Mission Description
Blue square and EUP FASS KOCC, with support from Give Well, are implementing a program to strengthen immunization coverage across 7 health zones in Kasaï Province, Democratic Republic of Congo, aimed at achieving a sustainable reduction in the number of zero-dose children. Kasaï has one of the highest rates of zero-dose children in the DRC (34% for Penta 1 according to the 2023 ECV survey).

The program targets an increase of at least 10% in immunization coverage across 7 target health zones (Kalonda Ouest, Kamonia, Kamwesha, Kanzala, Luebo, Ndjoko Mpunda, and Tshikapa), covering approximately 2.3 million inhabitants and 80,000 births per year.

The approach combines six intervention modalities (community tracing and monitoring, extended opening hours at fixed sites, new fixed sites, advanced strategy, mobile strategy, and demand-side financing), implemented via Performance-Based Financing (contracting) with local health facilities.

Blue square, as Lead of the Consortium, provides the digital layer of the program and its expertise in EPI (Expanded Programme on Immunization) monitoring: targeting, continuous tracking of activities, and payment verification are built on digital platforms. To achieve this, Blue square leverages tools such as vaccination cards with QR codes, geolocated sessions, and data integration with the SNIS (National Health Information System), Mashako 3.0, and cold chain monitoring.

EUP FASS KOCC serves as the operational arm of the program, holding responsibility for the actual execution of field activities, which it delegates to health facilities through performance contracts that it negotiates, verifies on the ground, and validates. EUP FASS KOCC brings over 15 years of field presence and performance-based contracting experience in the province.

• Start Date: October 2026
• Duration: 6 months, renewable (overall project duration: 3 years)
• Location: Tshikapa, Kasaï, DRC, with regular travel to the 7 target health zones
• Team: Blue square is a company of over 90 people distributed across several countries and organized into project and technical segment teams. Our Kinshasa team currently consists of 7 people. We value autonomy, flexibility, communication, and teamwork.

The role of the Technical Assistant is to support the implementation of the immunization program across the 7 health zones in Kasaï and ensure the satisfaction of the Ministry of Health, EUP FASS, and Give Well, in collaboration with the Country Lead and the Project Manager.
