Throughout its history, Rotary International has collaborated with many civic and humanitarian organizations as well as the government agencies of various nations in its efforts to improve the human condition. An excellent example of what these partnerships can accomplish can be found in Rotary's ambitious PolioPlus program. Launched in 1985, in concert with the World Health Organization, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and UNICEF, the RI program's goal is to immunize every child in the world against polio, striving for a polio—free world by year end 2000, with certification in 2005. RI has set forth millions of volunteers to assist in vaccine delivery, social mobilization and logistical help at the local, national, regional and international levels.
