Titre de la consultation : Evaluation des Interventions à Base Communautaire (IBC) dans les régions de la Kara et des Savanes. Cette évaluation porte sur deux composantes complémentaires de
la santé de l’Enfant: la prise en charge communautaire des
maladies les plus fréquentes de l’Enfant et l’ATPC

Type de contrat : Contrat institutionnel (international) Durée de travail : 50 jours ouvrables en Juillet/Août 2013

Date de clôture : 10 juin 2013

Programme & projet : Survie et Développement de l’Enfant

Contexte et justification de la consultation

Dans le cadre de la mise en œuvre du Plan Stratégique des Interventions à Base Communautaire, le Ministère de la santé du Togo, avec l’appui de l’Unicef et d’autres partenaires a élaboré les documents de prise en charge intégrée des maladies de l’enfant notamment la prise en charge des IRA, de la diarrhée et du paludisme et de la malnutrition en vue de renforcer les compétences des Agents de Santé Communautaires. A cet effet, après la formation des formateurs, 960 ASC et des superviseurs ont été formés en 2011 et 2012 dans les régions de Kara et Savanes au Nord du Togo pour la prise en charge du paludisme, de Toux/ Rhume, diarrhée et malnutrition. Ces ASC ont été équipés en matériels et intrants pour la mise en œuvre des Interventions à Base Communautaire(IBC). La plupart des ASCs identifies par les communautés menaient déjà certaines actions au niveau communautaire appuyées par des partenaires divers. La supervision des ASC est mensuelle. Elle est faite par les agents de santé de l’Unité de Soins Périphériques (USP) et du District ou d’autres personnes ressources. Pour mener à bien leurs tâches, un superviseur qui assure d’autres tâches dans le district a en charge 5 ASC et un superviseur recruté uniquement pour la supervision a en charge 20 à 25 ASC (PROVONAT, programme de volontariat national au Togo). Des résultats intéressants ont été obtenus après 2 ans de mise en œuvre des interventions à base communautaire même s’ils ne sont pas vraiment documentés, les communautés couvertes semblent assez satisfaites de l’offre de service. Malgré ces bons résultats des insuffisances existent dans la gestion et la mise en œuvre des services. Parmi les problèmes, on note une insuffisance de supervision et de coordination des interventions, des ruptures fréquentes d’intrants, un mécanisme de motivation des ASC qui n’encourage pas nécessairement de meilleures performances, une sélection de villages trop proches des structures sanitaires etc. Certains problèmes ont été soulevés lors des échanges nationaux sur les IBC en 2012. A ce jour, on ne dispose pas de données nationales sur la cartographie des ASC. Enfin, si l’implication des ASC contribue à l’atteinte de résultats programmatiques, les stratégies d’appui aux ASC ne garantissent pas leur pérennité Afin de consolider les acquis, il est nécessaire de faire une évaluation à mi-parcours des IBC dans les 2 régions du Nord du Togo.

Dans les mêmes communautés, UNICEF appuie le gouvernement pour la mise en œuvre des activités de l’Assainissement Total Piloté par les Communautés. 100 villages ont été déclaré FDAL à ce jour. Dans 1) une perspective d’extension de cette intervention et 2) la mise en œuvre d’un paquet complet pour la lutte contre la malnutrition chronique et les maladies diarrhéiques il est essentiel de capturer les éléments qui ont facilites ces villages à obtenir le statut FDAL et les éléments nécessaires pour entretenir ce statut.

I. Objectifs de l’évaluation

L'évaluation à mi-parcours, fournira au gouvernement, aux parties prenantes et aux partenaires des recommandations basées sur des évidences a) pour renforcer les actions de santé à base communautaire en tenant compte de leur acceptabilité par les communautés , de leur cout efficacité et de leur critères de pérennisation b) pour définir les éléments de succès de l’ATPC en vue de les promouvoir dans d’autres communautés.

a. apprécier globalement les résultats des IBC qui misent à faciliter l’accès géographique et financier a un paquet minimum d’activités préventives et curatives à haut impact pour contribuer à la réduction de la malnutrition et de la mortalité chez les moins de cinq ans.

Plus spécifiquement, l’évaluation doit permettre d’apprécier les goulots d’étranglements de l’offre et de la demande pour les différentes interventions – le paquet des interventions à base communautaires préventives (activités promotionnelle de nutrition, PEV etc..) et curatives (prise en charge de la malnutrition aigüe, du paludisme, des infections respiratoires des voies basse, de la diarrhée) ; d’identifier les causes directes et indirectes et de les adresser dans les recommandations. Pour des raisons de cohérence, la consultation utilisera les outils de Tanahashi (aussi utilise pour le MBB) pour l’analyse des goulots d’étranglements.
Au niveau de la gestion des interventions à base communautaire, la consultation aura à apprécier leur place dans les différents outils de planification, de monitoring évaluation et de gestion en général.

b. tirer les principaux enseignements de l'ATPC dans les villages qui l’ont mis en œuvre avec succès avec au besoin une comparaison avec les villages qui ont été « déclenchés » mais n’ont pas ou peu adhéré.

II. Méthodologie de l’évaluation

L’équipe retenue pour conduire l’évaluation présentera aux parties prenantes leur méthodologie qui comprendra au moins: • Une revue documentaire et analyse des données quantitatives disponibles ; • Entretiens individuels et focus group • Visites et Enquête de terrain • Méthodes participatives de collecte et d’analyse de données.
