Background:
Crown Agents is preparing to bid for the anticipated UNICEF-supported RFP for the “Implementation of National Vaccine Campaigns in South Sudan” and is currently seeking a Team Leader/EPI Technical Specialist who will provide strategic, technical, and managerial oversight of the programme.
The Covid-19 vaccines are deployed through 735 fixed health facilities, 251 mobile teams, 470 outreach teams, and Covid-19 intensification activities separately supported by Ministry of Health partners. Almost 10% of the population have now been vaccinated.
Despite progress, change is slow and a move from business as usual to new strategies is needed to move the country closer to its targets of having 40% coverage in the short term and eventually meeting the long-term target of 70% coverage of fully immunised eligible people. To do this, two national campaigns (one in September and one in January 2023) are being planned to cover the 77 counties and 3 administrative states.

Based from the Crown Agent’s South Sudan office in Juba, the M&E and Data Manager will provide technical capacity building at the SMOH and CHD levels as well as directly with Implementing Partners to ensure that all vaccine data is uploaded on a daily basis on the national Covid-19 database as well as provide the programme with detailed analysis of performance against agreed metrics. When necessary, the position will travel to the find to solve problems.
Responsibilities:
Specific responsibilities of the M&E and Data Manager Include:
- Ensure that all the Covid-19 vaccination reporting tools and associated training packages are delivered to the chosen implementing partners
