Call for external consultants for the WHO European Region – with focus on measles and rubella elimination
The WHO Regional Committee for Europe and all Member States have committed to the goal of measles and rubella elimination and prevention of congenital rubella syndrome in the Region, with a target date of 2015. To fulfil this commitment, all countries will have to scale up efforts to achieve very high immunization coverage and population immunity, respond adequately to outbreaks, enhance surveillance and participate in the regional verification process. WHO/Europe intends to build a cadre of external consultants equipped with the necessary knowledge and tools to conduct in-country technical assistance missions, in collaboration with the technical team at the Regional Office in Copenhagen, in order to further progress toward measles and rubella elimination in the Region.
WHO/Europe is accepting letters of interest and curricula vitae (CVs) from individuals interested in serving in this role. A measles and rubella consultant training workshop will be held 1-3 September in Copenhagen, Denmark. Letters of interest and curricula vitae should be received by 15 August 2014.

provide assistance to improve timely and accurate completion of annual status reports (submitted annually by each country’s National Verification Committee to the European Regional Verification Commission for Measles and Rubella Elimination);
help identify barriers to vaccine uptake and communication needs; and
support the planning of targeted supplementary immunization activities to close immunity gaps in the population.
