Terms of Reference (ToR)

Consultant for Training of Trainers (ToT) Capacity Building on IPC, Advocacy, Communication & Social Mobilization (ACSM)

CHIP has received funding from GAVI to implement a project focused on “Reaching Unreached Children” with the goal of improving immunization coverage through enhanced demand generation strategies in the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK).

As part of this initiative, CHIP is organizing a 3-day Training of Trainers (ToT) aimed at building the capacity of key stakeholders and project staff. The objective of this ToT is to equip participants with the necessary skills and knowledge to further train and support frontline health workers particularly vaccinators and Lady Health Visitors (LHVs) in targeted districts including Peshawar, Khyber, Bannu, Lakki Marwat, and Dera Ismail Khan.

The ToT will focus on strengthening participants' understanding and application of Interpersonal Communication (IPC), Advocacy, Communication, and Social Mobilization (ACSM). These components are critical for improving community engagement, addressing vaccine hesitancy, and ultimately increasing the uptake of routine immunization services.

By enhancing the capacities of those involved in health service delivery at the Union Council (UC) level, this training aims to ensure more effective communication between health workers and communities thereby promoting positive behavior change and improving overall health outcomes for children in underserved areas.
