| Description du poste |
| HelpAge International (HelpAge) is a network of not-for-profit organization with a mission to work with and for disadvantaged older people worldwide to achieve a lasting improvement in the quality of their lives. In Africa, HelpAge implements its programmes through its network of 33 partner organizations and affiliates with support from two regional offices one in Nairobi (EWCA) and the other one in Pretoria (SAF). HelpAge International helps older people claim their rights, challenge discrimination and overcome poverty, so that they can lead dignified, secure, active and healthy lives. To achieve this, HelpAge work is driven by five global action areas that fed into HelpAge 2015 strategy. These global actions include (1) enable older men and women to have secure incomes (2) enable older men and women and those they support to receive quality health, HIV and care services (3) enable older men and women to actively participate in and be better supported during emergency and recovery situations (4) build global and local movements that enable older men and women to challenge age discrimination and claim their rights and (5)support a growing global network of organization to work effectively with and for older men and women. The “Better Health for Older People in Africa programme” is aimed at achieving global action 2. About the “Better Health for Older People in Africa” Programme In July 2014, HelpAge received funding from DFID to implement a three year programme running from July 2014 – June 2017. The programme is implemented in Ethiopia, Tanzania, Mozambique and Zimbabwe. The programme goal is to improve access to health and care services for poor older women and men and their households in 4 African countries, making them less vulnerable to illness and worsening poverty. By the end of the programme, it is envisaged that older people will have access to age-appropriate health, HIV and care services, and to social entitlements that will better enable them to meet their health needs. The programme will also improve accountability of service providers and policy makers locally and nationally. The programme has the following outcome and outputs: Outcome: 387,763 older people (60% female, 40% male) in the 4 countries in Africa have age-appropriate health and HIV services Output1: Training curricula/manuals developed and 1,718 Health Staff trained on age-appropriate health and HIV services Output2: 1,425 Care workers are trained and older people receive community and home-based care Output3: Technical and policy support for greater access to social protection and health entitlements Output 4: Older People trained to monitor and advocate locally for access to health, HIV and care services and entitlements Output 5: HIV and SP policies/strategies in the four countries and within the region include recommendations made by the programme The strategies adopted by the project to achieve the above results include: · Health service capacity: Training health staff in age-friendly services and developing training curricula and materials, in line with national policies. · Community and Home Care: Promote age-appropriate home-based and community-based care approaches to reach older people. · Older citizen’s monitoring (OCM) and advocating for change: Training and supporting older people to monitor the delivery of health care and access to entitlements such as free or reduced-cost health care and medicines. · Policy Support for social protection and health entitlements: Better Health will provide technical support to governments on social protection and entitlements for older people. · Building evidence and advocacy: Collect and evidence from countries to advocate for older people’s rights in health and social protection Purpose of the Consultancy The purpose of the baseline is to assess the pre-interventional situation in regards to specific areas of programme focus as represented in the results framework.
