UNICEF works in some of the world’s toughest places, to reach the world’s most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential.

Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone.

And we never give up.

**For every child, **_an opportunity..._**

Purpose of Activity/Assignment:
With support from UNICEF, the cold chain system for vaccine storage and management in the national Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI) has been strengthened. However, the cold chain system has not yet met the current storage demand at community level (commune health centers) as well as for introduction of new vaccines including HPV and PCV which is planned in 2025 and 2026.

UNICEF has been able to support Ministry of Health (MOH) and the National Expanded Programme on Immunization (NEPI) of the National Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology (NIHE) of MOH with procurement and supply of more than 4,000 units of cold chain equipment (CCE): model HBC80 for commune health centers. This met only 30 per cent of the demand at community level and several provinces are still in need of further support for CCE given the increase in the population and more vaccines will be introduced in EPI (e.g. PCV and HPV).

Normally, the planning and distribution of CCEs supported by UNICEF are managed by NIHE at national level. However, with the changes in decentralization of decision making and management of public goods and assets to provincial level authorities, the role and responsibilities for receiving incl. custom clearance and distribution of CCEs are now with the Provincial People’s Committees (PPCs) and the designed agencies such as the provincial Department of Health (DOH) and or the Center for Disease Control. UNICEF is planning to support selected provinces to review their needs, and plan and deploy their provincial plan for CCE at commune heath centers. To receive UNICEF’s support and supplies including CCE, the DoH and or CDC have to develop a non-technical project document in line with the current ODA’s regulations issued by the Government and submit to the provincial PPC for approval.

In this decentralized context and to support timely development of non-technical project proposals and the approval and effective implementation of CCE deployment plans of 02 selected provinces namely Hung Yen and Quang Binh, UNICEF would like to seek a consultant to provide technical support for provincial partners in planning and implementation of CCE deployment plans in coordination with the vendors, NIHE and UNICEF.

Scope of Work:

- In coordination with provinces and NIHE, MOH to review, validate and ensure the non-technical project documents on acceptance of the CCE (220 units of refrigerator HBC 80) by provinces are developed meeting the current need and in-line with Government regulations and requirements, and approved by Provincial People's Committees (PPCs).
- In coordination with provinces and NIHE, MOH, to provide technical advice and input to provincial Departments of Health of Hung Yen and provincial Center for Disease Control of Quang Binh for preparation of customs clearance documents and development of CCE delivery plans which include a list of identified health facilities receiving the equipment.
- In coordination with provinces, NIHE, MOH and the selected vendors, to assist the implementation of supply delivery plans, and organization of UNICEF and donor’s visits on deployment of the CCE including a hand-over event in at least one province.

**How can you make a difference?**
