Project Background 

JSI Research & Training Institute, Inc. (JSI) is a public health management consulting and research organization dedicated to improving the health of individuals and communities worldwide. JSI is currently implementing the USAID-funded MOMENTUM (Moving Integrated, Quality Maternal, Newborn, and Child Health and Family Planning and Reproductive Health Services to Scale) Round... 3B, known as MOMENTUM-Routine Immunization Transformation and Equity (M-RITE). 

M-RITE’s overarching goal is to strengthen routine immunization programs sustainably to 1) overcome the entrenched obstacles contributing to stagnating and declining immunization rates in USAID-supported countries, and 2) address the barriers to reaching zero-dose and under-immunized children with life-saving vaccines and other health services.

JSI is currently seeking the services of a Third-Party Logistics (3PL) firm to transport mPox vaccines to the state cold stores in seven states (Akwa Ibom, Cross River, Rivers, Bayelsa, Enugu, Benue, and FCT) under strict temperature-controlled conditions, adhering to the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Nigerian Ministry of Health guidelines for vaccine storage, transportation, and distribution. The transportation must also comply with local regulations and any necessary documentation related to health and safety standards. 

The bulk transportation of these vaccines is from the National Strategic Cold Store by Airport Road, opposite Presidential Wing, Abuja to the State Cold Stores in the State Capital.

TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS:

Printing of Project documents/ materials for USAID M-RITE, October 2024

Background to the Project:

The MOMENTUM Routine Immunization Transformation and Equity (M-RITE) project, which is funded by USAID, collaborates with the Nigerian government to enhance routine immunization (RI) programs in partner nations that prioritize maternal, neonatal, and child health, voluntary family planning, and... reproductive health (MNCH/FP/RH).The primary objective of the project is to overcome the obstacles that prevent the provision of life-saving vaccines and other health services to under-immunized and zero-dose children. 

M-RITE is a collective consortium that is composed of distinguished individuals from various countries around the world. These individuals have a wealth of expertise in a variety of fields, including finance, data and learning, social and behavior change, strategic partnerships, gender, and human-centered design. They specialize in immunization systems approaches, integrated management and service delivery, health system strengthening (HSS), and immunization systems approaches.

In the five focal states of Bayelsa, Edo, Imo, Jigawa, and Lagos, M-RITE is collaborating with the Nigeria National Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI), the Government of Nigeria, and other routine immunization implementing partners.

Current Status of the Activity:

This activity was designed to identify sustainable methods that would enhance the convenience of immunization services for urban caregivers. By engaging a diverse group of stakeholders in human-centered design (HCD) and co-creation approaches, we examined the key barriers to adjusting routine immunization service days and hours. This process allowed us to identify optimal days and times that would enable more caregivers to bring their young children for full and timely vaccination and to determine what can facilitate and sustain these changes. In order to raise awareness of the changes in RI days, we plan to print a banner and handbills that will serve as effective communication tools for informing the community about the changes in routine immunization days.The banner can be strategically positioned in high-traffic areas, such as clinics, schools, markets, and community centers, to attract attention and provide clear, concise information about the new immunization schedule. Conversely, handbills can be distributed directly to individuals, guaranteeing that the message is communicated to a wide range of individuals. They may be distributed at community meetings, deposited in receptacles or published in local newspapers. Both mediums should include easy-to-read text, engaging graphics, and vibrant colors to maximize their impact and to ensure that the community is well-informed and prepared for the changes

General objective of the assignment:


The overarching goal of this assignment is to generate high-quality flyers and a roll-up banner that will serve to advertise the USAID/M-RITE mission and its contributions to the revitalization and expansion of routine immunization in Nigeria, with a particular emphasis on Edo State.
