The DRC has been certified free of wild poliovirus since 2015. However, the country has been facing outbreaks of circulating variant poliovirus (cVDPV1 and 2) since 2017. Today, DRC is still the country in the African region with most at risk of polio and the priority country in the efforts of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI). Thus, the Social and Behavior Change play a crucial role in improving child immunization in general and for polio particularly, by fostering understanding of childhood diseases, creating demand for services and acceptance of the vaccines.

To support field offices and programme sections in handling transactions in VISION Sudan CO has established a VISION Hub service center by bringing together a small group of staff who have expertise and skills through hands-on training and experience in the use of the VISION application.

Therefore, centralizing transaction for field offices in Port Sudan may help to address this risk. Under the supervision and guidance of the supervisor, the programme associate supports the respective section (s) by carrying out a range of programme support functions to help develop, implement and monitor their country programme, ensuring effective and timely delivery that is consistent with UNICEF rules and regulations. The Programme Associate works in close collaboration with a range of staff in the CO, external partners and agency counterparts in support of programme design and delivery.

The Immunization Section is entering a period of strategic transition, marked by the shift to a new Organizational Management Plan (OMP) and the evolution from Gavi 5.0 to Gavi 6.0. These changes bring new priorities, structures, and ways of working that require thoughtful adaptation and alignment across teams. In such contexts, the ability to retain critical knowledge, preserve institutional memory and improve collaboration becomes essential to ensure continuity, coherence, and sustained impact. Knowledge management plays a vital role in capturing and disseminating learning from past and ongoing initiatives, particularly as the current Strategic Plan (SP) and OMP cycles conclude. Documenting lessons learned, good practices, and implementation insights will help inform future planning and strengthen adaptive learning across the organization. This is especially important for ensuring that institutional knowledge remains accessible and actionable during times of change. The transition to Gavi 6.0 also introduces updated processes and guidance that require clear communication and capacity-building across Country Offices and partners. Strategic KM support is essential to ensure that these changes are well understood, internalized, and implemented effectively. In addition, knowledge management can function as a bridge to support collaboration and improve organizational learning and effectiveness in times of change and uncertainty.
This consultancy will contribute to these efforts by advancing targeted KM initiatives that promote knowledge continuity, internal collaboration, and organizational learning.
