INTRODUCTION

This Terms of Reference describes the tasks for a mid-level consultant todocument fully the School Safety Assessment experiences in the selected countries. This will involve the consultant undertaking travel to at least one country in the each of the sub-regions (Central Asia and South Caucasus) as part of the UNICEF Regional DRR Initiative: Proposals for Documentation (RKLA 4).

BACKGROUND

There are no truly ‘natural’ disasters. In fact, while hazards such as storms and earthquakes are largely natural, the severity of their impact is determined by the vulnerability of the community they hit. Put simply, this means that the poorest and most vulnerable people, who often live in exposed areas such as marginal agricultural lands, river floodplains or informal urban slums, bear the brunt of drought, floods, earthquakes and other hazards, and are most likely to experience a disaster as a result. They are, as we say, at the greatest risk.

Women and children are 14 times more likely to die than men during a disaster. Children are especially vulnerable because of their stage of physical, psychological and social development. The risks they face from disasters include death and injury psychological trauma; diseases from malnutrition, dirty water and bad sanitation; interrupted or even lost education; and a worsening of already dangerous living conditions.

Climate change is further exacerbating disaster risks. It has been estimated that losses from weather-related disasters alone are doubling globally every 12 years ; and climate change impacts have been predicted to increase the numbers of children affected by disasters from an estimated 66.5 million per year in the late 1990s, to as many as 175 million per year in the coming decade .

Girls are particularly vulnerable, as they can be exposed to forms of exploitation, such as abuse, trafficking and prostitution, which can increase after disasters or in times of chronic crisis. Additionally, during crises, shortages of food and other vital goods and services can increase the burden on women and girls, who traditionally provide for their families’ everyday needs. For example, during drought, girls may have to walk many hours to fetch water, which may expose them to further threats.

Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) is one of the four emerging areas in the ten priorities identified under the Regional Knowledge and Leadership Agenda (RKLA), which aimed at responding to inequities in CEE/CIS facing the most marginalized children and to support governments in the region to close the equity gaps.

The purpose of the RKLA 9 on Disaster Risk Reduction is to support the identification, documentation and communication of key results and good experiences related to DRR.

School Safety Assessment is a major gap area as most countries in the region do not have an overview of the status of schools. Following the Recommendations of the 2009 Global Platform on Disaster Risk Reduction it was proposed that “by 2011 national assessment of the safety of existing education and health facilities should be undertaken, and that by 2015 concrete action plans for safer schools and hospitals should be developed and implemented in all disaster prone areas”. Under the Central Asia and South Caucasus DRR project 2010-2011 funded by DIPECHO, UNICEF developed a simple tool for structural and non-structural school safety assessments, geared towards promoting the school structural safety assessments in the region.

Since its development it has been tested in Armenia and Tajikistan and methodology and instrument were adjusted accordingly. At the same time Kyrgyzstan—with a funding support of USD 1 million from OFDA/USAID—has further elaborated the methodology and conducted a nationwide assessment of educational facilities in the country. The experience was presented at the Asian Ministerial Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction in October 2012. As part of the current DIPECHO project, all country offices (except for Kyrgyzstan due to the on-going nationwide assessment) are to use this methodology to assess structural and non-structural safety of schools covered by the project. PURPOSE

A consultant will be required to document experience of school safety assessment in the selected countries. This will involve the consultant undertaking travel to at least one country in the each of the sub-regions (Central Asia and South Caucasus).

Technical Assistance Development

Access for sex workers and their clients to SRHR services 1. Background Sex workers, both female and male, have the same Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights (SRHR) and needs as every other man and woman, irrespective of race, gender, religious or sexual orientation. Inclusive of these rights are the rights to HIV prevention, treatment and care. Generally it is expected that sex workers can and do access the same public and private health services for SRH and HIV as all others. However, the illegality of sex work in most African states and the high discrimination towards them(sex workers) from health service providers and the community they live in means that sex workers and their clients often feel reluctant to access health services that are not designed or targeted for them. This is further compounded by the unfavorable legislative environments towards sex-workers in many countries that sex-workers, their families and clients suffer. As a result and in spite of the high vulnerability of sex-workers and their clients to HIV, and other sexually transmitted infections, and their SRH needs the access to and uptake of SRH (inclusive of HIV) services is at public health facilities in particular could be improved. This is of particular concern in countries where the HIV epidemics have been classified as generalized epidemics or concentrated.

UNFPA is the lead agency to implement the mandate of the ICPD agenda , to promote and strengthen a human rights based SRH approach for countries to seek comprehensive SRHR for all individuals, including the right to information and access to treatment and care that meet the SRH needs of all individuals. At the policy, systems and service delivery levels, UNFPA supports governments, public and private partners, in advocacy, capacity building and the promotion of integrated SRH and HIV service access for all individuals including and not exclusive of sex workers. UNFPA is a UNAIDS co-sponsor and one convener in the area of reduction of the sexual transmission of infections(including HIV). Sex workers, their families and their clients are a key target group due to their vulnerability to HIV and their SRH needs.

Desk Review on SRH/HIV services in the context of sex work

All twenty-three countries within the geographical coverage of the Eastern and Southern UNFPA sub-regional office (including Zanzibar which was counted separately from mainland Tanzania for the purpose of this desk review) took part in the desk review and responded to the questionnaire(see below).

Following primordial analysis, outstanding questions were clarified as necessary. The results were analyzed thoroughly in a quantitative and qualitative manner and the findings and analysis was peer-reviewed and validated by colleagues and country offices. The obtained results provided an overview of the situation regarding access to SRHR and HIV- services of sex workers and their clients. This included information on access to services, partnership (government and NGO, legal environments and laws, challenges, intervention areas and technical assistance request.

