Consultancy for Review of Community Self Financing

The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), Sierra Leone Country Office, invites applications from interested person for the above mentioned consultancy in the Social Policy, Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation Section.

Purpose:-There are a number of different community initiatives in Sierra Leone that bring people together to raise funds and support livelihoods, education, healthcare and other community needs for children and their families. There is a need for a better understanding how these initiatives can be brought to scale in a sustainable manner to empower families and communities in caring for their children.

Location: - Freetown, Sierra Leone

Duration: - 5 weeks

Estimated Start Date: - 15 November, 2013

Overview:-High levels of poverty make it difficult for majority of people in Sierra Leone to spare funds for activities beyond basic food consumption. The population in absolute poverty is about 52.9 per cent and that in extreme poverty stands at 13.9 per cent. It is therefore very difficult for people in Sierra Leone to have extra money to use on important things such as education, healthcare, nutritious food, safe water, improved sanitation and maintenance of facilities. High borrowing costs, collapse of extended family safety nets, absence of social protection for poor and vulnerable people make it virtually impossible to access capital and diversify income generating sources. Self-help can therefore be an important strategy for communities to support their own initiatives for better livelihoods, health care, protection and education of their children.

Objectives:-The objectives of the consultancy will be to:(a) Map and analyse the performance of all main forms of community financing and self-help in Sierra Leone;(b) Study the enabling policy framework for community financing in Sierra Leone;(c) Determine obstacles to the development of community financing and self-help in Sierra Leone, including comparisons with other countries and international best practice.(d) Develop a framework for supporting the organisational development, leadership, financial literacy, resource mobilisation and effectiveness of community financing initiatives.(e) Suggest ways of increasing awareness on benefits of community financing and self-help.(f) Recommend how, given their respective mandates and comparative advantages, UNICEF, other development partners and Government can support community financing innovations.(g) Recommend policy actions that are necessary to create a better enabling environment for community financing and self-help in Sierra Leone.

Methodology and Tasks:-This consultants will analyze data, engage with communities, civil society, private sector, development partners and Government to ascertain how community self-help and financing initiatives can be strengthened in Sierra Leone to help poor and vulnerable people to improve their livelihoods.

Existing community financing initiatives such as the Village Savings and Loan Associations (VSLAs), Wi Pikin Groups, Empowerment and Livelihoods for Adolescent Girls (ELA),

Other service-based initiatives such as the Performance-Based Financing (PBF) and incentive schemes such as the Improving Schooling in Sierra Leone (ISIS) programme should also be analyzed to examine how they can provide synergies and be used as stepping stones for community based financing schemes.

Deliverables:-An inception report will be prepared at the outset outlining how tasks required in the consultancy shall be carried out. Secondary data will then be assembled and an outline of existing community financing initiatives and the policy environment prepared. A comprehensive report including an executive summary, background, analysis, conclusions and recommendations comprehensively addressing all objectives of the study outlined in (3) above will be delivered to the satisfaction of UNICEF on time as specified below.

Development of Kombra Tok Curriculum and Toolkits - Freetown INGO Urban WASH Consortium

Background to the ProjectThe Freetown INGO Urban WASH Consortium is made up of five INGOs: Action Contre la Faim (ACF), Concern Worldwide, GOAL Ireland, Oxfam and Save the Children International. The Consortium is currently being funded by DFID for a two year period from May 2013 to April 2015. Since April 2013 the Consortium has undertaken formative research to determine the specific health behaviours, target groups and approaches for hygiene promotion over the next two years.Based on this research, the Consortium plans to establish ‘Kombra Tok’ groups. These groups follow the criteria and rational of the Care Group approach and will address the six identified behaviors, which are as follows:

1. Care givers of under 5s wash their hands with soap and water at the five critical times each day
2. Care givers of under 5s only give their children (6–59 months old) treated water to drink
3. Care givers of under 5s give their child ORS immediately after bloody diarrhoea and/or three or more loose stools in a 24 hour period
4. Care givers of under 5s bring their child to a health centre for treatment after bloody diarrhoea and/or three or more loose stools in a 24 hour period
5. Care givers of under 5s construct a handwashing station within their homes
6. Care givers of under 5s store their household drinking water in jerry cans

The objective of this project is to develop the curriculum and tool kits required for the implementation of the ‘Kombra Tok’ approach. The poject deiverables will be developed in consultation with the technical advisor of the Consortium Coordination Unit and should include:Curriculum for training of trainers (ToT); Training manual for Kombra leaders; Toolkit for Kombra Tok; and Training of ToT and testing of the ToT manual.All training curriculums should be in lesson plan format, use the principles of adult education and reference should be made to the Food for the Hungry CareGroups. The topics and approaches developed should use the results of the formative research and only consider the specific behaviours listed above. This research will be shared with the success candidate.

