Consultant - Epidemiology and Risk Analysis of Yellow Fever at World Health Organization (WHO)

Posted on Wed 06th Nov, 2024 - hotnigerianjobs.com --- (0 comments)


World Health Organization (WHO) is the directing and coordinating authority for health within the United Nations system. It is responsible for providing leadership on global health matters, shaping the health research agenda, setting norms and standards, articulating evidence-based policy options, providing technical support to countries and monitoring and assessing health trends.

We are recruiting to fill the position below:

Job Title: Consultant - Epidemiology and Risk Analysis of Yellow Fever

Job ID: 2407255
Location: Anywhere
Schedule: Part-time
Organization: HQ/WSH Water, Sanitation, Hygiene and Health
Contractual Arrangement: External consultant
Expected duration of contract: 11 months (part-time 80%)

Purpose of Consultancy

  • To define the risk level for countries endemic for yellow fever using standardized methodologies.

Background

  • To respond to the increased risk of large urban yellow fever outbreaks with international spread that could threaten global health security, the comprehensive, multicomponent Global Eliminate Yellow Fever Epidemics (EYE) strategy was developed by EYE partners. The EYE Strategy endorses a continuum of preventive activities, ranging from preventive vaccination activities with implementation tiered according to risk, to rapid detection and response to outbreaks. The EYE vaccine delivery working group (VDWG) is one of the four technical working groups of the EYE Strategy that provides technical guidance on vaccination.  
  • Since 2020, a resurgence of yellow fever (YF) outbreaks in Africa has caused concerns about the sustainable elimination of these epidemics. Since late 2020, 15 countries have reported confirmed and probable YF cases, with 30 outbreaks recorded, of which 12 were disruptive. A large-scale investment has been made under the EYE Strategy. Since the Strategy’s inception, mass vaccination campaigns have protected around 264 million African people against yellow fever. This investment risks being jeopardized in 10-15 years unless a targeted policy is operationalized.
  • This consultancy aims to support yellow fever risk assessment initiatives. The consultant will provide direct assistance to the EYE Strategy secretariat and the EYE Risk Analysis Working Group (EYE-RAWG), helping with national and subnational risk analysis assessments in countries across the African, Eastern Mediterranean, Latin American, and Caribbean regions. They will also develop and adapt tools and resources for these purposes.
