UNICEF works in some of the world’s toughest places, to reach the world’s most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential.

Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone.

And we never give up.

**For every child, **_Protection_**

**Background**
COVID-19 has strongly impacted the ECA region, and Omicron is quickly spreading in all countries in the region. While 46,2% of the population in ECA region is fully vaccinated, there are significant differences between countries, and some countries are lagging with vaccine uptake below 30%.

Different factors are playing a role, to a different extent in each country, in preventing higher coverage: vaccine hesitancy and resistance in the population, including among health professionals and in priority groups; weak capacity of health systems to reach priority groups with ad hoc strategies; lack of coordination among partners to provide effective support (both on improving access and in promoting vaccination).

ECA Regional Office provides continued support to countries to accelerate vaccination uptake, recently better informed by a series of deep dives with each country, to identify the specific issues and provide support to improve COVID vaccination, especially among groups at higher risk of complications and death (to prevent mortality), among health professionals (who are at higher risk of infection and need to lead by example) and among teachers (to keep schools operational). In addition, the Regional Office has initiated regular calls with WHO counterparts, to harmonize support to countries, which require then timely follow ups. Tools to inform communication and behavioral change efforts have been developed and circulated to Country Offices, some of which need support to adapt and implement them. Additional fund-raising efforts are needed to sustain activities in countries to accelerate COVID-19 vaccination uptake.

At the same time, routine immunization has been dramatically affected by the pandemic. Over 90% of countries in the region registered a decrease in coverage within the range of 5-27%. This resulted in polio outbreaks in Tajikistan and Ukraine, while thousands of children are at risk from measles outbreaks. Countries need additional support to restore routine vaccination and improve immunization coverage.

UNICEF ECARO is seeking assistance in the form of a full-time consultancy for 11.5 months, to provide technical assistance and guidance to countries to roll out the COVID-19 vaccine and restore routine immunization in coordination with other relevant sections in the ECA Regional Office. To ensure that information and documentation flows properly between the country, regional and global level, the individual contractor will participate in all key global and regional meetings and provide close support to the Regional Office team and countries, in addition to preparing different documents (e.g. developing presentations, briefing documents, analysis of immunization coverage, etc.) and reporting activities.

**Purpose of the assignment**

The objective of the individual contractor's support is to assist the health team in its day-to-day activities for the management and coordination of the COVID-19 vaccine roll out and to restore routine immunization in the region.

The incumbent will report to the Regional Immunization Specialist and routinely liaise with the Regional Health Adviser, as well as the C4D teams at RO and in Country Offices.

**Scope of work and specific tasks**

Under the supervision of the Regional Immunization Specialist, the individual contractor is expected to undertake the following tasks:

- Monitor the implementation status of COVID-19 vaccine roll-out in the region and provide regular updates on progress and challenges being faced as required at regional level and HQ.
- Support UNICEF COs in regularly assessing COVID-19 vaccination implementation strategies, identifying possible gaps and providing recommendations/technical support for corrective actions.
- Participate in meetings at regional and global level and with country offices pertaining to: country preparedness, the delivery of COVID-19 vaccines, and demand generation and community engagement.
- Support countries to forecast the resources needed and develop tailored strategies for reaching priority populations and underserved communities during roll-out of Covid-19 vaccines.
- Ensure that relevant documents from HQ, regional and country level are properly managed and shared.
- Develop documents, briefings, analyses, presentations, etc. on COVID-19 rollout in the region.
- Identify and document enabling factors, good practices, challenges/bottlenecks, and lessons learnt from the vaccine im
