NGO PRESENTATION

Handicap International is an independent and impartial international aid organisation working in situations of poverty and exclusion, conflict and disaster. Working alongside persons with disabilities and other vulnerable groups, our action and testimony are focused on responding to their essential needs, improving their living conditions and promoting respect for their dignity and their fundamental rights.

• Humanitarian Action Division
• Development Action Division
  For more details on the association: http://www.handicap-international.org

MISSION CONTEXT

Yemen has been for long the poorest country in the Arab world. After the Arab Spring in 2011 the humanitarian crises have intensified as one of the major humanitarian crises at the moment since 2012 with almost half of the population being food insecure. That created an increasing unrest among the population and discontentment with the government.

During the summer of 2014 the Shia minority group, called Houthis has taken control of several important cities, among them the capital Sana’a in September. Meanwhile the Southern separatist movement increased their call for an independent south while Al Qaida and linked groups (mainly based in the Eastern parts of the country) are fighting Houthis and other groups.

In January 2015, the Houthis did overthrow the President Hadi and its government, forced to leave the country from Aden and exile in Saudi in February, taking virtually control of almost all Yemen.. Since end of March, an international coalition of Sunni countries (Decisive Storm Coalition) led by Saudi Arabia allied with the Yemeni President still recognised by the International Community, and backed by western countries, has launched a military campaign against the advances of the Houthis in the country. Aden has been taken back by the government forces in July, after four months of war but militias and jihadist groups have grown in the instability and the town is sinking into chaos. The government, affiliated groups and the Saudi-Led Coalition (SLC) have gradually regained territories in all directions towards Sana’a, the capital being clearly their objective and massive airstrikes have targeted the country and Sana’a in particular.
Humanitarian truces have been decided twice in July 2015 but not respected. The same situation occurred end of 2015, the ceasefire was only technical but this time allowed peace talks from December 15th to 20th and due to resume mid-January 2016. However since the end of December SLC offensive has intensified and truce was declared ended. An escalation of violence is presently giving little hope for a long term cease of hostilities that could permit humanitarian assistance to reach a maximum of the 82 % of the population in dire need of support.

The mission will be directly link with the Humanitarian Action Division.

1.Nature of Consultancy:

All forms of malnutrition persist in Papua New Guinea (PNG); for instance, more than four in ten children present with stunting (short for age). Wasting, in the same population, is determined at more than 10% (HIES 2009/10). Malnutrition has persisted for decades. Unfortunately, malnourished children have a high risk of contracting infections, thus, increases the incidence, severity, and duration of common childhood diseases, such as diarrhea, acute respiratory infections, and measles; diseases that start from communities. Worst, the malnourished risk death. Cumulatively, Pediatric reports show that more than 2,000 malnourished children have died in less than half a decade, regrettably, challenging efforts for improved child survival. Many would have already died in communities, due to ignorance about the problem or even lacking access to necessary specialized care. Any survivors live with permanent damages, which follow through generations. Yet, at community level, malnutrition is largely preventable. Moreover, children with wasting form of malnutrition can easily endure if they receive timely treatment and rehabilitation. The community has a major role in both preventing the problem occurring, or even timely identification and referral for appropriate treatment and care.

PNG’s SAM management protocol for use by health workers was updated to be aligned with 2013 WHO standards. Training in management of SAM has been done for nearly 100 health workers in 15 provincial hospitals in the past one year. A cascade approach has started at provincial level, in Madang and Simbu, with plans to roll out to lower health facilities at district level. Collectively, the trained health workers are currently implementing SAM management in their respective provinces, and in two of them, up to district level. The services benefit both hospitalized cases as well as outpatients. Doing so brings the identification and treatment of SAM as close to the community as possible, reducing hospital treatment costs; facilitating early identification before reaching the worst stages, and increasing treatment adherence due to addressing transport, geographical and financial and security barriers to utilization of the services. We are yet to gain pace, with SAM management service demand, but importantly, reaching the most unreachable communities. To do so, there is need to strengthen and scale up IMAM services while involving I/NGOs and VHVs/CBDs/CBOs. There is no doubt that PNG’s recurrent shocks, not limited to ongoing severe drought calls for acceleration of the integrated management of acute malnutrition (IMAM) scale up plans. Thus, the consultancy seeks to;

· Reinforce and scale up IMAM services with Health System Strengthening (HSS). This requires means that Provincial Health Authority must be engaged / actively involved in the process,

· Conduct ToTs, face to face trainings, on-the-job mentorships, supportive supervision and mentorship, hence, technical capacities to be strengthened at all levels of the health system, and at community level,

· Link IMAM and infant and young child feeding (IYCF). Lessons learned from the ongoing experience in the two provinces where IMAM services are starting/ already available /decentralized to be used to inform scale up plan in other districts/provinces.

2.Purpose of Consultancy/Institutional Agreement:

To support Papua New Guinea’s Provincial Health Authority to ensure that district health centers and communities have the capacity to detect and treat acute malnutrition among children under-five. The consultant, while working with Family Health coordinator and or Nutrition focal persons, where they exist, shall ensure that staff are trained and supervised, commodities and supplies for therapeutic feeding are available, data capture and record keeping is clear, and that VHVs/CBDs/CBOs are equally trained and supervised*.* Further, that there is well coordinated strengthened and linked services.

The assessments shall be two-fold; bottleneck analysis (with all the stakeholders involved in IMAM services. Secondly, conduct assessments in provinces where the scale up will take place to identify additional health facilities where to establish the services and foresee gaps.

i. Expand the existing hospital SAM protocol, to detail a community approach of managing the problem, and build capacity for a strong National pool of trainers.

ii. In the six provinces, lead the National ToTs, to conduct face-to-face trainings of IMAM and perform mentorships to kick-start the integration of community management of acute malnutrition (CMAM). After the face-to-face trainings are carried out, closely support establishment of IMAM services, then conduct on-the-job coaching, and provide ongoing joint supportive supervisions.

iii. In the six provinces, in all implementing institutions, collate monthly data, to inform service uptake and intervention outcomes. An integrated supervision, performance and information management system needs to be designed and put in place so it is sustained beyond the consultancy period.
