Job Description
SERVICES/SCOPE OF WORK: The staff shall use all reasonable efforts to perform the following services in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this agreement:
A. Background
CHOICES (Choice Optimization for Immunization: Country Exercises in Sustainability) project aims to engage countries currently or formerly eligible for Gavi support who may be interested in conducting optimization and prioritization exercises. CHOICES provides evidence-based decision-making support to countries in navigating the expanding vaccine options and optimizing products, schedules, and vial sizes for pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCV), rotavirus vaccines, HPV vaccines, measles-containing vaccines (MCV, MR, MMR), and others.
Currently in Ethiopia, the MoH/EPI team has finalized the preparation for a compulsory Rota vaccine product switch. Through this CHOICES project, JSI has been supporting MoH-Ethiopia in preparation for switching of Rota vaccine.
With possible additional funding from BMGF for the period beyond CHOICES implementation period, JSI is planning to continue provision of technical assistance to the MoH-Ethiopia to facilitate the compulsory switch of RVV as part of the routine immunization. JSI is accepting applications from immunization technical experts with either introduction or switch experience to facilitate the RVV switch in Ethiopia. The staffing of successful applicants are subject to donor approval.
The person will be supervised by the JSI Activity Manager. If travel is required for work plan activities, JSI will cover travel and accommodation costs.
