  • Communication for Development Specialist (Polio RRT), P-3, ESARO, Nairobi, Kenya Logistics Specialist (Vaccine Management & Polio RRT), P-3, FT, ESARO, Nairobi, Kenya

    Communication for Development Specialist (Polio RRT), P-3, ESARO, Nairobi, Kenya Logistics Specialist (Vaccine Management & Polio RRT), P-3, FT, ESARO, Nairobi, Kenya

    The Communication for Development (C4D) section of the UNICEF Eastern and Southern Africa Regional Office (ESARO) provides oversight, quality assurance, technical assistance and knowledge management to country offices in the field of communication for social and behavior change for child survival, development, education and protection. The region is extremely complex, diverse and bears a disproportionate share of the global burden of key child rights deprivations.
    The region is currently in the Endgame phase of polio eradication, but outbreaks continue to occur. The ongoing polio response in Angola, Zambia and Ethiopia are opportunities to reinforce targeted interventions for polio vaccination as well as to reinforce the vaccination systems, as the presence of Circulating Vaccine Derived Polio Virus (cVDPVs) clearly indicates the poor immunity level of populations in the respective communities. At the same time, the cross-border population movements within the sub-region, due to social-cultural reasons, as well as displacement due to humanitarian crises, are factors that can contribute to the spread of Vaccine Derived Polio Virus (VDPV) and Wild Polio Virus (WPV) within the countries of the sub-region.
    C4D plays a vital role in the polio prevention and response interventions, supporting the Ministry of Health (MoH) teams to plan and implement communication activities to inform and convince communities and its leaders about the reasons and rationale of Oral Polio Vaccine (OPV) campaigns; supporting interventions that encourage community based surveillance of Acute Flask Paralysis; and supporting the improvement of immunization programmes, both through campaigns and through routine immunization, by fostering understanding of childhood diseases, creating demand for services and acceptance of the vaccines.
    How can you make a difference?
    Under the general guidance of the ESARO Polio Coordinator and in close collaboration with the Immunization teams of ESARO, Western and Central Africa Regional Office (WCARO) and the AFRO/UNICEF Rapid Response Team Coordinator in Brazzaville, the incumbent will be working as a member of the RRT, and will be deployed to polio outbreak response countries.
