Organization: International Rescue Committee
Country: Liberia
Closing date: 25 Oct 2014

The International Rescue Committee, one of the world's largest humanitarian agencies, provides relief, rehabilitation and post-conflict reconstruction support to victims of natural disaster, oppression and violent conflict in 42 countries. The IRC is committed to bold leadership, innovation and creative partnerships. Active in public health, education, livelihoods, women's empowerment, youth development, and protection and promotion of rights, IRC assists people from harm to home.

The Ebola outbreak in West Africa is unprecedented in scale and in the response required. No previous outbreak has had as many confirmed cases, or as wide of a geographic spread. The situation is complicated by the porous nature of the regions' borders, inaccessibility of the terrain and the presence of multiple active sites of transmission. The outbreak in Liberia started in March 2014 and has rapidly spread due to pourous borders, insufficient contact tracing, community fears and misperceptions. The government has instituted a 90 state of emergency, has closed borders and deployed its military personnel to assist in the containment. To date, 498 cases have been either confirmed, probable or suspected, most of them originating from Lofa and Montserrado Counties.

Currently, the IRC response to the Ebola outbreak has included coordination and collaboration (with co-chairing of the Ebola intervention committee meetings in Zorzor and Salayea districts, providing technical advise to the Lofa County Ebola task force and supporting the Lofa County Health Team (Lofa CHT) in preparing contingency plans for the Ebola intervention activities), surveillance and contact tracing ( with provision of community health staff to Lofa CHT to lead and be part of the contact tracing teams, provision of gasoline to district health offices for case follow up as well as health information management), case management ( provision of medical staff to Lofa CHT to lead case management, training of health staff in Salayea, Zorzor, Voinjama and Kolahun districts, distribution of infection control materials and other medical supplies to 40 health facilities in Lofa County as well as fuel support for transportation of suspected and confirmed cases as well as for the burial team), as well as social mobilization and psychosocial support ( with community awareness raising and health education in health facilities in Salayea, Zorzor and Voinjama districts and provision of transport for awareness raising teams to visit various communities. IRC is expanding its Ebola prevention and response programming to both Grand Gedeh and Maryland Counties as a precautionary measure. Neither county has had Ebola cases but it is important that health workers are trained in the proper precautionary measures, that steps are taken to ensure adequate infection control at the clinic level, and that communities are aware how to reduce EVD risks and no what steps to take should EVD reach their communities.

SCOPE OF WORK: The Emergency Health Coordinator(s) (EHCs) will be the focal point for IRC's Ebola Response program inMaryland and Grand Gedeh Counties.
