Immunization Project Coordinator

About the job &nbsp;Ethiopia’s Ministry of Health (MoH) conducted multi-age-cohort (MAC) vaccination of HPV for girls aged 9-14 years in November 2024. JSI provided technical support to MoH in planning, coordination, demand generation and post campaign evidence review. JSI partnered with Girls Effect to implement a package of demand-generation activities prior to and during the week of the MAC in two woredas, Jigjiga town in Somali region and Derashie woreda in South Ethiopia region. In the two woredas, Girls Effect implemented a comprehensive demand-generation strategy in an effort to increase HPV vaccine uptake, which included asocial and behavioral change communication (SBCC) campaign through social media, community influencers, information, education and communication materials (i.e. handouts and audio messages), while also utilizing school-based and community engagement strategies. Both in-school and out-of-school girls aged 9-14 years, as well as their parents/caregivers and other influential decision-makers were targeted for the demand creation activities. Following the demand creation campaign conclusion, Girl Effect and JSI are planning to &nbsp;assess its effectiveness through targeted surveys and qualitative inquiry. Insights will be gathered to measure the campaign's reach, its impact on awareness and attitudes, and how it influenced behaviors around HPV vaccinationAnticipated method of the studyTo assess the effectiveness of demand creation activities in increasing uptake of HPV vaccination, a cross-sectional, mixed methods evaluation will be conducted. Household survey using LQAS sampling in two program woredas (one in Somali, one in South Ethiopia) and two control woredas (adjacent to intervention woredas) will be utilized.&nbsp; Focus group discussion and in-depth interviews with key community influencers, and caregivers of adolescents aged 9-14 years will also be employed to gather qualitative insights.We aim to estimate reported “dose of exposure” to each component of the intervention and explore potential associations between the intervention exposure dose and key outcome variables, including KAP indicators and uptake of the vaccine. The survey will examine associations of the KAP indicators with vaccination uptake. Through the survey we will collect information about sociodemographic characteristics, knowledge and attitudes towards HPV vaccination, including questions on power dynamics and decision-making within the household to gather insights around gender-related barriers, and collect information around exposure to the demand intervention package. We will also collect information on the HPV vaccination status among girls aged 9-14 years of age. The research design includes:&nbsp;<ol><li>Post-Campaign survey:<ul><li>Target population: Households with caregivers of girls aged 9-14</li><li>Survey Focus Areas:<ul><li>Vaccination coverage: Gather data on the number of girls vaccinated through the campaign.

CARE Ethiopia
CARE started working in Ethiopia in 1984 in response to severe drought and famine that devastated the population and claimed the lives of nearly one million people. Since then, the organization&rsquo;s activities have expanded to address the root causes of poverty and vulnerability.
In 2008, CARE Ethiopia&rsquo;s office moved from a project-based approach to a more focused and strategic program-based approach. Over the eight years since that transition, CARE Ethiopia has implemented a series of programs with successful outcomes, while simultaneously impacting the policies and practices of government, serving as a thought leader amongst NGOs, and bringing transformative change to rural communities. These broader and deeper impacts go beyond the direct impacts of its programs and are a result of CARE Ethiopia&rsquo;s overall country strategy, which enables CARE to design for scale.
CARE Ethiopia works in various sectors but has particularly targeted the following:
&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Food Security and Resilience
&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; WASH&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;
