Head, Mics Country Engagement

vor 2 Wochen

Geneve, Schweiz Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance Secretariat Vollzeit

**THE ROLE**

The Country Support units, situated in the Country Programmes Delivery department, works to achieve effective implementation of Gavi’s portfolio of support aimed at increasing immunisation coverage and equity, as well as financial sustainability in Gavi-eligible countries. This work is conducted in close collaboration with Gavi Alliance partners, country stakeholders, other development partners and the rest of the Gavi Secretariat.
Gavi’s Middle Income Countries (MICs) approach seeks to prevent and mitigate backsliding in vaccine coverage in former Gavi-eligible countries, and to drive the sustainable introductions of key missing vaccines in both former and select never-Gavi eligible middle-income countries. The MICs Approach seeks to achieve explicit outcomes, reflecting its clear focus on results. A Theory of Change sets out a path to achieving these outcomes and a comprehensive measurement framework will monitor progress and help understand the impact of investments. A learning agenda accompanies the MICs Approach, helping to inform its implementation and enabling any needed course correction.
The Head, MICs Country Engagement must be a seasoned manager able to mentor and be a thought partner to his/her team members. The Head is expected to actively participate in key organisation-wide and cross-cutting initiatives related to policies, strategies, processes, and/or guidelines relevant to the effective delivery of Gavi’s mission.

- Timely, quality completion of the various steps of the grant making process, and high quality of key grant management documents (including MICs funding requests submitted to the Independent Review Committee or for CEO’s approval);
- Proactive identification and resolution/mitigation of issues and risks related to the management and use of Gavi investments in countries;
- Excellent relationships with key counterparts in governments, across the Gavi Alliance and with other development partners particularly at regional level;
- Support MICs country engagement team members to implement the MICs Learning Agenda;
- Support innovative solutions to support MICs with backsliding and new vaccine introductions;
- Support to Covid-19 vaccine delivery and related support through COVAX.
