Traditional health messaging often fails to resonate with adolescent communities, particularly around sensitive topics like HPV vaccination where cultural beliefs, peer influence, and misinformation shape decisions more powerfully than expert recommendations. Recent breakthrough research from the Mercury Project's multi-country study "Developing a Scalable Community-Driven Approach to Combatting Health Misinformation" has demonstrated that when communities
create their own health messages, these crowd-sourced communications significantly outperform standard expert designed campaigns. The approach works because it harnesses authentic language, cultural references, and persuasive
strategies that naturally emerge from within communities, the same peer-to-peer channels through which both accurate information and misinformation already spread. The consultant will support the data science components of a project
that establishes a systematic, evidence-based methodology for developing and testing crowd-sourced peer-to-peer messaging to increase HPV vaccination uptake among adolescents in Uganda and Kenya.
Angola has made progress in child survival, with under-five mortality declining from 68 to 52 per 1,000 live births, between 2015 and 2024. This trajectory confirms that targeted investments in primary health care is yielding results. However, these gains remain fragile and uneven, with persistent geographic and socio-economic disparities requiring sustained, equity-focused efforts. At the same time, stagnation in key maternal and child health and nutrition indicators signal systemic bottlenecks. Rates of stunting (40 per cent), wasting (5 per cent), full immunization coverage (28 per cent), and access to WASH have shown limited improvement. This reflects structural challenges across the health system, including access to health care facilities, weak last-mile and community-based service delivery and quality gaps.
