Organization: Management Sciences for Health
Country: Sierra Leone
Closing date: 20 Feb 2015

OVERVIEW:

The Leadership, Management and Governance Project (LMG) is a global five-year Cooperative Agreement awarded by USAID/Washington, designed to strengthen and expand the people-centered capacity building strategy pioneered under the previous Leadership, Management, and Sustainability Program. The LMG Project’s objective is to support health systems strengthening by addressing the gap in leadership, management and governance capacity of policy makers, health care providers and program managers to implement quality health services at all levels of the health system.

Malaria is one of the number one causes of morbidity and mortality among children under 5 in Sierra Leone. The Global Fund is one of the main donors for malaria control in Sierra Leone – a majority of international health development funding in Sierra Leone is directed into HIV and AIDS programs as a priority.

The National Malaria Control Program (NMCP) is the Principal Recipient of the Global Fund malaria grant and manages implementation of the dual-track financing scheme along with the second Principal Recipient, Catholic Relief Services (CRS). Global Fund commitments and disbursements in Sierra Leone account for just over 25% of Global Fund financing, with the majority (over 66%) going towards HIV and AIDS activities. While the disbursements and commitments are on track for the CRS malaria grant, the NMCP grant has consistently had performance issues and low expenditures that have blocked continued funding to the budgeted commitment level.

The President’s Malaria Initiative will provide direct technical assistance to the NMCP through the LMG/Sierra Leone project to improve Global Fund grant implementation and generally provide technical support in the areas of leadership, management and governance to strengthen the national malaria control strategy and implementation.

OVERALL RESPONSBILITIES:

The Senior Technical Advisor, Malaria Program/Global Fund Liaison position is designed to provide technical assistance to the country, specifically to the NMCP, in meeting the grant management and implementation demands of the Global Fund malaria grant.

The incumbent will be placed at the NMCP and will provide leadership and management support to the NMCP Program Coordinator. S/he will assist the Malaria Coordinator in planning, monitoring and coordinating activities, especially the upcoming mass distribution campaign.

The incumbent will work in collaboration with the local stakeholders to ensure that up-to-date and strategic information on malaria activities are shared and disseminated among donors for prompt and appropriate decision making.

National Project Coordinator (NOB)

Supporting Smooth Reintegration of Returnees and Improved Management of Labour Migration in Ethiopia

Background of the Project

The forced repatriation of some 163,000 Ethiopian migrants from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), combined with a significant number of reported cases of abuse and mistreatment of migrants and a temporary ban on low-skilled migrant workers going to the Middle East and Sudan introduced by the Government of Ethiopia (GoE) in 2013, have put migration at the forefront of Ethiopia's agenda. Returnees often face severe difficulties upon return, in particular in terms of obtaining and/or creating alternative decent livelihood opportunities, and especially in a situation of mass return as recently experienced. As a consequence, unless adequate support is provided to reintegrate the returnees, a large proportion might choose to re-migrate, putting them at risk of becoming victims of re-trafficking and exploitation.

La Croix-Rouge du Tchad (CRT) et la Croix-Rouge française (CRf) sont en relation depuis les années 70, et travaillent en partenariat au Tchad de manière permanente depuis 1998. La CRf s’est impliquée à travers ce partenariat sur la ville de Moundou (sud du pays) depuis novembre 2004 dans le domaine de l’eau, de l’assainissement, de l’hygiène, et depuis 2010 dans le Sahel (région du Batha) afin de répondre à la crise nutritionnelle en premier lieu.

