Support digital awareness campaign on immunization in Tanzania

For 70 years, UNICEF has been working on the ground in 190 countries and territories to promote children's survival, protection and development. The world's largest provider of vaccines for developing countries, UNICEF supports child health and nutrition, good water and sanitation, quality basic education for all boys and girls, and the protection of children from violence, exploitation, and AIDS. UNICEF is funded entirely by the voluntary contributions of individuals, businesses, foundations and Governments.

World Immunization Week, celebrated annually during the last week of April, is a global initiative launched by the World Health Organization (WHO) aimed at promoting the importance of vaccination worldwide. This year’s campaign theme, “For every generation, vaccines work” promoting how vaccines have safely protected people, families, and communities for generations – and continue to safeguard our future. In this context, UNICEF Tanzania, in collaboration with UNV, is launching an online awareness campaign to strengthen vaccination coverage in Tanzania.

We are seeking 500 experienced and creative online volunteers to support our communication team in promoting our content aimed at informing and engaging the population on the benefits of vaccines and the importance of preventive vaccination in combating infectious diseases. Online volunteers will play a crucial role in disseminating awareness messages, informing the public about the importance of vaccination, and combating misinformation on social media. Through this campaign, UNICEF Tanzania aims to increase the reach of it’s content at the national level by mobilizing volunteers and thereby ensuring broader and more effective vaccination coverage. Online volunteers will receive the necessary guidance and resources to develop the campaign on social media, depending on needs and availability. Operational Guidelines for the Volunteers 1.
