Job Title
Private Sector Immunization Mapping Consultant job at United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF)
United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF)
Job Description
The Greater Kampala Metropolitan Area (GKMA), comprising Wakiso, Mukono, and Kampala districts, faces challenges of insufficient public health facilities to meet the demands of a rapidly growing population. This has led to the proliferation of private healthcare providers, who are not consistently regulated or integrated into the national health management system.
Despite improvements in immunization coverage, gaps remain in equity, resulting in a high number of zero-dose and under-immunized children. To address this, UNICEF, in collaboration with MoH and DHOs, seeks to update the mapping of private healthcare providers to improve planning and coordination of immunization services.
The consultant will conduct data collection, develop a questionnaire, systematically visit identified private healthcare facilities, synthesize data, and produce a comprehensive report and dynamic map of private sector facilities and services.
