Job Title: Manager, Program - Immunization Demand Generation (Consultant)
Location: Abuja
About the Program
WMNC (Safe Water, Maternal health, New program development, Cost-effectiveness) Team:
Our New Program Development Team’s primary responsibility is to conduct early-stage research of potential new programs, including literature reviews, evidence synthesis, and cost-effectiveness modelling. NPD’s work adapts as programs progress through the Accelerator pipeline: we shift from evaluating evidence to designing and piloting new programs, and eventually to launching programs at scale.
If you are passionate about health and social impact, enjoy rigorous research, and thrive in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment, we encourage you to apply.

You will report to the Deputy Country Director (DCD) and directly supervise two State Coordinators and the CO IDG Officer, providing overall technical and programme management oversight across both implementation states.
Immunization Demand Generation (IDG) is one area of emerging program development. The team will explore and test evidence-based approaches to increase timely and complete childhood immunization, including understanding barriers to caregiver demand and evaluating scalable interventions such as targeted communication, community engagement, and digital approaches such as SMS reminders. This work will involve assessing the existing evidence, identifying promising intervention models, designing context-appropriate pilots, and generating rigorous evidence on their effectiveness and cost-effectiveness in Nigeria and other relevant settings.
