Abstract : Global Polio Eradication Program (GPEI), a partnership between the World Health Organization, United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund, Centre for Disease Control and Rotary International – was launched to eradicate polio worldwide and simultaneously strengthen the health infrastructure. GPEI was announced by WHO in 1988, while India accepted the GPEI only in 1995. Despite numerous implementation challenges, it took us almost 30 years to become a polio-free nation. Many factors contributed to the successful elimination of polio from India. This paper presents a case that revolves around the story of a Strong Global partnership, local partnership for managing the human resources on immunization days and community engagement that optimises the program functioning and reaches the last mile leading to eradication of polio from the country.
