Organizational Context and Purpose for the Job
Nigeria has made significant strides in the fight against polio, yet the journey towards complete eradication poses persistent challenges. Factors such as vaccine hesitancy, harmful social and gender norms, low political support, inadequate healthcare infrastructure, population movement, security concerns, and weak health systems continue to impede progress. In collaboration with the government, UNICEF is committed to catalyzing transformative change and action by reinforcing community engagement, fortifying healthcare infrastructure, enhancing surveillance and response mechanisms, and securing increased funding and political commitment.
How can you make a difference?
Under the direction of the Chief of Communication, Advocacy, and Partnership, the communication specialist will lead, and coordinate advocacy efforts aimed at driving change and action through enhancing political commitment, refining advocacy, and communication strategies, engaging local partners, and addressing misinformation, particularly in the focal states of Kebbi, Zamfara, Sokoto, and Katsina.
