Chi tiết công việc
Organization Overview:
New Incentives – All Babies are Equal (NI-ABAE) implements evidence-based programming to save lives in a manner that does the most good per dollar. We have been providing small cash incentives to caregivers in northern Nigeria in order to increase vaccination rates since 2017.
NI-ABAE works in over 2,900 clinics throughout Katsina, Jigawa, Zamfara, Bauchi, Sokoto, and Gombe states. When caregivers bring their infant in for their routine immunizations at a government clinic, we provide a small cash incentive (between ₦500 and ₦2,000) and information about their next immunization visit. A randomized control trial has shown that the program doubles the rate of fully vaccinated infants in areas where it operates.
