Organization: AF_NGA Nigeria
Schedule: Full-time

Purpose of the Position
Nigeria has experienced over the past few years several large outbreaks of emerging and reemerging infectious pathogens like Lassa fever, Cerebrospinal Meningitis and Monkeypox. As a follow up to country risk profiling of infectious hazards and vulnerability risk assessment and mapping (VRAM) conducted in July with multiple stakeholders including the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), Nigeria Meteorological Agency (NIMET), data collection was done on the hazards identified nationally. This is a necessary step towards developing an all-hazards plan which is critical to identifying resources, priority interventions, and mitigation that contribute to the reduction of morbidity and mortality in populations at risk in the states.
The report of the VRAM data collection exercise is critical to the development of the National multi-hazard emergency preparedness plan which will take into account all existing contingency plans, reports and surveys. To this end the NCDC has requested the services of a consultant to compile, analyze the data and produce a report of data collection during the VRAM exercise using collected data and conducting in-depth detailed review into historic data and review of available research and reports of incidents in the country to develop a background and formulate recommendations for policy makers.
