Expression of Interest (EOI): Seeking locally-registered organizations in Nigeria to assist with implementation of evidence-based interventions to improve routine immunization outcomes in Bayelsa, Edo, Imo, Jigawa and Lagos states.

JSI Research and Training Institute, Inc. (JSI) is soliciting applications for USAID’s Moving Integrated, Quality Maternal, Newborn, and Child Health and Family Planning and Reproductive Health (MOMENTUM) Routine Immunization Transformation and Equity project, to strengthen routine immunization (RI) programs to overcome entrenched obstacles that contribute to stagnating and declining immunization rates and address barriers to reaching zero-dose and under-immunized children with life-saving vaccines.  

JSI seeks three (3) locally-registered organizations able to implement in the five (5) focus states: Bayelsa, Edo, Imo, Jigawa and Lagos, to assist with technical and programmatic implementation of routine immunization services in Nigeria. Activities will build on existing planning and implementation efforts for RI and primary health care (PHC) services aimed at addressing equity, effectiveness, and sustainability in the local country context. Coordination will require close collaboration with Ministries of Health and other government actors, national and local institutes of public health, UN agencies and other relevant USAID investments. Under this solicitation, JSI anticipates awarding three (3) subawards over an approximate twenty (20) month period.

Please read the EOI in its entirety. Confirm that your organization meets the Eligibility Requirements (Section II.C), and ensure that your EOI application addresses all items listed in the Instructions to Applications (Section II).
