Job Description

Background of the project


The IRC is leading the REACH project, funded by GAVI, the Vaccine Alliance, that aims to close the immunization gap in missed communities in Ethiopia, Somalia, South Sudan and Sudan. Powered by a network of global and local partners, the REACH Consortium works to extend services to children beyond the reach of government systems and ensures that no child, wherever they live, is left behind.


The project is currently documenting key learnings from the project. This consultancy will lead the documentation of learnings on two topics: risk factors that put the National Immunisation Program (NIP) access and ability to programme at risk, and the documentation of key EPI approaches that have been adapted or adjusted based on implementation within a humanitarian context. The consultant will engage with IRC staff from the Health Technical Unit, the REACH Project Management Unit (PMU), country offices that are implementing the project, GAVI and other stakeholders.


The consultant will conduct key informant interviews with 20-40 people, synthesize the learnings, and present them to leaders and implementers of the project at a meeting in Nairobi in February 2025. Following the Nairobi meeting in February, the consultant will continue to engage with the project, as a reviewer of tools created, and leading the documentation of evidence-based case studies on vaccine service delivery within humanitarian contexts.
