The purpose of this consultancy is to lead the development of a high-quality, evidence-based, and Gavi 6.0 holistic application for 2026–2030, for Solomon Islands. Working closely with the Ministry of Health and Medical Services (MHMS), UNICEF, WHO, and Gavi Alliance partners, the international consultant will act as the lead technical advisor, guiding the Full Portfolio Planning process with a strong focus on prioritization of investments, addressing equity gaps—including zero-dose children—and ensuring that proposed strategies are realistic and implementable within the country context, as well, in line with Gavi 6.0 requirements. The international consultant will be supported by a national consultant and will guide the overall process, while leveraging dedicated in-country technical, analytical, and coordination support to ensure the application is informed by reliable data, grounded in operational realities, and appropriately contextualized to the Solomon Islands setting. This includes guiding and facilitating stakeholder engagement, integrating country-specific insights, and ensuring effective coordination, review, and validation in line with Gavi’s FPP approach. The consultant will receive a technical debrief from UNICEF Centre of Excellence (CoE) on the Gavi 6.0 application process, including Vaccine Portfolio Optimisation and Prioritisation (VPOP) and cash prioritization approaches, to ensure alignment with global guidance and expected standards.
