  • Vaccine Delivery Advisor, Kenya

    Vaccine Delivery Advisor, Kenya

    Job Description
    To date, Covid-19 has cost more than 4 million lives. High income countries are showing the incredible power that vaccinations have to save lives and allow economies to recover.
    But while countries such as the UK, Italy and the US have fully vaccinated around two thirds of adults, less than one per cent of people on the African continent have received one vaccine. 
    This is everyone’s concern. Until the whole world has been vaccinated no one is truly safe—we have seen repeatedly that Covid-19 does not respect borders. 
    Africa is losing the race to vaccinate: when vaccinations become available, logistical challenges, insufficient resources and vaccine hesitancy pose risks to their deployment in time or to populations that need it the most.
    Turning this situation around is a priority for the Tony Blair Institute. We are supporting a number of African governments to:

    improve national and local government coordination
    find, triage and ensure delivery of donor support
    operate a complete, secure and widely shared vaccine data collection and analysis system
    develop and implement a strategic communications plan to overcome fears and misinformation about the vaccines
    help coordinate and deliver supplies of vaccines to where they are most needed.

    This work could not be more important or urgent. Case numbers are rising rapidly on the African continent due to the highly transmissible Delta variant, but vaccine supply will begin to rise rapidly towards the end of the year.
    We are seeking talented and dedicated individuals to join our new Africa Vaccine Programme (AVP) who want to play a direct role in ensuring as many lives as possible are protected from Covid-19.
    The Programme will operate in over five of our existing countries from September 2021 onwards, and our team will be made up of senior Vaccine Delivery Advisors and those with targeted public health expertise. We will also be working closely with the Africa Centre for Disease Control (Africa CDC) in the delivery of the Programme.
    Our Vaccine Delivery Advisors will provide flexible and responsive support to government’s changing needs. This will include delivery advice using TBI’s delivery toolkit and framework and may span donor and, government coordination, data analysis, management and presentation, resource mobilisation, strategic communications, stakeholder management, problem solving and spotting opportunities to keep up the momentum to get jabs in arms.
    Postholders must be able to quickly build trusted relationships with their government counterparts and the wider vaccination community and must possess a solid understand what government needs to implement a successful vaccination campaign. 
    The Vaccine Delivery Advisor, Kenya will report to the Country Head Kenya with a “dotted reporting line” to the AVP Programme Manager. The Advisors will work closely with other staff recruited under this programme and in other programmes.
    This is an initial 12 month fixed term role.
    Key Responsibilities
    Delivery and capacity building 

    Build strong and trusted relationships with government counterparts and support them to develop and implement their vaccination strategy
    Be proactive, responsive, and flexible to requests for help especially identifying bottlenecks to delivery and providing government with options to overcome them
    Maintain excellent working relationships with the host agency, other parts of the government and the stakeholders critical to the successful roll-out of the vaccine rollout strategy
    Provide capacity building support through coaching, on-the-job mentoring, identifying specific skills gaps and helping government to fill them
    Support the host agency to understand and strengthen its culture of delivery
    Support the development of assessment frameworks such as evaluation and results indicators and Key Performance Indicators /KPIs to track the progress of the vaccination campaign

    Contribution to TBI 

    Quickly become a valued and supportive team member of the Ghana country team
    Contribute to wider TBI initiatives and other activities as required by the Country Head or AVP Programme Manager.

    Person Specification
    This is a role in a fast-paced team, working within complex policy areas that are highly scrutinised. We are looking for enthusiastic and resilient individuals with a “can-do” outlook and the ability to consistently achieve results in a fast-paced environment.
    Successful candidates will demonstrate the following: 
     

    At least 5 years’ experience in either government, government advisory, management consulting or similar organisational leadership roles (preferably in Africa)
    Strong management skills and experience delivering international development programmes
    Savvy relationship management, going the extra mile, collaboration and organisational development
    A strategic mindset and experience in adaptive management, for example Problem Driven Iterative Adaptation
    An ability to deliver results in complex and challenging environments
    An ability to operate and succeed in political environments
