Libya: WatSan

Organization: MSF - Holland
Country: Libya
Closing date: 14 Dec 2016

WatSan

General context

MSF Operational Center Amsterdam (OCA)

Médecins Sans Frontières is an international independent medical-humanitarian organization, which offers assistance to populations in distress, to victims of natural or man-made disasters and to victims of armed conflict, without discrimination and irrespective of race, religion, creed or political affiliation. The MSF movement is built around five operational directorates supported by 21 sections and offices worldwide.

Our actions are guided by medical ethics and the principles of neutrality and impartiality.

Context Tripoli

With a population of 1.8 million people, Tripoli is the biggest city in Libya. Since the beginning of the civil war in 2011 until now, the city has been in constant decline. Ongoing conflict, lack of legitimate governance, criminality, and a massive population migration have led to the collapse of law and order, social services and the healthcare system, the latter suffering from a lack of supplies, HR, and maintenance of essential medical equipment. Adding to the general instability of the country, Libya is a convergence point for human smuggling and trafficking, in attempt to get across the Mediterranean to Europe. People caught in these movements are the most vulnerable – victims of violence, extortion, forced labour, and deliberate neglect of basic needs. MSF-OCA is currently working in several detention facilities, housing refugees/migrants who have been detained for various reasons within different structures around Tripoli. Conditions in the centers are below standard and water, sanitation and hygiene (WHS) are key areas needing improvement to benefit the health of the detainees and ensure a more dignified time in custody. The effects of the WHS standards in the Detention Centres are directly linked with disease and illness amongst detainees. MSF provides basic medical care, provides Non Food Items (NFIs), carries out distributions, refers critical cases to hospital and will implement Mental health activities outside of the Detention Centres( DC’s).

Job Dimension

The WatSan is Responsible for conducting and following up on assessments in the DC’s. Interventions include appropriate improvements in water quantity and quality and improvement of the general hygiene conditions as well as some aspects of infection control in the health care project. Solutions to some of the problems will, more than likely, require good problem solving skills and a strong sense of prioritisation in difficult circumstances.

Place within the organization

  • Hierarchically accountable to the Medical Coordinator and functionally to the Logistics Coordinator.

Main Responsibilities

  • Conduct assessments (in collaboration with medical teams if appropriate), identifying the Water Hygiene and Sanitation (WHS) needs and present findings and possible/appropriate responses or solutions,

  • Present, plan and implement interventions to improve WatSan related conditions for detainees,

  • Participate in developing proposals and planning of interventions in line with the overall project/mission strategy,

  • Carry out direct implementation of planned activities with, if necessary, hands-on approach and/or direct supervision of works contracts,

  • Engage local authorities or other non-governmental actors (when present) with the objective of providing better humanitarian assistance to the beneficiaries at the level of WHS,

  • Plan and organize the purchasing of required materials and equipment, in order to ensure appropriate technical specifications, stock management and timely deliveries;

  • Supervise any local staff engaged in the WHS/WatSan activities and train them and any other staff as necessary,

  • Link health data from the medical clinics and interventions with the WHS intervention in close collaboration with the medical team,

  • Provide up-to-date reports giving an overview of achievements, plans and constraints.

Requirements

Experience

  • Academic background in engineering or an equivalent relevant training preferred;

  • A good command of English (minimum level C1) and a second language (French, Arabic. A good understanding of Arabic is a big plus);

  • At least 2 years work experience in a development, emergency or post-conflict setting, in WatSan interventions;

  • Strong project management skills;

  • Organized and detail oriented, with an ability to multi-task;

  • Must be able to function effectively in a fluid, loosely structured, but complex work environment and to set appropriate priorities and deal effectively with numerous simultaneous requirements.

Competencies

  • Leadership;

  • Security awareness and management;

  • Networking & Building Relationships;

  • Cross Cultural awareness.

Conditions

  • Location: Tripoli, Libya

  • Minimum commitment: 9 months

  • Annual gross salary: based on MSF-OCA Reward Policy

  • Housing and other secondary benefits based on MSF- OCA Frame for Network Units

Low quality educational among both boys and girls results lack of awareness about natural hazard risks surrounds their environment, and methods that how to mitigate or prevent emergencies, and lack of disaster preparedness planning at the community and district levels are the main pressing causes of community susceptibilities.

Cameroon: Senior Associate, Immunization Service Delivery

0
Organization: Clinton Health Access Initiative
Country: Cameroon
Closing date: 30 Dec 2016

Founded in 2002 by President William J. Clinton, the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) is a global health organization committed to strengthening integrated health systems around the world and expanding access to care and treatment for HIV/AIDS, malaria and other illnesses. Based on the premise that business oriented strategy can facilitate solutions to global health challenges, CHAI acts as a catalyst to mobilize new resources and optimize the impact of these resources to save lives, via improved organization of commodity markets and more effective local management. By working in association with governments and other NGO partners, CHAI is focused on large scale impact and, to date, CHAI has secured lower pricing agreements for treatment options in more than 70 countries. In addition, CHAI's teams are working side-by-side with over 30 governments to tackle many of the largest barriers to effective treatment and care.

CHAI started supporting Cameroon's Ministry of Public Health in 2007 to scale up pediatric and adult second-line anti-retroviral therapy, through donation of lifesaving ARVs and diagnostics; as well as technical assistance for improving the quality of ART and laboratory systems to support HIV care and treatment. In recent years, CHAI has expanded its support to the Ministry of Public Health to other areas including malaria diagnosis and helping to introduce more effective new treatment for severe malaria, improving access to family planning, point of care diagnostics and mobile health technology (mhealth), and technical support for the Ministry of Health's drive to sustainably fund healthcare. In early 2015, CHAI launched its vaccines program to apply the techniques it has used to successfully improve access to HIV/AIDS and malaria treatment in Cameroon to vaccines, one of the most cost-effective public health interventions. After focusing primarily on supporting new vaccine introduction and improving vaccine delivery supply chains, CHAI, in collaboration with Gavi now aim to address some of these barriers affecting RI in Cameroon

CHAI Vaccines is looking for a Senior Associate to develop and implement this program in Cameroon, with the vision of this program will be to assist the Government of Cameroon to reach its goal of routine immunization coverage for all children.

