Abstract
This article, published on July 24, 2023, discusses how Mastercard Foundation and its partners supported the Democratic Republic of Congo's (DRC) Ministry of Health's April 2023 Rapid Results Initiative (RRI) COVID-19 vaccination campaign. The initiative, part of the Saving Lives and Livelihoods program, aimed to accelerate efforts in Kinshasa and Lualaba. It successfully vaccinated 304,801 people. Intensive community engagement, including the youth-focused Bingwa Initiative (infotainment/roadshows), helped build vaccine trust.