Terms of Reference: Documentation of country experiences with reintegration and promising practices Required: Senior Consultant (7-10 yrs. experience) Duration: 30 days (maximum)

Purpose: The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) Regional Office for East and Southern Africa (ESARO) requires the services of a consultant to collect and analyze evidence on the situation of reintegration programming for women affected by fistula in East and Southern Africa. The outcome is to inform the development of the UNFPA ESARO Strategy for fistula prevention, treatment and reintegration.

Background: Everyday almost 800 women die from pregnancy related complications. More than half (56%) of these deaths occur in sub-Saharan Africa. For every one that dies, 20 or more are injured or disabled. One of the most serious injuries of childbearing is obstetric fistula, which is caused by prolonged /obstructed labor in the absence of adequate emergency obstetric care. A fistula is a hole in the birth canal created by prolonged pressure of the baby’s head against the pelvis. A woman with a fistula will continue to leak urine and/or feces uncontrollably for the rest of her life unless she is repaired by a trained health care provider. The consequence of this injury often includes ostracism, exclusion and some women are even abandoned by their husbands and excluded from basic interactions with their families and communities. Moreover, their social isolation makes it extremely difficult to maintain a source of income or support, worsening their poverty and magnifying their suffering. It estimated the 2-3 million women and girls are living with the condition and more than 50,000 new cases develop each year. However, Obstetric Fistula is preventable and, in most cases, can be surgically repaired.

Scope of Assignment: UNFPA has been the lead agency in the Campaign to End Fistula, launched in 2003 and it has been supporting interventions to prevent, treat and reintegrate women who suffer from fistula. Of the three interventions, reintegration programming is the least advanced. Reintegration for both women who have been repaired and women who are deemed incurable/inoperable is a complex topic. Literature about the issue of reintegration of fistula patients is sparse globally. It is commonly believed that all women with fistula are socially isolated, uneducated, economically disadvantaged and abandoned. But there is considerable debate about the generalization of these beliefs and the need for reintegration programming specifically targeting women affected by fistula. There is a need to have more information about the challenges and needs in the lives of women affected by fistula post-repair and for those deemed incurable/inoperable to inform appropriate programming to address the needs of these women and ensure comprehensive fistula service delivery.

UNFPA ESARO is developing a regional strategy for fistula and a programming framework with the intention of addressing the major barriers to prevention of fistula and improving access to treatment and reintegration to drastically reduce the burden of this morbidity in East and Southern Africa. Based on the findings and recommendations of the Mid Term Review of UNFPA’s role in the Campaign to End Fistula, much more work needs to be done in the area of reintegration with sharing of good practices and lessons learned to adequately address the needs. The ESARO seeks to identify key strategies and practices that align with national maternal health programs and that have the potential to substantially strengthen programming to improve interventions in reintegration.

Specific tasks: • Draft inception Report to be approved by the ESARO core team • Participate in the inception meeting in order to clarify the scope of the study • Review key documents such as Country Fistula Assessments, Mid Term Review of the Campaign to End Fistula (2010); UN report on fistula (2011); Campaign t to End Fistula Year in Review : Annual Report 2008; Maternal Health Thematic Fund Annual report 2011 and other key documents to assess the situation, trends and needs in the area of MNH and FP in the East and Southern Africa Region • Identify 3 case study countries and conduct site visits (approximately 3-4 days/country) to countries to document promising practices/approaches and develop case studies • Draft the Report and incorporate relevant comments from the ESARO core team • Draft case studies (Max 5 pages each) and incorporate relevant comments from the ESARO core team • Finalize the 2 key documents and present key findings to the ESARO staff. Deliverables • Report of the situation/trend analysis (Max 30 pages) • An analysis of the situation in 13 countries in the East and Southern Africa region, especially those receiving Maternal Health Thematic Funds with a clear identification of the needs, opportunities and gaps in reintegration programming. Countries include: Angola, Botswana, Burundi, DR Congo, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Kenya, Madagascar, Malawi, Rwanda, South Sudan, Uganda, Zambia • Recommendations for priority actions to be taken at regional level for support to countries in scaling up efforts to address the needs and gaps in terms of advocacy and policy dialogue/advice, knowledge management, capacity development, service delivery, and strategic partnership • Promising practice documentation: identify and document 3 case studies capturing promising practices/lessons learned in reintegration programming from 3 countries in the region based on a selection criteria determined by the ESARO (Max 5 pages each)

Time frame The assignment will be undertaken following time frame: • Inception report and country teleconferences - Max 5 days • Program site visits to 3 countries— Max 15 days • 1st Draft of the Situation and Trend Analysis Report and Case studies – Max 5 days • 2nd Draft of situational analysis and case studies with incorporated comments from the ESARO relevant staff - Max 2 days • Final report and final case studies– Max 3 days

Location:
• The consultancy involves desk work, which the consultant team is expected to deliver from their own work space • Travel to Johannesburg for the inception meeting/clarification meeting in the 1st stage of the consultancy and to 3 countries to capture in depth country experiences and promising practices/lessons learned (possible countries: DR Cong, Eritrea, Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, Zambia). • Additional Ad hoc travels to Johannesburg (ESARO) if needed or requested by the technical advisors.

Minimum qualifications
• Masters degree in public health, social sciences, international relations or similar • Extensive knowledge of maternal health issues, in East and Southern Africa • Previous experience in Obstetric Fistula programming/research an advantage • A minimum of 7-10 years experience in research, data collection and analysis; • Excellent writing skills