En 2014, la CRf mène plusieurs projets en partenariat étroit avec la CRT :• Régions du Logone Occidental et du Mandoul (Sud) : projet Eau et Assainissement financé par l’Union Européenne dans 20 villages et un quartier périphérique de la ville de Moundou.• Région du Batha (centre, zone sub-sahélienne) : « Prise en charge de la malnutrition aiguë globale et renforcement des structures de santé dans la région du Batha », financé par l’Union européenne (DG ECHO).• « Amélioration de la santé maternelle et néo-natale » dans 4 pays du Sahel dont le Batha, financé par l’AFD et la CRH.• « Structuration de services socio-économiques et de renforcement de la résilience des populations rurales du Batha Est et Ouest », financé par l’Union européenne.Relations avec la Croix-Rouge du Tchad (CRT) :

Depuis 2006, la CRf s’est engagée dans un processus de renforcement des capacités de la CRT et d’implication croissante de celle-ci dans les processus décisionnels et opérationnels. Depuis 2010 la CRF est fortement impliquée dans le développement des départements, nutrition, santé communautaire (y compris Eau-Hygiène-Assainissement) et sécurité alimentaire. La coopération avec la CRT est très étroite et avancée tant au niveau régional qu’au niveau national.

Programme :Prise en charge de la malnutrition aiguë dans le Batha A la suite de la crise nutritionnelle au Sahel, des moyens ont été mobilisés afin de combattre la malnutrition aigüe des enfants de moins de 5 ans mais aussi d’inciter à une réflexion plus large sur la situation humanitaire au Sahel. L’enquête SMART réalisée par l’UNICEF dans le Batha en 2010a révélé un taux de malnutrition globale de 21 % dans le Batha entrainant en conséquence un taux excessif de mortalité infantile. Afin de répondre à cette situation de crise, la CRF a développé en 2010 un programme de prise en charge de la malnutrition aiguë intégré au sein des structures sanitaires des districts d’Ati et Oum Hadjer. Cette intervention a pour objectif de prendre en charge les cas de malnutrition aiguë modéré/sévère et leurs pathologies associées. La CRf apporte son assistance technique à la Croix-Rouge du Tchad et à la délégation sanitaire régionale du Batha. En 2014, l’appui a été étendu au département du Fitri, et couvre ainsi désormais les 3 districts sanitaires de la région du Batha, soit 3 hôpitaux et 36 centres de santé.

Les activités principales sont :• Prise en charge globale de la malnutrition : 36 Centres Nutritionnels Ambulatoires, 36 Centres Nutritionnels Supplémentaires, 3 Centres Nutritionnels Thérapeutiques• Dépistage dans les communautés, référencement, • Sensibilisation et promotion de l’hygiène dans les CDS et les communautés• Renforcement de la qualité de la prise en charge des soins de santé primaire : vaccination, paludisme, IRA, maladies diarrhéiques, CPN.• Aménagement des CDS : meilleur accès à l’eau et à l’assainissement…• Appui à la délégation régionale sanitaire du Batha concernant la veille épidémiologique

Amélioration de la santé maternelle et néo-natale dans la région du BathaLe projet santé maternelle et néo-natale est financé par l’Agence Française de Développement dans 4 pays du Sahel dont le Tchad, avec un appui de la Croix-Rouge néerlandaise. Il est conduit conjointement par la Croix-Rouge du Tchad, la Croix-Rouge française et la Délégation Sanitaire Régionale du Batha dans 15 centres de santé et 2 hôpitaux des districts sanitaires d’Ati et d’Oum Hadjer. Il s’inscrit dans la feuille de route nationale pour l’accélération de la réduction de la mortalité maternelle, néo-natale et infantile au Tchad spécifiquement dans ses axes stratégiques numéro 2 et numéro 3 :• Amélioration de la disponibilité et de la qualité des services de santé maternelle, néonatale et infantile ;• Promotion de l’utilisation des services de santé maternelle, néonatale et infantile.Sécurité alimentaire dans la région du Batha

La CRf / CRT a mis en œuvre entre mai 2011 et février 2014 un projet de sécurité alimentaire, financé par la délégation de l’Union européenne au Tchad dans le Batha Ouest. Les leçons acquises au cours de ce projet ont aidé à concevoir une nouvelle proposition de projet auprès du PADL-GRN, laquelle constitue un prolongement dans le temps et dans l’espace de certaines des activités de la première programmation. Ce programme de 2 ans, en attente de validation par le bailleur, doit débuter en avril 2014.
