The mandate to conduct a mid-term evaluation of the implementation of the Strategic Action Plan on Polio Transition (2018–2023) derives from the polio transition roadmap that was prepared to support implementation of the Strategic Action Plan. The objective of this formative evaluation was to assess the status of implementation of the Strategic Action Plan and to propose any modifications needed to adapt to the changing context. The evaluation focused on progress across the 20 polio transition priority countries and further investigated progress at the regional and global levels. It: (a) documented key achievements, best practices, challenges, gaps, and areas for improvement in the design and implementation of the Strategic Action Plan; (b) identified the key contextual factors and changes in the global public health realm that have affected the development and implementation of the Strategic Action Plan and the roadmap developed in 2018; and (c) made recommendations as appropriate on the way forward to enable the successful implementation of the plan. The Executive Summary of this evaluation report will be presented to the Seventy-fifth World Health Assembly in May 2022.
