Child immunization coverage in rural Ethiopian communities remains suboptimal, highlighting a critical need for effective strategies to enhance vaccination uptake. A mixed-methods approach was employed, including surveys, focus group discussions, and case studies in ten randomly selected villages across three regions of Ethiopia. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis. A significant improvement (p < 0. 05) in immunization coverage rates from baseline to post-intervention was observed in all intervention areas, with a mean increase of 18% in the number of children fully vaccinated. Community-driven interventions significantly improved child immunization coverage in rural Ethiopian communities, demonstrating their effectiveness and potential as scalable public health strategies. Further replication of these interventions should include enhanced community engagement, tailored educational materials, and sustained monitoring to sustain gains over time. Treatment effect was estimated with logit (pᵢ) =₀+^ Xᵢ, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.
