  • Junior Contractor for Data management and Monitoring (yoma)

    Junior Contractor for Data management and Monitoring (yoma)

    For every child, Hope
    ESARO has entered a partnership with Botnar aiming at the creation of a new platform that supports digital innovation across Africa. A relational ecosystem emerged as a result of an one year design process, where different ecosystem partners agree to the key principle of Agency or Players First. At the core of the system is the young person with his/her identity and his/her control over his/her data and growth journey (Autonomy). The ecosystem facilitates interaction with other youth, communities, service providers, employers,… based on shared values (Relatedness). Young people are offered the opportunity to participate in tailored skills acquisition that involves growth in action through impact tasks (Competence). The ecosystem is basically a market place that mediates along three lines: (a) between the demand for impact and youth that can achieve the impact, (b) between the personal aspirations and psychometric profile of young people and on/offline learning/skills acquisition opportunities and finally (c) between a more rich CV of the youth and employers/entrepreneurship opportunities. Given its focus on the agency of young people the ecosystem is called the youth agency market place or yoma.africa. Yoma builds upon exponential technologies such as blockchain and seamless ledgers, Self Sovereign Identity, privacy preserving and open AI/Machine learning and psychometric matching.
    The first large scale minimum viable product (MVP) of yoma was initiated in mid-May 2020 through a challenge around COVID-19: More than 90,000 young people in Africa registered for the challenge, exceeding expectations and showing the potential for scale. Since then, yoma – together with its partners – has launched several challenges that reached over 300,000 youth across Africa. Rich data has been collected and consolidated in a first version of a dashboard. In future, the important metrics will need to be defined further to be able to prove the concept to potential partners and allow for internal and external transparency and success monitoring. For certain key performance indicator the dataset will need to be complemented by the insights from the challenges and, hence, will have to allow for the integration of data from yoma partners and the google analytics data.

  • Contractor, Coordinated support for Routine Immunization and Polio

    Contractor, Coordinated support for Routine Immunization and Polio

    Job Description
    Provide: Technical Assistance to the National Immunization Program to Effectively Implement Routine Immunization and Polio Eradication Strategies
    Background
    Immunization remains the most cost-effective high impact intervention against vaccine preventable diseases like measles and polio and has saved millions of lives globally. While Africa has been certified polio free, the threat of polio is still present due to continued reporting of wild polio virus cases in the 2 endemic countries of Pakistan and Afghanistan and continued isolation of the circulating vaccine derived polio virus type 2 in the Horn of Africa countries of Kenya, Uganda, Somalia and Ethiopia. Kenya remains at high risk of polio and measles due to low population immunity across several counties and population movements and the presence of refugees from neighboring South Sudan and Somalia.
    Following the isolation of cVDPV2 from the environment in Kenya from a 11-month-old female child in November 2020 and environmental samples in December 2020, two rounds of vaccination campaigns have been conducted in 13 high risk counties with suboptimal coverage in several sub-counties being reported. The HoA countries currently plans to conduct synchronized vaccination campaign in 2022 using the novel Oral polio vaccine type 2 (nOPV2) in 2022 with countries currently ramping up efforts to increase population immunity through routine immunization including Periodic Intensified Routine Immunization (PIRI) Strategy that will ensure all routine antigens, including MR, HPV and IPV, are administered to eligible children.
    Justification
    The Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI), Gavi and other donors seeks to ensure that future generations of children will be free from the threat of polio paralysis and highly infectious diseases like measles. Achieving the polio eradication goal depends on interrupting poliovirus transmission in the remaining endemic countries, ensuring rapid and effective responses to poliovirus outbreaks occurring in polio-free countries like Kenya and ensuring high vaccination coverage against polio virus. Immunization is a priority high impact intervention for UNICEF support globally and in Kenya. Based on this, UNICEF aims to support Kenya to increase population immunity against all types of polio through routine bOPV and IPV vaccination and potential deployment of nOPV2 in 2022 through nationwide vaccination campaign.
    With the event of the Covid-19 pandemic the ability to continue to offer routine health services including immunization has come under severe strain leading to decline in immunization coverage across various antigens including for vaccines aimed at ensuring Kenya remains polio free. Kenya plans to undertake 4 Months of Intensified Routine Immunization Activities (PIRI) in all the 47 counties to address coverage gaps occasioned by the negative impact of covid-19 vaccine on health services including immunization and low population immunity against Polio and Measles due to the accumulation of unprotected children since 2017. Considering the complexity of the context, the risk of further outbreaks and the number of actors from UNICEF in both areas of focus and many competing priorities at the UNICEF KCO and National Immunization program, it has become necessary to have o board an experienced consultant to support UNICEF’s contribution to the National Immunization program and Polio eradication in Kenya including supporting the government to effectively implement the planned PIRI and other routine Immunization activities.
