Non-profit New Incentives is looking to identify Field Officers that will help to expand its team dedicated to preventing child mortality in Jigawa, Katsina, and the Zamfara States in Nigeria. This post is strictly for contingency purposes and to identify candidates for future scaling (potentially).
The Field Officers will support the New Incentives program that utilizes cash transfers to encourage mothers to complete the immunization schedule of their infants. The program is operated in cooperation with the State Primary Healthcare Development Board in Jigawa/Katsina/Zamfara State. The primary duty in the role will be enrolling beneficiaries at public clinics.
Field Officers are hired full-time and work at clinics throughout Jigawa, Katsina, and Zamfara State and must already be based/reside in one of the following towns:
Jigawa

Context:
Over the past years, Nigeria has considerably expanded the availability of vaccination services for infants. Despite this progress on the supply side, demand for vaccinations remains relatively low. New Incentives encourage mothers to fully vaccinate their infants with cash transfers and thereby ensures their babies are protected against deadly diseases. The cash transfers allow the mothers to afford transport to the clinic and compensate them for lost income.
