Health Specialist, HPV Vaccine Scale-Up - P4

Kenya, Nairobi Area, Nairobi - UNICEF

Under the guidance of the supervisor, the incumbent of this position supports the Immunization Section in HQ in providing day to day assistance to strengthen Regional Office and Country Office capacities to effectively assist countries scaling up HPV vaccine in their national immunization programmes.   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. Out of 120 countries which have introduced HPV vaccine in their national immunization programmes so far, 26 low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) were supported by Gavi since 2018. At least 20 more LMICs are planning to introduce in the next couple of years. However, HPV vaccination coverage is low compared to the other childhood vaccines due to a mix of reasons. These include earlier supply constraints, pandemic backsliding, suboptimal outreach to schools and remote rural and conflict/humanitarian settings, gender-related barriers, low public demand and trust, and weak touchpoints of the adolescent age group with primary health care. Based on the need to accelerate progress to achieve global cervical cancer elimination by 2030, Gavi Alliance adopted the HPV Programme Revitalization 2023-2025. The programme aims further scale up the number of countries and the vaccination coverage, reaching 86 M girls in LMICs with HPV vaccination by 2025. UNICEF has decades of experience in supporting immunization worldwide and has actively contributed the LMICs to conduct HPV demonstration projects before Gavi approved nationwide introductions. UNICEF has accelerated support to HPV vaccination from 2018 through its Headquarters, Regional and Country Offices and leveraging its presence in every country as a core Alliance partner. Through the multi-partner collaboration mechanism at the global level, UNICEF assumed the lead role for social and behaviour change and immunization supply chain in HPV vaccine roll-out, as well as supporting country decision making, development of Gavi applications, and providing technical assistance to strengthen programmatic preparedness, capacity building, mobilizing community networks and Community Health Workers to reach all girls. UNICEF also managed the global HPV vaccine supply and maintained liaison with the manufacturers to ensure a healthy market. We have implemented proof-of-concept projects in two countries to test the multisectoral collaboration through integration of additional adolescent health interventions alongside the HPV vaccine. UNICEF's Gender Action Plan (GAP) included HPV roll-out as one of the results prioritized reflecting the commitment of the organization. Until 2022 more than 25 countries introduced HPV vaccine nationwide with UNICEF support. Based on the achievements of its previous work, UNICEF will continue to provide support along the aforementioned programme areas during the HPV Revitalization 2023-2025. In addition to that, the organization is to mobilize additional institutional strengths based on its multi-sectoral capacity as a child rights organization and work across five key programmatic areas to better address 1) Coverage & Equity 2) Demand 3) Gender 4) Innovation 5) Multi-sectoral work & integrated programming for adolescents through collaboration with other teams such as adolescent health, education/school health and nutrition, adolescent development and participation, HIV/AIDS and WASH.
