Deadline

04 Oct 2026

UNICEF Afghanistan's Polio Section requires time-limited, specialized Information Management (IM) expertise to deliver a set of defined technical outputs during a critical six-month program phase (October 2026 – March 2027). This consultancy is temporary in nature, tied to specific deliverables, and required to support the piloting and national scale-up of the polio program 'reset' strategy, which introduces new data systems, monitoring frameworks, and field-level digitization processes that are beyond the current capacity and expertise of the existing Polio Section team. The consultant will produce defined outputs across three areas: (1) integration of SBC, VCCM, and polio extender monitoring data into the Afghanistan Polio Management Information System (APMIS) to enable real-time analysis under the national 'pull' strategy; (2) structured IM technical support to the M&E team and field offices during the reset pilot phase in the South and Southeast regions; and (3) design and piloting of an AI-assisted digitization workflow for paper-based Registration Books in the East Region, including a proof of concept, field pilot, scale-up concept note, and trend analysis.
