Key stakeholders
WISH Programme Hub
Mozambique Member Association – AMODEFA
In partnership with UK Department for International Development (DFID), IPPF is currently implementing the Women’s Integrated Sexual Health (WISH) flagship family planning programme to deliver 20% of the UK’s Family Planning global commitments. With a value of over £200 million over three years, the programme’s service delivery budget is set to deliver an additional 2.8m – 4.1m family planning users by end 2020. In working across Africa and Asia to provide a comprehensive package of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), the programme has a primary focus on increasing the number of additional Family Planning (FP) users alongside reducing maternal mortality and improving access to safe abortion. The priority populations include youth and some of the poorest and marginalised in society.
The purpose of the consultancy is to contribute to the social and behaviour change communication component of the project which aims to work closely with community health workers (CHWs). The CHWs are currently working with IPPF Member Associations as a part of the WISH programme. The capacity of member associations of partner countries varies greatly within the country.
The strategy needs to focus heavily on how CHWs work within Mozambique to address these challenges.
The WISH project seeks the services of a consultant to support the process of developing a SBCC strategy which aims to:
