Humanitarian Immunization Technical Advisor
This position will support the Gavi-funded Zero Dose Immunisation Programme (ZIP). ZIP aims to establish full immunization programming where government health systems cannot operate safely or coordinate effectively. Around the world, millions of children remain functionally invisible to health systems, missing out on life saving vaccines. ZIP funds non-governmental implementing partners (NGOs) who pioneer new approaches to full immunization for children living in humanitarian and crisis settings or within populations at-risk. ZIP invests in learning how to reach and fully vaccinate children in communities who would otherwise not benefit from Gavi programming. ZIP has made two awards to multi-country consortia, led by World Vision in the Sahel and IRC in the Horn of Africa. CORE Group supports ZIP in the areas of learning, knowledge management, communications, and advocacy.
