The role of the individual consultant aligns directly with the optimization of the PHC concept by ensuring vaccines are accessible at the community level, increasing coverage, and ensuring timely delivery of vaccines and other PHC commodities using the new initiatives such as DRIVE [Direct Delivery of Routine Immunization Vaccines and other PHC commodities for equity]. Their efforts in optimizing the cold chain and vaccine stock management system within PHC settings are crucial for maintaining vaccine potency, reducing wastage, and ensuring the efficacy of immunization supply chain activities. The consultant will also contribute to achieving broader health goals like universal health coverage (UHC) and the Immunization Agenda 2030 by supporting innovative supply chain technologies and the effective management of health commodities.
This intervention, implemented by WFP and UNICEF, is an integrated Nutrition, Health, Education, Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) and Livelihoods programme. The objective is to provide households with sustainable food security and livelihoods that enable them to produce, access and afford nutritious food. In addition, these interventions will help communities produce sufficient food to sell their surplus, and to add value and connect with higher value markets to boost household income and savings. This in turn will further improve their access to education, health, and WASH services.The candidate will be responsible for field level management and coordination of JRP activities across the four districts, including interface with communities, partners, and local authorities.
Pakistan, with a population exceeding 240 million, faces persistent challenges in poverty, social exclusion, gender inequality, and vulnerability to disasters and emergencies. Over 38% of Pakistanis live in multidimensional poverty, with deep disparities at provincial and district levels, exacerbated by social exclusion, discrimination, and violence against marginalized groups, especially women, children, and minorities. The COVID-19 pandemic, recurring natural disasters, and ongoing humanitarian crises have further exposed the fragility of community systems and the urgent need for robust, inclusive, and resilient community engagement mechanisms
Social norms, information gaps, and low trust in public services further hinder service uptake. Technical solutions alone are insufficient; robust community engagement (CE) is essential to expand service reach, strengthen frontline systems, and address behavioral, social, and structural barriers. However, current CE efforts are fragmented and inconsistently linked with service delivery.
Community engagement emerged as one of the most effective components across the SBC portfolio . It relies on trusted local actors, culturally grounded approaches, participatory delivery, and regular interpersonal contact. These strategies helped shift knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours across sectors including health, WASH, education, nutrition, child protection, and polio.
The SBC formative evaluation highlights that interpersonal, community embedded delivery was the central driver of behaviour change. By leveraging community trust, local insights, and repeated face to face engagement, programmes were able to overcome social barriers, build ownership, and make desired behaviours more practical and acceptable for households.
