Job description

 

Background

 

Somalia is often cited as an example where there has been constructive and innovative partnership between the World Bank and United Nations. Its enduring country platform – the Somalia Development and Reconstruction Facility (SDRF) – and the Mutual Accountability Framework (MAF) have been central to this partnership and the humanitarian-development-peace (HDP nexus) more broadly. The SDRF serves as both a coordination framework and a financing architecture for implementing the NDP-9. In addition to the coordination role it plays for all development resources, the SDRF provides a common governance structure for three multi-partner trust funds administered by the African Development Bank, the United Nations and the World Bank.

To leverage their collaboration in Somalia, the UN and WB have jointly financed a liaison officer since 2017 to support the aid coordination and effectiveness agenda, often using the SDRF and MAF as a springboard for this partnership. The liaison officer has played a key role in supporting the aid architecture; conducting aid flows analysis and supporting development of an online Aid Information Management System (AIMS); advancing the use of country systems (UCS) agenda; facilitating the development and monitoring of MAFs; and providing general liaison support across the UN and WB as and when needed.

UN and World Bank leadership in Somalia reaffirmed their commitment to this partnership at the UN-WB Steering Committee for Crisis Affected Situations on 5 October 2020. Continued support for a joint liaison officer position is part of a larger proposal aimed at strengthening UN-WB partnership in Somalia.

  • Promote collaboration and innovation between the UN and World Bank on cross-cutting issues, notably gender equality and women's empowerment, resilience and recovery, and the environment and climate change;
  • Promote information sharing and dialogue across the UN-WB, with government and the Somalia Donor Group;

Health Specialist, HPV Vaccine Scale-Up - P4

Kenya, Nairobi Area, Nairobi - UNICEF empImg

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. For every child, good mental health?. 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.

Provide guidance, tools, technical assistance and capacity building to regions in supporting countries in planning and implementing HPV vaccine scale-up and to reach the adolescent girls that may be missed due to various equity barriers and pandemic disruptions, - Support regions to ensure countries develop high quality Gavi applications and revise National Immunization Strategies (NIS) to introduce HPV vaccine. - Provide targeted technical assistance to integrate existing immunization equity data and assessments in HPV vaccine introduction plans to ensure countries reach high-risk, out of school and marginalized girls with high coverage. - Support regions to mobilize multi-sectoral capacity to facilitate countries utilize the opportunity of HPV vaccine as an entry point to integrate other adolescent interventions and to strengthen life course immunization including Td boosters. Develop and disseminate programmatic guidance for UNICEF regional and country offices to mobilize multi-sectoral integrated approaches in reaching adolescent girls and share the guidance with partners to inform similar global guidelines. - Develop internal programmatic guidance on multi-sectoral approaches under the guidance of Coverage & Equity team with inputs from the ROs, other teams, sections and programmes (Adolescent health, Gender, HIV/AIDS, Education, Nutrition, Adolescent Development and Participation (ADAP), etc). - Develop a dissemination plan to introduce the multi-sectoral guidance to the UNICEF regions, countries and external partners. - Assist with the dissemination of the guidance through regional coordination platforms and other mechanisms. - Support developing a root cause analysis and its implementation in selected countries with low coverage to define equity, demand, gender and integration opportunities. - Coordinate with the Immunization Supply Chain (ISC) team to support in-country HPV vaccine supply security in through strengthening stock monitoring, implementing wastage reduction strategies, and testing the Controlled Temperature Chain (CTC) last mile delivery where feasible. Support regional and country coordination and decision making for HPV vaccine scale-up through regional coordination mechanisms, Regional Working Groups (RWG), Regional Immunization Technical Advisory Groups (RITAG), national immunization programme managers meetings, and similar events). - Participate in regional coordination mechanisms and provide guidance and technical assistance to facilitate country decision making. - Facilitate the organization of dedicated sessions to discuss HPV revitalization and available UNICEF support. - Identify remaining data and evidence gaps and needs on HPV vaccine introduction, reaching high coverage and integration with other interventions.
