description INTRODUCTION: The Benin Immunization and Logistic Directorate commissioned this study to provide evidence-based data to improve the performance of the Expanded Programme on Immunization. The objectives were to identify immunization stakeholders, describe their profile, their geographical distribution and determine their training needs. METHODS: In December 2020, we conducted a census of Benin's immunization stakeholders via their administrative files and telephone interviews. The data were collected in each departmental directorate and health zone by focal points using an Excel(®) grid. The authorizations of the ethics and personal data protection committees were obtained. RESULTS: We identified 3, 893 immunization workers, 39 years old on average, 66% of whom were women, 53% were health care assistants, 77% were vaccinators, and 56% were government contract workers. About 96% of them worked in peripheral centers. Approximately 56% were untrained and 14% had been untrained for more than 5 years. More than half of the actors were not trained for their function. The proportion of actors needing training was estimated at 70%. The training needs were at least 72% in the departmental hospitals, zone hospitals and health centers. 98% of actors reported a need for training, including immunization (74%), vaccine management (69%), cold chain (61%), monitoring (61%), and maintenance (47%). CONCLUSION: The predominance of nurses’ aides and women and the low proportion of trained personnel among immunization workers were also observed in other sub-Saharan African countries. Benin's Immunization and Logistics Directorate should mobilize sufficient resources to strengthen the technical capacities of the majority of immunization stakeholders.
