Vacancy at Notify (Health Monitoring, Evaluation & Learning Officer (Remote)
Notify Health is an early-stage nonprofit dedicated to ensuring all Nigerian children receive life-saving immunizations.
- We use simple SMS and automated voice calls to help caregivers remember and track vital vaccination appointments.
- Research shows that up to half of missed vaccinations occur because caregivers are unaware of additional visits or forget to return.
- As a tech-focused yet pragmatic organization, we build on existing government systems and the widespread use of cellphones by partnering with local CSOs to collect essential information—such as a child’s birth date, name, and caregiver’s phone number—and send timely immunization reminders through our mass messaging system.
- Additionally, we explore other cost-effective innovations to increase vaccine uptake.
- This approach makes it easier for primary healthcare centers and caregivers to collaborate, leading to better health outcomes for children.
Notify Health is a small NGO with a BIG mission. We are fast-moving and constantly innovating our approach.
We are looking for someone who is as energized as we are to solve undervaccination in Nigeria.
- As a Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) officer at Notify Health you will have the opportunity to grow professionally while enabling the evolution of our program through high quality data.
- Notify Health has completed a pilot project in Kogi State where we enrolled more than 2,000 children in the program over 3 months.
- This year we are looking to expand our program to help more than 20,000 caregivers of newborn children across two states and this is only the start of our journey.
