About the Consultancy

The MLE Strategy team optimizes Evidence Action ’s programming through versatile and right-fit monitoring and evaluation solutions and insights. Working closely with other global and regional teams, we are responsible for developing MLE frameworks and strategies that improve programs and further our understanding of programmatic impact. With the work our team does, Evidence Action is uniquely able to adapt its programs based on the evidence we generate and share. Evidence Action is preparing to pilot an Immunization Demand Generation (IDG) program in Nigeria, focused on increasing routine childhood vaccination coverage by boosting demand among caregivers of children under two. The intervention comprises three components: (1) digital reminders (text and voice) to caregivers about vaccination schedules, (2) community ambassadors who encourage vaccination uptake through trusted social networks, and (3) targeted incentives for caregivers in areas with low baseline vaccination rates. The pilot will be implemented across 10 LGAs in two Nigerian states. Supervised by the Associate Director of MLE Strategy, this consultancy will design, develop, and implement the MLE system for the IDG pilot, with a focus on three primary functions: (1) formative research design and analysis, (2) MLE system design and tool development, and (3) data analysis and reporting.
