PURPOSE OF CONSULTANCY
Organization: Department of Evidence and Intelligence for Action in Health (EIH) and PAHO technical teams for immunization, health analysis, and digital transformation.
Background
The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) supports countries of the Region of the Americas in strengthening immunization systems, epidemiological surveillance, identification of coverage gaps, and planning of interventions aimed at populations with limited access to health services.
The project seeks to identify where children who have not received the first dose of measles vaccine are concentrated (zero-dose children for measles). This information will serve as the basis for designing and implementing a cloud-based solution to support geospatial microplanning of vaccination campaigns, enabling the integration of coverage, population, health facility, priority territory, access barrier, and campaign operational results data.
Strengthening measles vaccination requires tools that can detect and prioritize territories with subnational gaps, transform fragmented data into actionable information, and support national and subnational teams in planning routes, resources, monitoring, and evaluation. The planned solution must be prepared to operate in a secure, scalable, and sustainable institutional environment, with capabilities for data ingestion, geospatial processing, APIs, authentication, traceability, monitoring, and cloud deployment.
To advance this component, PAHO requires a consultant specialized in backend architecture and cloud computing, capable of designing the technical architecture, configuring core cloud and backend components, defining integration requirements, and establishing a secure basis for further development of the vaccination campaign microplanning platform.
Purpose
Design, document, and implement the backend and cloud computing architecture for a geospatial vaccination campaign microplanning solution aimed at identifying and prioritizing areas with children who have not received the first dose of measles vaccine.
Ensure that the proposed solution is modular, scalable, secure, traceable, and interoperable with institutional data sources, including vaccination coverage, population, administrative boundaries, health facilities, operational routes, and other inputs required for microplanning.