Final date for submission of deliverable will be 17th of January 2014.

Experience requiredExperience in developing curriculum and toolkits for health behaviour programs, together with a University degree in a WASH-related or Public Health field. Whilst experience of work in West Africa, preferably Sierra Leone, would be an advantage, you should also have significant experience as a behaviour change specialist in health promotional programming in either an advisor or consultant capacity and ractical experience in implementing and assessing the CareGroup approach.Strong communication and report writing skills with excellent English language are essential.

BACKGROUNDAbout Health Poverty Action (HPA)Health Poverty Action’s vision is a world in which the poorest and most marginalised enjoy their right to health.

Health Poverty Action started working in Sierra Leone in 2005. In keeping with our mission of reaching the most marginalised, we have delivered a number of successful maternal heath and gender equality projects in Northern Bombali covering areas such as Tambaka chiefdom, one of most remote and marginalised communities in the country.

Our interventions have included provision of ambulances, training of health staff and a large component on community education. Our work in Sierra Leone is innovative using our understanding of local culture and norms to adapt tried and tested models to the Sierra Leone context.Our work in Northern Bombali complements that of the Government of Sierra Leone, and other partners and has had huge proven impact; knowledge of maternal and child health has sky rocketed and Northern Bombali stands out as one area in the country where SGBV survivors are able to access justice.

We specialise in the fundamental connection between health and poverty. These two are inseparable. Yet so often they are addressed in isolation, as if health was the responsibility only of the health sector. An unhealthy population has little chance of working its way of poverty, and families struggling to survive in extreme poverty have almost no chance of sustaining good health. But if the two are tackled together, in an integrated way, this fundamental link becomes a powerful positive. Improving health works to eradicate poverty, and vice versa. The multiple determinants of health and poverty such as gender equality, education, nutrition, safe water and proper sanitation and shelter must be tackled holistically to bring sustainable change.

Prioritising the poorest and most marginalisedMuch of Health Poverty Action’s distinctiveness derives from the priority we give to those whose health rights have been most neglected. Development efforts often tend to cluster in particular areas, leaving others almost untouched. Prioritising the poorest and most marginalised means we have become particularly skilled at working in hard to reach areas, and with marginalised populations such as ethnic minorities. We attach great value to the precious relationships we have developed with communities who have learnt through bitter experience to trust few others. While working with those most neglected frequently leads us to rural areas, we also work in large cities and urban areas. We know there are marginalised people there too.

Action – what we do

Health Poverty Action conducts a wide range of activities each year to strengthen poor and marginalised people in their struggle for health. These are in four broad categories:• Development Programmes in 13 countriesWe work with communities in 13 countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America to identify and address the primary factors limiting their right to health. These areas include, but are not limited to, health system strengthening, disease control, health education, harmful traditional practices and gender issues, income generation, food security and nutrition, and water and sanitation. Each year, through these programmes, we are able to help tens of millions of the poorest people in the world improve their health.• Influencing the policy and practice of othersWe steadfastly refuse to accept that because there are so many poor and marginalised people in the world that some must be expendable, and that the right to health can therefore not be for all. We will never accept that. At the same time, we know the scale is so great that we will never be able to meet the need through the size of our own programmes alone. We therefore believe addressing the policies and practices of others is vitally important – analysing what needs to change, devising creative alternatives, and using our influence to bring those changes about.
• Responding to emergenciesThose with few resources and little support are extremely vulnerable at times of particular hardship – maybe an ongoing problem that has reached crisis proportions, or maybe a sudden disaster of some kind. At such times we work with those affected to respond to these emergencies. We always remember that emergencies are not identified by what is given profile in the global media, but by the experience of those affected by particular crises (most of which are never reported). We also know that for the poor and marginalised, emergencies are not discreet events, but one additional factor they face in an ongoing struggle for health and well-being. We help them mobilise all possible resources for urgent response – and do this as an integrated contribution to their ongoing development work.
• Providing consultancy and other contracted servicesThe expertise, resources and relationships of Health Poverty Action mean we are in a position to provide a wide variety of valuable services to others in exchange for a fee. These services can provide important benefits for the poor as well as generating income, and all profits are ploughed back into developing our work.

