Background Kenya has made significant progress in reducing morbidity and mortality from vaccine-preventable diseases through sustained investment in immunization and the introduction of new and underutilized vaccines. As the country advances its Universal Health Coverage (UHC) agenda and implementation of the Immunization Agenda 2030 (IA2030), there is a need to ensure that immunization investments remain evidence-based, equitable, financially sustainable, and responsive to the country's evolving disease burden and public health priorities. The current immunization landscape is characterized by an expanding range of available vaccines, increasing demands on domestic and external resources, and the need to maximize health impact within a constrained fiscal environment. Under the Gavi 6.0 strategy, financing arrangements have shifted to a consolidated grant model, providing countries with a single vaccine budget and a unified grant mechanism. The emphasis is on strengthening country-led prioritization, optimizing vaccine portfolios, improving programmatic and financial sustainability, and ensuring that vaccine investments deliver the greatest public health benefit while reaching zero-dose and underserved populations. Gavi 6.0 specifically promotes stronger prioritization and optimization of countries' vaccine portfolios to support sustainable and equitable immunization programmes. Against this backdrop, the Ministry of Health (MoH), through the National Vaccines and Immunization Programme (NVIP), with technical support from the World Health Organization (WHO) and partners, will undertake a Vaccine Portfolio Optimization and Prioritization (VPOP) exercise. The exercise will provide a structured and transparent framework to evaluate current and potential vaccine investments against agreed criteria, including public health impact, equity, value for money, affordability, programmatic feasibility, and long-term sustainability. The outcomes will inform strategic vaccine investment decisions, support effective allocation of resources, and strengthen the resilience and sustainability of Kenya's immunization programme. To support this process, WHO seeks to recruit a consultant to provide technical leadership and operational support to Ministry of Health in the planning, implementation, facilitation, analysis, and documentation of the VPOP exercise, and to support the development of evidence-based recommendations for future immunization policy and investment decisions in Kenya. ****2.**** ****Deliverables**** Outline clear tasks and deliverables, to be carried out in the framework of the background described above.
