 girls in Kebbi received counselling on HPV, cervical cancer and vaccination.

What changed was how it was used: extended hours, more delivery sites, joint planning across ministries, and outreach that did not end at the school gate. For countries looking to scale HPV vaccination, the implication is that the answer to the platform question is rarely to “build new”. It is almost always “optimise what’s already there”.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Community health workers are non-negotiable.\u003C/strong> Across both Côte d’Ivoire and Tanzania, community health workers were the engine that reached parents and girls outside the formal system. As immunisation programmes grow to cover more adolescent services, formalising the role of these workers in HPV delivery is among the most actionable policy decisions countries can take.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Integration is what makes the visit worth the trip.\u003C/strong> A vaccine on its own often does not generate enough perceived value for a remote family to travel for it. A vaccine paired with vision screening, nutrition checks and adolescent health information becomes a full health encounter, and parents and girls respond accordingly.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Financing is the hardest piece ahead.\u003C/strong> Sustaining integration will require joint funding across various ministries. Financing models that catalyse multisectoral commitment will determine whether the integrated model scales beyond the project period.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>We know the HPV vaccine works, but the existence of a good vaccine was never going to be enough. Girls that are out of school, part of pastoralist communities and live in remote villages are the people who will determine whether cervical cancer elimination is achieved in this generation or the next. The evidence from these three countries is starting to show what it takes to reach them.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>This article was originally published on the Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance website on June 23, 2026. \u003Ca href=\"https://www.gavi.org/vaccineswork/how-give-more-vaccine\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https://www.gavi.org/vaccineswork/how-give-more-vaccine\">Read the original article here.\u003C/a>\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cem>Anissa Sidibe is theTechnical Director for Immunisation, Jhpiego.
