Evidence Action Baseline Assessment Consultancy for Immunization Demand Generation in Nasarawa and Oyo States

Evidence Action Nigeria Immunization Demand Generation Tender 2026: Public Health Baseline Research Consultancy

INTRODUCTION

Evidence Action, a high-impact global non-profit organization renowned for scaling cost-effective, evidence-based development programs to improve health and livelihoods for hundreds of millions of people, officially issued a competitive Request for Proposals (RFP) on 08 September 2026 seeking an accredited research consulting firm or health evaluation consortium to execute a comprehensive 'Baseline Assessment for Immunization Demand Generation' across Nasarawa and Oyo States, Nigeria.

Routine childhood immunization remains one of the most cost-effective global health interventions; however, in Nigeria, vaccine uptake is constrained by complex behavioral, structural, and cultural barriers—including caregiver vaccine hesitancy, clinic accessibility challenges, stockout misperceptions, and gendered intra-household decision-making dynamics. Under its innovative Immunization Demand Generation program, Evidence Action is testing targeted behavioral nudge interventions, community health worker engagement models, and conditional incentives to dramatically increase completion rates for early childhood vaccine schedules (BCG, Pentavalent, Measles, and Yellow Fever).
