Achieving Health Nigeria Initiative (AHNi) is an indigenous non-governmental organization that promotes socio-economic development by supporting a broad range of global health interventions, education, and economic initiatives in Nigeria. AHNi is an organization with robust interest in advancing the collective goals of the people and communities served. AHNi currently has its headquarters in Abuja, Nigeria.

Achieving Health Nigeria Initiative (AHNi) is proposing to implement an 18-month GAVI-supported Routine Immunization (RI) and Primary Health Care (PHC) Integration Project in 11 priority Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Kaduna State. The project aims to strengthen equitable access to quality RI and integrated PHC services, particularly for underserved and vulnerable populations, through community-driven and health systems strengthening approaches.

The intervention will be implemented in collaboration with Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) and other stakeholders to improve immunization coverage, reduce the number of zero-dose and under-immunized children, strengthen community engagement and accountability, enhance health workforce capacity, improve data-driven decision-making, and support efficient supply chain systems for sustainable service delivery.

The project aligns with national and state priorities on PHC revitalization, immunization equity, and health system strengthening, with the overall goal of improving maternal, newborn, child health, and immunization outcomes in Kaduna State.

To strengthen our operations and interventions in the country, we are seeking qualified candidates for the following position:
