Tender Details

Established in 1951, IOM is a Related Organization of the United Nations, and as the leading UN agency in the field of migration, works closely with governmental, intergovernmental and non-governmental partners. IOM is dedicated to promoting humane and orderly migration for the benefit of all. It does so by providing services and advice to governments and migrants.

Context:

Organizational Structure of IOM Migration Health Division:

IOM’s work in emergencies is guided by the Migration Crisis Operational Framework (MCOF), which was developed at the request of IOM Member States, pursuant to their growing interest in the migration consequences of crisis situations, and adopted during the 101st Session of the IOM Council in 2012. As one of the 15 sectors of assistance within the MCOF, health support is an integral part of IOM’s overall humanitarian response.

The IOM South Sudan Health Programme started in 2009. With the ongoing violence that started December 2013, IOM is increasing its emergency health response operations and where appropriate integrates health activities in multi-sectoral approaches (e.g. with Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), Shelter, Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM), Protection) in conflict affected sites, ensuring coordination as well as information sharing with respective government authorities as well as with the Health, CCCM, Shelter and Protection Cluster partners. Key IOM interventions to support the Government of South Sudan, the Ministry of Health and partners include the following but not limited to; enhancing access to primary healthcare services for Internal Displaced Peoples (IDPs) and affected communities particularly in hard-to-reach locations and those living in temporary shelters through static and mobile health clinics, support to recovery of local health systems through transition and post crisis phase, facilitating health referrals to hospitals or to partner agencies, provision of medicines and medical supplies as well as contributing to existing early warning and disease outbreak surveillance mechanisms.