The successful candidate will have four primary areas of responsibility, which correspond to the four key objectives of the program;

Improve Routine Immunization, with a focus on improving coverage in big cities;

  • Identify the main drivers of low coverage in 13 target districts in the cities of Yaoundé and Douala and develop targeted interventions to address priority barriers to achieving target coverage;
  • Develop an urban immunization map, which clearly identifies and quantifies populations in high-risk urban areas, as well as all health facilities in the district and outreach sites.
  • Support target districts in these cities to develop evidence-based and costed district work plans;
  • Support PEV to leverage key immunization events (e.g. African Nutrition Week and African Vaccination Week) to deliver immunization services to hard-to-reach urban populations in Yaoundé and Douala
  • Support PEV and partners to coordinate and conduct regular monitoring of progress through reviews of monitoring charts, quarterly reviews and targeted supportive supervisions, relentlessly tracking the number of children left unimmunized.

Improve supportive supervision at national and subnational level;

  • Support PEV in planning and tracking quality supportive supervisions at the national and regional level and in target districts
  • Support PEV to develop a supportive supervision system. This will include establishing a cadre of well trained central, regional and district supervisors, developing robust tools (e.g. training materials, job aids, check lists, recording forms, SOPs, etc.) and methodologies for supportive supervision, and developing strategies for mobilizing the necessary resources for supportive supervisions (e.g. identifying areas for collaboration with other partners and program)
  • Set up a knowledge management system, which will facilitate onboarding of new staff
  • And support PEV to institute an internal mentoring system with well-established succession plans and well-structured workforce planning amongst others.
  • Work with PEV to use routine PEV data and data from the baseline assessment to plan priority supervision visits, developing high quality work plans and SOPs for supervising the poorest performing regions and districts identified in the baseline assessment.
  • Guide the core supervisors to implement priority supervision visits to identified target sites
  • Support PEV to determine how to best address key issues emerging from the supervision visits, and document and share best practices on supportive supervisions.

Provide technical assistance on EPI indicator generation and implementation as it relates to PBF

  • Provide technical assistance to EPI in the selection and costing of relevant PBF indicators for RI;
  • Work with partners to set up PBF taskforces in Douala and Yaounde, with clear terms of references;
  • Support EPI to develop tools and methodologies for PBF implementation
  • Provide appropriate follow-up to ensure the recommendations are well implemented and that indicators are piloted smoothly in Yaounde and Douala
  • Set up a monitoring and evaluation framework, and define payment modalities, amongst others.

Support the use of innovative technologies to reduce drop-out rate and ensure better surveillance

  • Take the lead in developing a project management dashboard for each region and target district to track various immunization outcomes;
  • Populate dashboard drawing information from from monthly reports from health facilities, ranking health facilities' performance based on of defined variables;
  • Share dashboards with national and regional PEV staff on a quarterly basis and facilitate an action-oriented discussion;
  • Use performance information to incentivize actions so as to enable PEV partners to focus their scare resources on low performing districts and facilities;
  • Support the Program Manager to identify and define CHAI's overall strategy within the program area, develop clear operational plans for execution, and continually identify opportunities for CHAI to add value and maximize impact
  • Collaborate with government to ensure skills transfer and government ownership, identify the most critical hurdles to scale-up, and develop innovative strategies to address them.
  • Liaise closely with technical partners in government to monitor and evaluate interventions against objectives and targets, bringing in technical expertise when needed to ensure rapid implementation

Liberia: Consultant - Costed Implementation Plan for Family Planning Liberia

Organization: Palladium International
Country: Liberia
Closing date: 15 Jan 2017

Project Overview and Role Health Policy Plus (HP+) is a USAID-funded five-year $185 million project awarded to Palladium (formerly Futures Group) on August 28, 2015. HP+ has a mandate across global, country, and subnational levels to strengthen and advance health policy priorities in family planning and reproductive health (FP/RH), HIV, and maternal health. It aims to improve the enabling environment for equitable and sustainable health services, supplies, and delivery systems through policy development and implementation, with an emphasis on voluntary, rights-based health programs, and by strengthening in-country partners' capacity to navigate complex environments for effective policy design, implementation, and financing aligned to their priorities. We carry forward proven approaches to preserve achievements. These approaches inform how we manage programs and engage with stakeholders, and tools and techniques improve decision making and the achievement of predetermined goals.

HP+ is supporting governments to attain the ambitious commitments they made at the London Summit through strengthening national capacity to develop country-owned, broad-based, national FP costed implementation plans (CIPs) aligned to FP2020 pledges. FP Costed Implementation Plans are concrete and detailed plans for achieving the goals of a national family planning program over a set number of years. A CIP details the program activities necessary to meet national goals and the costs associated with the activities, providing clear program-level information on the resources it needs to raise domestically and from partners. A CIP is critical to give direction to a national FP program. To ensure that a country's London Summit commitments are implemented, there needs to be a detailed plan of where they want to go and how they intend to get there. Activities with measureable performance indicators also need to be developed so countries can monitor their progress against their plan. HP+'s innovative approach to supporting the CIP process in countries leads to greater country ownership and aligns with ongoing government planning and coordination efforts within a relatively short development process.

  • Provide logistical and administrative support in planning for meetings, events, and travel;
  • Other related technical and administrative tasks as required
