Evidence Action's mission is to fill the gap between what is effective in global health and development and what is implemented at scale. One of our flagship programs is the Deworm the World Initiative, which envisions a world where all at-risk children have improved health, increased access to education and better livelihoods potential as a result of being free of intestinal worms. We are recruiting to fill the position below: Job Title: State Program Consultant - Deworm the World Initiative Location: Ibadan, Oyo state Nigeria; frequent trips to Abeokuta, Ogun State and occasional trips to Abuja and other domestic travel About Deworm the World Initiative - Nigeria Worm infections interfere with nutrient uptake; can lead to anaemia, malnourishment and impaired mental and physical development; and pose a serious threat to children’s health, education, and productivity later in life. Infected children are often too sick or tired to concentrate at school, or to attend at all. Parasitic worms exact an enormous toll on human capital, hindering schooling and economic development in parts of the world that can least afford it. The Deworm the World Initiative provides technical assistance to governments around the world to develop and implement large-scale school-based deworming programs. In 2017, Evidence Action began supporting the governments of Oyo and Ogun states to launch a school-based deworming program for STH and schistosomiasis as a part of the states’ integrated NTD control program. Evidence Action seeks an in-country program consultant to provide focused support to health and education personnel within the two state government teams in planning, launching, and sustaining Oyo and Ogun states’ new school-based deworming programs. Objectives and key activities of the consultancy are described below. Objective
