Organization Overview:

NI-ABAE is an evidence-based organization that aims to provide incentives to increase childhood vaccination rates and save lives in the most cost-effective way. While caregivers and infants remain our top priority, our operations are guided by accountability, integrity, and a commitment to excellence.

Job Summary

New Incentives implements the All Babies program, which incentivizes caregivers of infants to complete Nigeria’s routine immunization schedule by providing a small cash transfer after each vaccine is administered. New Incentives currently operates in 11 Northern states in Nigeria, where childhood immunization rates are extremely low.
