Background

Saving Lives and Livelihoods (SLL) is an Africa-wide partnership between
MasterCard Foundation, the Africa CDC, all African Union (AU) Member States
and a number of Africa-based implementing partners, including Project HOPE
Namibia (PHN). SLL aims to increase African Union (AU) Member States' COVID-‎19
vaccination capacity by helping to establish new or bolster existing COVID-‎19
Vaccination Centers (CVCs) in African countries, thereby achieving ‎60%
vaccination coverage among eligible populations. Project HOPE Namibia (PHN)'s
North Africa Saving Lives and Livelihoods (NASLL) project component supports
the provision of training, additional health workers and supplies to operate
fixed CVCs and mobile outreach vaccination teams. PHN and its partners will
work with MoHs and existing CVC managers to create surge staffing plans for
each CVC and mobile outreach team, train health worker cadres of and in, the
process, boost national EPI (Expanded Program of Immunization)'s capabilities
to administer vaccines while ensuring adequate data collection, monitoring,
tracking, information systems (including electronic health information
systems) as well as the necessary tools for data collection, analysis and
reporting are in place. NASLL's three-year project agreement was signed 1st
October ‎2022 and provides funding of approximately USD ‎17.9 million over the
life of the project. The NASLL's Project Management Unit (PMU) is based in
Cairo, Egypt, with remote participation by key staff from PHN's Windhoek,
