Context and Background Mali has descended into an unprecedented humanitarian crisis since January 2012 following the insurgency by the National Movement for the liberation for the Azawad (MNLA), an organization fighting to make Azawad (Northern Mali) an independent homeland for the Tuareg people. MNLA, initially supported by Islamist groups ? the biggest being Ansar Dine - took advantage of a military coup in Bamako to take control, over a few days in April 2012, of the 3 Northern regions (Timbuktu, Kidal and Gao). By July 2012, Ansar Dine and other Islamist groups had routed the MNLA and effectively taken control of the North leading to massive population displacements with 227,206 IDPs within Mali and a total of 140,000 refugees in neighbouring countries (Burkina Faso, Niger and Mauritania). The conflict and ensuing displacement has severely disrupted an already stretched and underfunded health Malie system both in areas directly affected by the conflict (North and Central regions) and in IDP host areas (including Bamako).

Given reports that humanitarian health needs in the North and Centre of the country were not being met, Merlin dispatched an assessment mission to Mali to design a humanitarian response programme over the next few weeks. It is expected that funding for a health/nutrition response in Northern and/or Central Mali will be available from April 2013.

Merlin Mali
Context and Background Mali is one of the world?s poorest nations and is greatly affected by poverty, malnutrition, and inadequate hygiene and sanitation. Rated 175/187 by UNDP Health Development Index in 2011, Mali's health and development indicators rank among the worst in the world.

The total population in Mali according to the 2009 census was 14,528,662, with three quarters of the population (77%) living in rural areas. Slightly less than half of the population (46%) is below 15 years of age. The growth rate is 3.6 and the synthetic fertility index (average number of children per woman of childbearing age) is 6.4.

There are expected to be 3.5 million people affected by the food crisis in Mali during 2012. Although the country is familiar with food scarcity, this crisis presents unprecedented levels of food insecurity due to a mixture of poor rains in 2011, region-wide high food prices, and chronic vulnerability and poverty. The population is also still recovering from the 2010 food crisis. On the 29 November 2011 the Mali Government announced an Emergency Action Plan, due to the estimated 3.5 million people who will be affected by the food crisis in 2012, including 1.2 million people who are expected to be food insecure.

Mali is currently in the middle of a double crisis, with the Sahel food crisis affecting a large majority of the country located in the Sahelian belt and the increasing insecurity in the far north of the country which has recently been termed as a re-activation of the Tuareg rebellion. Mali is one of the least developed countries in the world, and as a result has a highly vulnerable population that has limited capacity to cope with one, let alone two simultaneous crises.

There has been considerable investment in the country over the last several years, and there are a number of development NGOs working in the country. Although there are frequent droughts and food insecure periods, as well as cholera outbreaks, these are generally small in scale and scope. However the current circumstances, compounded with the chronic levels of malnutrition and malaria, present unprecedented needs amongst the most vulnerable groups.

Following a desk review of the current information across the region, Merlin despatched an assessment team to Mali in February 2012. The team met with various key stakeholders working in the country (including government, UN agencies and NGOs), and identified priority needs and gaps in the existing humanitarian response.

A project has since been designed and funding is in the process of being secured to allow Merlin to immediately implement a nutrition response using a CMAM approach with a basic health care package. The project will involve a range of activities which target the most vulnerable groups (children, PLW, elderly, disabled etc) to give them access to essential live-saving health services.

Merlin?s current strategy for Mali is based on a six months emergency response, followed by a longer term development programme, centred on a close collaboration with the Ministry of Health, aiming to progressively provide them with sustainable support.

Main purpose of the role The Health Coordinator employed by Merlin will be responsible at project level for leading the effective implementation of quality health and Nutrition Programmes, grounded in best practice in response to acute and longer-term health needs.

Introduction:

Health Partners International of Canada (HPIC) is partnering with the Afghan Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) in order to build the capacity of the national government and to improve access to vital pharmaceuticals and medical supplies for the population through the Capacity Building and Access to Medicines (CBAM) project. The goal of the CBAM project is to support the MoPH of Afghanistan to effectively ensure greater and more equitable access to priority pharmaceuticals and medical supplies for all Afghans with a specific emphasis on women and children. The five specific areas of intervention are: medicines donations; MoPH pharmaceutical donations office (PDO); MoPH Central Medical Stores (CMS); MoPH drug quality control laboratory (QC Lab); and an assessment of the national pharmaceutical manufacturing industry. These five areas represent the different components within the national pharmaceutical management system and are a clear illustration of the interrelated nature of pharmaceutical management.

Throughout the project it is essential that gender priorities are considered and concretely integrated in the CBAM project. For this reason, HPIC is seeking a consultant to conduct gender and work place policy training for project staff, management and staff of all five project components (hereafter referred to as ?project partners?) of the CBAM project in Kabul. The project partners have already had one introductory gender training course in June 2012. HPIC is seeking to build on the success of this previous training by organizing another training that will further explore how gender equity can be promoted throughout various departments within the MoPH. The objective of the proposed course is to work with various departments and offices within the MoPH (the PDO, CMS and QC Lab) to discuss and strategize concrete actions and steps that may be taken to promote gender equity in their workplaces and within the communities that they serve. The training topics may include developing gender aware Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and work place health and safety policies. This new training is to begin August, 2013 with a week of preparing training materials, harmonizing them and translating them with HPIC staff in Montreal and Kabul. Then the training will be conducted over a 5 day period in Kabul, with sessions for staff and management from each project component and finally 10 days will be at the end to prepare a report on trainings, including # of participants (disaggregated by gender), topics covered, responsiveness, and recommendations for next steps and policies to put into place.

Goals and Objectives:

The GOAL of the Gender and Workplace Policy training is to provide project staff and partners with knowledge and skills to be able to develop SOPS and workplace policies that are beneficial to both genders and the process of developing SOPs and policies has the contribution of both genders from the workplace.

1. Research, develop and design training materials for the gender and workplace policy training in coordination with HPIC staff and in accordance with cultural sensitivities and international best-practices;

oAll training will follow the applicable international best practices and standards, with particular attention given to those by the World Health Organization (WHO). It should also be noted that the CBAM project follows the gender mainstreaming and implementation guidelines and terminology provided by the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA); these should also be followed.

oConsultant will meet with relevant staff at the PDO, CMS and QC Lab before the training takes place. The objective of these meetings will be to understand the operating environments, the work, and potentials for gender mainstreaming in each unique setting.

1. Deliver 3 one-day training sessions for CBAM project partners including representative from three MoPH project components: the PDO, the CMS, and the QC Lab. The training sessions will have the following purposes:

oTo ensure practical skills and capacities to identify and address gender issues in daily work and the workplace are gained, including but not limited to the following suggested topics:

?The incorporation of gender equity in the workplace, and task distribution
?The provision of training to males and female at similar and differing levels of authority
?Developing and implementing SOPs that are gender sensitive
?Human resource policies that are up to international standards
?Workplace health and safety as it relates to gender
?Afghan legislation on gender and the workplace

1. Provide a post-training report on both training sessions to summarize the activities used, content provided in the gender training as well as lessons learned and recommendations for further learning and growth.
