RFP from UNICEF on the costs of inaction to reach zero dose and under vaccinated children in Kosovo

Estimating costs of inaction to reach zero dose and under vaccinated children in Kosovo

Deadline for applications is 22 January 2026.

UNICEF have released a request for proposals for 3 month contract providing technical assistance for estimating costs of inaction to reach zero dose and under vaccinated children in Kosovo. The objectives for this project are:

• Estimate the impact and costs of inaction, both in terms of health, educational, social outcomes and economic implications, resulting from not fully vaccinating children in the target countries.
• Highlight the positive financial implications of immunization by demonstrating the potential cost savings and economic benefits of fully vaccinating children and communities.
• Develop evidence-based recommendations for accelerating the reduction of zero-dose and under-vaccinated children, aligned with the Immunization Agenda 2030 and country-specific immunization strategies. The recommendations should address financial sustainability and propose solutions for overcoming budgetary and financial challenges.
