Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) Officer

📍 Nigeria · Remote · Abuja preferred

Looking for a meaningful remote opportunity where your data skills can contribute to better health outcomes for children? This MEL Officer role with Notify Health combines monitoring, evaluation, data quality, digitization, and process improvement.

About Notify Health

Notify Health is a start-up nonprofit with a big mission: to ensure all Nigerian children receive life-saving immunizations. Up to half of missed vaccinations happen simply because caregivers forget or don’t realize they need to return. The organization sends SMS and automated voice calls in over 10 Nigerian languages to help caregivers remember and track vital vaccination appointments.

Since being founded 2.5 years ago, Notify Health has sent immunization reminders to caregivers of over 50,000 children in three Nigerian states. Its solution uses existing government systems and Nigeria’s widespread mobile phone use.

In collaboration with local partners, the organization collects details such as a child’s name, birth date, and caregiver’s phone number, then sends timely, targeted immunization reminders through its mass messaging system.

Evidence from its pilot indicated that timely vaccination coverage was up to 24 percentage points higher for children whose parents received reminders. Notify Health has received support from GiveWell and Gavi.

The team is also exploring approaches including mobile vaccination outreach, OCR, WhatsApp chatbots, and geospatial data as it continues developing its model.
