Organization Background
JSI is a US-based public health nonprofit organization committed to delivering high-quality technical and managerial assistance programs worldwide. With over 25 years of experience in Ethiopia, JSI has implemented over 60 projects, focusing on improving health outcomes, quality, and equity in access to reproductive, maternal, newborn, child, and adolescent health (RMNCAH) services. JSI has actively contributed to various areas, including primary health care, community health programs, digital health, health information systems (HIS), supply chain management, public health emergency responses, and social and behavior change.
Overview
Over the past few years, the John Snow Research & Training Institute, Inc. (JSI) has provided technical assistance to Ethiopia's Ministry of Health (MoH) to strengthen the national and sub-national immunization systems, with a focus on identifying and reaching zero-dose and under-immunized communities in hard-to-reach areas. As part of full portfolio planning (FPP), MoH-Ethiopia has initiated various strategies and activities to identify and reach zero dose and under immunized children with technical assistance to RHBs being one of the key strategies. MoH identified a need for ongoing technical assistance at national level to support new vaccine introduction, provision of vaccines administered in the second year of life and beyond and reduce number of zero dose and under immunized children through delivery of integrated services to improve efficiency, regularity and/or reliability of planned immunization activities and reduce gender-based barriers to utilization of immunization services. Through funding from Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, JSI will provide technical assistance on routine immunization to selected regional health bureaus (RHBs) to support the effort of the ministry in reducing the number of zero-dose children in Ethiopia.
JSI is looking to hire a regional immunization advisor (RIA) to be based in the regional health bureau (RHB) of Benishangul Gumuz region to provide technical assistance to extend immunization service through reaching zero-dose, under-immunized children and missed communities
Activity Overview

Specifically, he/she will support the RHB in monitoring performance of zero-doses, conducting rapid convenience survey (RCS) on RI and catch-up vaccination, microplanning, HPV and new vaccine introduction (NVI) supports. He/she will be seconded to the RHBs. The RIA will provide day-to-day and strategic support to the RHBās EPI team for the responsibilities described below.