UNFPA funded obstetric fistula prevention project

A Fistula is a permanent abnormal passageway between two organs in the body or between an organ and the exterior of the body. Obstetric fistula is the most devastating and serious of all childbirth injuries. It happens when a woman gives birth without appropriate medical help. Usually after enduring days of agonizing, obstructed labour, a woman's body is literally broken by childbirth. During labour contractions, the baby's head is constantly pushing against the mother’s pelvic bone - causing tissue to die due to lack of blood flow to this area. All of that pushing creates a hole, or in medical terms a "fistula", between the birth passage and an internal organ such as the bladder or rectum. Because of this hole the woman cannot hold her urine, and sometimes her bowel content as well and so becomes incontinent. Many fistula sufferers are young girls.

A woman with fistula is likely to be rejected by her husband because of her foul smell and her inability to bear more children. She is usually shunned by her community and forced to live in isolation. These women suffer profound psychological trauma resulting from their utter loss of status and dignity, in addition to suffering constantly from their physical internal injury. To compound it all the woman usually loses her baby in birth process.

Building upon HPA’s previous work addressing maternal health through community based training and sensitisation, this project extends HPAs work to two new districts- Koinadugu and Kambia. Through intense sensitisation and active search, HPA trained volunteers find women with Fistula in the remote villages and refer them to Aberdeen Women’s Centre (AWC), and West Africa Fistula Foundation (WAAF) where FREE operations are provided for the women

These areas include, but are not limited to, health system strengthening, disease control, health education, harmful traditional practices and gender issues, income generation, food security and nutrition, and water and sanitation. Each year, through these programmes, we are able to help tens of millions of the poorest people in the world improve their health.

• Influencing the policy and practice of othersWe steadfastly refuse to accept that because there are so many poor and marginalised people in the world that some must be expendable, and that the right to health can therefore not be for all. We will never accept that. At the same time, we know the scale is so great that we will never be able to meet the need through the size of our own programmes alone. We therefore believe addressing the policies and practices of others is vitally important – analysing what needs to change, devising creative alternatives, and using our influence to bring those changes about.
• Responding to emergenciesThose with few resources and little support are extremely vulnerable at times of particular hardship – maybe an ongoing problem that has reached crisis proportions, or maybe a sudden disaster of some kind. At such times we work with those affected to respond to these emergencies. We always remember that emergencies are not identified by what is given profile in the global media, but by the experience of those affected by particular crises (most of which are never reported). We also know that for the poor and marginalised, emergencies are not discreet events, but one additional factor they face in an ongoing struggle for health and well-being. We help them mobilise all possible resources for urgent response – and do this as an integrated contribution to their ongoing development work.
• Providing consultancy and other contracted services The expertise, resources and relationships of Health Poverty Action mean we are in a position to provide a wide variety of valuable services to others in exchange for a fee. These services can provide important benefits for the poor as well as generating income, and all profits are ploughed back into developing our work.

UNFPA-funded obstetric fistula prevention projectA Fistula is a permanent abnormal passageway between two organs in the body or between an organ and the exterior of the body.

Obstetric fistula is the most devastating and serious of all childbirth injuries. It happens when a woman gives birth without appropriate medical help. Usually after enduring days of agonizing, obstructed labour, a woman's body is literally broken by childbirth. During labour contractions, the baby's head is constantly pushing against the mother’s pelvic bone - causing tissue to die due to lack of blood flow to this area. All of that pushing creates a hole, or in medical terms a "fistula", between the birth passage and an internal organ such as the bladder or rectum. Because of this hole the woman cannot hold her urine, and sometimes her bowel content as well and so becomes incontinent. Many fistula sufferers are young girls.

A woman with fistula is likely to be rejected by her husband because of her foul smell and her inability to bear more children. She is usually shunned by her community and forced to live in isolation. These women suffer profound psychological trauma resulting from their utter loss of status and dignity, in addition to suffering constantly from their physical internal injury. To compound it all the woman usually loses her baby in birth process.Building upon HPA’s previous work addressing maternal health through community based training and sensitisation, this project extends HPAs work to two new districts- Koinadugu and Kambia. Through intense sensitisation and active search, HPA trained volunteers find women with Fistula in the remote villages and refer them to Aberdeen Women’s Centre (AWC), and West Africa Fistula Foundation (WAAF) where FREE operations are provided for the women
