Avis de recrutement : UNICEF recrute un(e) Consultant(e) en national(e), Afghanistan.

 

 

 

 

 

Description :

Afghanistan is still one of the last two polio-endemic countries in the world with Pakistan. Despite rigorous efforts to achieve polio-free status in 2021, four cases of wild poliovirus type 1 (WPV-1) and 45 cases of circulating Vaccine Derived Polio Virus type 2 (cDVPV-2) were reported in the country. And as of November 2022, only 2 cases of WPV-1 and one cDVPV-2 have been confirmed in Paktika and Helmand provinces, respectively.

Based on administration data, several challenges remained, and these resulted in high numbers of children missing vaccinations; These include;  the adoption of suboptimal site-based campaign modalities; security incidents or threat information creating the need for low-profile campaigns; poor campaign quality; fewer women engaged; refusals; rumours and misinformation; difficulty collecting data; high levels of population movement; low rates of routine immunisation; and interference in the recruitment of front-line polio workers continue to challenge polio eradication efforts in Afghanistan.
