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.
