Consultants - Integrated Management of Childhood Illnesses (IMCI) at Save the Children Nigeria

Posted on Thu 19th May, 2016 - hotnigerianjobs.com --- (0 comments)


Save the Children is a leading international organization helping children in need around the world. First established in the UK in 1919, separate national organizations have been set up in more than twenty-eight countries, sharing the aim of improving the lives of children through education, health care and economic opportunities, as well as emergency aid in cases of natural disasters, war and conflict.

In Nigeria, Save the Children has been working since 2001. The early focus was on getting children actively involved in shaping the decisions that affect their lives. Today, Save the Children is working in seven federal states - Zamfara, Yobe, Jigawa, Katsina, Kano, Bauchi and Kaduna - focusing on providing basic healthcare and protecting children.

We are recruiting to fill the position below:

Job Title: Terms of Reference for a Consultant to Conduct Integrated Management of Childhood Illnesses (IMCI) Training for Health Workers in Kaduna State

Location
: Kaduna

Background
The core intervention of Integrated Management of Childhood illness (IMCI) is the integrated management of the most important causes of mortalities among children- Pneumonia, malaria, diarrhoea, measles and malnutrition. In health facilities, IMCI strategy promotes identification of childhood illnesses in the outpatient settings and provision of appropriate treatment and referrals.

The training of health workers is a key component of integrated management of childhood illnesses (IMCI) strategy. However, the coverage of IMCI training still remains low in many countries including Nigeria. The baseline study carried out prior to the commencement of the HCB project in the three HCB project states affirmed this position.  As was presented in the baseline report[1], among 208 health facilities assessed, only 41% knew of IMCI as an intervention while only half have had the training. However, the coverage of health workers trained on IMCI still remains low in Nigeria. For us to achieve an appreciable level of IMCI coverage, more front line health workers have to be reached through IMCI trainings.

The implementation of IMCI involves three components:
  •  Improving the skills of health workers
  •  Improving the health system and
  •  Improving family and community practices
Objectives
  • To enhance the skills of health workers in tackling common childhood illnesses at the facility level.

Key Responsibilities and Duties of the Consultant

  • Conduct pre and post training evaluation of all trainees at the beginning of the training, and the end of training.
  • Compile and share the session/training evaluation and feedback report with the Save the Children team.
  • As the lead facilitator, compile a comprehensive training report in collaboration with the other facilitators. Specific emphasis should be on the training content, process, and linkages to capacity building strategies.
Key Responsibilities of the Co- Facilitators
  • Participate in the pre-training planning meeting and agree on agenda.
