UNICEF is funded entirely by the voluntary contributions of individuals, businesses, ...
Towards achieving high immunization coverage while introducing new vaccines through equity-focused vaccination program, the need for effective immunization supply chain remains vital. Efficient supply chains equipped with reliable cold chain equipment are important in helping countries primarily to reaching children with potent lifesaving vaccines to protect them against vaccine preventable diseases and subsequently increase immunization coverage.
To support countries in improving their cold chains, Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI) has established Cold Chain Equipment Optimization Platform (CCEOP). Through the Platform, GAVI has committed funding to jointly invest with countries to purchase and install cold chain equipment that meets specific technology requirements. With this initiative a total of 55 countries are eligible out of which 14 are in Eastern and Southern Africa Region(ESAR).
Cold chain equipment suppliers will be responsible for in-country storage, distribution, installation and commissioning of equipment. UNICEF SD will be the sole procurement agency for this activity that requires effective planning, implementation and monitoring of multiple activities across wide geographical areas within a short window of time.
While suppliers are responsible for all in-country operations, UNICEF strives to place the national government in the best position to oversee and manage the supplier’s performance, ensuring that all commissioned equipment meets procurement expectations, such as the agreed upon time, place, location, condition, quantity, and cost.
Hence, UNICEF/ ESARO is seeking a suitable candidate to support roll out of CCEOP and to assist with planning, implementation and monitoring of activities.
