Context:


Over the past years, Nigeria has considerably expanded the availability of vaccination services for infants. Despite this progress on the supply side, demand for vaccinations remains relatively low. New Incentives encourage mothers to fully vaccinate their infants with cash transfers and thereby ensures their babies are protected against deadly diseases. The cash transfers allow the mothers to afford transport to the clinic and compensate them for lost income.

  • Assist with other duties related to the program

  • Nigerian national already based in Bauchi State

  • Minimum of National Diploma, ideally Bachelor degree, preferably in the field of health or other natural sciences

  • Willingness to work at remote public clinics a few days per week and take public transport to reach them

  • Experience with the Nigerian health system and clinic documentation, particularly related to infant health and vaccinations

  • Experience in collecting, synthesizing, and drawing conclusions from (health) data is desirable

  • Careful attention to financial matters and management of funds

  • Detail-oriented, diligent professional
