Description

The Field Managers will support 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 to supervise the work of our Field Volunteers at select public health facilities.

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 encourages 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.
