To stop polio we need to:

☛ Engage entire societies in the effort to reach every last child

☛ Make special plans to reach children from mobile and migrant populations, in conflict zones, or in remote regions

☛ Strengthen routine immunization, which is the best national defence against polio

☛ Improve surveillance in high-risk areas

☛ Encourage governments to reach out to the poorest people with other public services

☛ Continue to receive the highest level of political commitment from national governments and multiilateral institutions

☛ Fill the funding gap - $590 million is still required to fund activities in 2011 and 2012.
