The Strengthening Vaccine-Preventable Disease (VPD)–Polio Surveillance in India project aims to strengthen polio surveillance within the broader VPD surveillance framework by supporting India's transition towards a government-owned, integrated surveillance system under the Integrated Disease Surveillance Program (IDSP).

The project focuses on strengthening institutional capacity, surveillance systems, private-sector engagement, and community participation to improve early case detection, timely reporting, outbreak preparedness, and rapid response. The initiative will also generate scalable implementation models and learning for wider adoption across India.

The Senior Program Officer – VPD/Polio Surveillance will provide technical and programmatic support for implementation of the VPD–Polio Surveillance initiative. The position will support surveillance system strengthening, capacity building, outbreak preparedness and response, private-sector engagement, community-based surveillance, digital monitoring, and documentation of implementation learning.
