For every child, the right to care.

The Pacific Island Countries (PICs) have recently undertaken Effective Vaccine Management Assessments (EVMA) to evaluate the performance of their immunization supply chains. The findings provide valuable insights into strengths, gaps, and areas for improvement in cold chain and logistics management. To effectively communicate these results to stakeholders, partners, and decision-makers, there is a need to translate the assessment data into user-friendly, visually engaging, and concise infographic country profiles.

To this end, the services of a professional Graphic Designer are required to design and finalize the country supply chain infographics. 

How can you make a difference? 

The overall objective is to design high-quality, visually appealing country infographic profiles that summarize the immunization supply chain status in the PICs, based on EVMA findings. These profiles will serve as advocacy and reference tools for governments, partners, and donors. More specifically, the assignment includes:

• Developing a design template and layout for the country infographic profile.
• Creating data visualizations, icons, and graphics to highlight key findings from the EVMA assessments.
• Ensuring consistency of style, branding, and formatting across all country profiles.
• Incorporating feedback from technical teams and finalize products for dissemination.
