The aim of this consultancy is to provide appropriate and timely health interventions to respond to needs of survivors of Gender-Based Violence (GBV) in Ethiopia. Based in Addis Ababa, and under the supervision of the Emergency Team Lead, the GBV Consultant will conduct scoping missions to identify gaps/needs, identify timely and appropriate GBV health interventions and implement activities in-country to strengthen WHO’s and the Health Cluster’s interventions on GBV.
Support from the U.S. State Department’s Bureau for Population, Refugees and Migration for the past six years has allowed WHO to make considerable progress towards institutionalizing the response to GBV within its global, regional, and country-based emergency work. Key accomplishments include:
Output 1: Review and Development of a Comprehensive GBViE Action Plan.
Activity 1.1. Convene a workshop with Health Cluster partners to review the scoping mission findings and recommendations. This collaborative effort will inform the development or enhancement of a comprehensive action plan that addresses identified gaps and leverages existing strengths.
Activity 1.2. Engage partners in finalizing and validating the GBViE action plan, ensuring it includes clear objectives, timelines, and responsibilities, focusing on critical needs such as service delivery, capacity building, and resource mobilization.
Output 2: Strengthening Partner Engagement and Coordination.
Activity 2.1. Facilitate ongoing partner engagement within the Health Cluster and with government entities to enhance collaboration and support for GBViE operations.
Activity 2.2. Actively support fundraising efforts by engaging with international donors and partners to secure and leverage funding for GBViE initiatives, including participation in discussions with donors, contributing to strategic donor presentations, and engaging in proposal writing like the CERF.
Activity 2.3. Collaborate with colleagues, such as working with Bella on the Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) initiatives, to ensure alignment of resources and objectives.
Output 3: Technical Working Groups and Policy Development.
Activity 3.1: Reactivate the Clinical Management of Rape (CMR) Technical Working Group, which has been inactive for several months. This will involve coordinating regular meetings, reviewing and updating the Terms of Reference (TOR) and workplan, and aligning the group’s work with current humanitarian needs.
Activity 3.2: Provide technical support for the development and review of critical policies, including the Sexual Violence Management Protocol and training manuals for Health Extension Workers (HEWs). This support will also extend to legal and justice initiatives, such as developing Special Procedures and Special Provisions Manuals in collaboration with the Ministry of Justice and the Regional Bureau of Justice.
Output 4: Data Collection, Monitoring, and Evidence Generation.
Activity 4.1: Compile a database of trained health workers in CMR and first-line support, and design a service map to track the deployment of these workers in relation to GBV cases reported. This will also serve as a reference for supervision and mentoring programs.
Activity 4.2: Strengthen data collection, documentation, and reporting mechanisms to ensure GBViE achievements are consistently included in weekly and monthly humanitarian reports and on the WHO Emergency Preparedness and Response (EPR) dashboard.
Output 5: Technical Support for One-Stop Centers (OSCs).
Activity 5.1: Provide technical and operational support for the ongoing country-wide assessment of OSCs, evaluating the availability of standard service packages, infrastructure, and supplies.
Activity 5.2: Utilize the assessment findings to develop site-specific support plans, revise Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and initiate capacity-building initiatives to enhance service delivery at OSCs with a focus on services within the WHO mandate.
