UNICEF Supply Division (SD) has identified strengthening national vaccine procurement practices as a key component of its approach to supporting Gavi transitioning and other middle-income countries (MICs) in ensuring sustainable access to and timely supply of affordable vaccines. To this end, UNICEF Supply Division has been supporting countries by facilitating such learning via multiple projects, including hosting the annual Vaccine Procurement Forum (VPF) since 2015, which is a unique opportunity to allow procurement practitioners from different countries/regions to network with and learn from peers and to catalyze momentum for future continuous exchanges. In addition, in 2016, VC established the virtual community of practice Vaccine Procurement Practitioners Network (VPPN) to provide a platform for the continuous exchange of theoretical and practical knowledge, joint learning and collaborative problem-solving, for national stakeholders in the vaccine procurement process. Membership in the VPPN has grown over time as a result of a strategy to gradually include interested vaccine procurement practitioners from additional countries, as well as other relevant stakeholders and experts. The e-learning course on strategic vaccine procurement is closely connected to these activities, which provides procurement professionals with the background and necessary building blocks to develop a strategic vaccine approach. All three activities are part of the overall work VC is working on to support countries to strengthen their vaccine procurement processes, ensuring access to affordable, quality-assured vaccines for children. To support this effort, the consultant will support increasing the visibility of VC’s procurement strengthening work by editing key videos filmed during the 2024 VPFs with key participants.
