@adaemmanuel
I improve immunization coverage through microplanning, zero-dose identification, and community engagement.
NigeriaWhat I'm looking for
I'm supporting Dawakin Kudu LGA Health Authority and UNICEF to plan, monitor, and improve immunization activities. I analyze coverage gaps, refine target population estimates, identify zero-dose children, and map hard-to-reach communities for targeted outreach.
Previously, I led polio Social Behavior Change activities for the Kano State Ministry of Health via UNICEF, working with traditional and religious leaders, ward teams, and communities to address vaccine hesitancy and increase uptake.
I've also delivered field research and monitoring for WHO, UNICEF, NBS, Sydani Group, QualiQuant Services, and Oxford Policy Management, using LQAS, baseline and endline surveys, community interviews, and data verification to inform public health, humanitarian, agriculture, and education programs.
