We raise awareness about the benefits of childhood vaccinations.
We provide cash incentives at government clinics after children receive vaccinations.
We help improve the vaccine supply chain to ensure enough vaccines are available at clinics.
Together, these efforts are proven to double vaccination rates and save lives.

New Incentives works where we can have the greatest impact—northern Nigeria. Globally, one in six children who received no vaccines in 2022 were from Nigeria, and the country has one of the highest child mortality rates in the world.
A variety of obstacles can prevent children from getting vaccinated, including poverty, insecurity, misinformation, remote terrain, and cultural and gender norms.
New Incentives is able to run a cost-effective program in this setting due to strong partnerships and because vaccines are available free of charge at government health clinics.
We closely collaborate with the state governments of Bauchi, Gombe, Jigawa, Kaduna, Kano, Katsina, Kebbi, Niger, Sokoto, Yobe and Zamfara in northern Nigeria.
As we've scaled our program, the cost per infant has decreased, and the cost-effectiveness of our program has increased.
To calculate our cost per infant, we divide our total expenses (not just direct program costs) by the number of infants served.
Total Expenses / Total # of Infants Served = Cost Per Infant
