UNICEF invites Expressions of Interest from locally established civil society organizations (CSOs) to support supplementary polio immunization activities (SIAs) in high-risk locations across Nigeria. The initiative aims to strengthen the response to circulating variant poliovirus type 2 and type 3 outbreaks by facilitating timely and traceable campaign payments, verifying the implementation of campaign activities, and ensuring accurate supporting documentation for review and audit purposes. The program focuses on vulnerable children in high-risk, hard-to-reach, and underserved communities where misinformation, vaccine hesitancy, insecurity, campaign fatigue, and socio-cultural barriers continue to affect immunization efforts. Proposed activities may include payment facilitation, monitoring and verification of campaign implementation, real-time submission of monitoring checklists, support for spot checks, documentation and liquidation processes, as well as complementary interventions related to advocacy, communication, social mobilization, vaccine management, cold chain logistics, and vaccine waste management. The partnership is designed to complement existing government and UNICEF-led campaign coordination mechanisms. No specific grant amount or project duration has been indicated in the call.
