Tender Details

Tenders are invited for State of Mental Health Care Provision in 5 Countries in Sub-Saharan Africa

The Pierre Fabre Foundation - (hereinafter the “FPF ”), recognized as a Public Utility in 1999, aims to enable the most disadvantaged populations to access quality care and medicines. In 2023, the FPF is leading 35 programs in 20 countries on five areas of intervention including dermatology which aims, on the one hand, to promote access to dermatological care through tele-expertise and, on the other hand, to improve holistic management of the needs of people with albinism (hereinafter “ PAA ”) through prevention, training and medical care programs, as well as the provision of educational scholarships and socio-strengthening economic.

These interventions are part of a dual approach: innovation thanks to its scientific and medical expertise, and sustainability via a partnership approach with local authorities and stakeholders. Since 2015, the FPF has become a recognized player on the theme of albinism both within the local associative fabric of PAAs on the African continent and among political authorities and international bodies which regularly request its contribution. The FPF and its local partners run support programs for around 10, 000 PAAs in Mali, Tanzania, Malawi, Togo, Uganda and Ivory Coast.

Presentation of the APPASAAS Project
Albinism and consideration of disability are largely under-addressed in the public policies of the countries concerned. Dedicated care pathways adapted to the specific needs of PAAs are not defined and/or poorly available and professionals (health or educational personnel) are often poorly trained in these specificities. Although PAA associations exist across the African continent, they are mostly unstructured and their actions fragmented. They have few means to make their voice heard and participate in decision-making processes that concern them. For questions of access, sustainability and equity, it is therefore essential to support the associative fabric towards coordination and operational autonomy, so that PAA organizations can play their role, particularly in terms of information and awareness.

This project, via a first phase of three years, aims to strengthen the protection, prevention and access to care of PAAs in Ivory Coast, Uganda, Niger, DRC and Madagascar (hereinafter the Project t”).

The Project will seek to complement the programs already undertaken with its own funds by the FPF in some of these countries and intended to achieve the following three convergent results:

· Strengthen the capacities of PAA associations by supporting them in their structuring and networking (1);

· Improve orientation towards holistic management of AAP (2);

· Contribute to advocacy for the establishment of national policies for the protection of PAAs (3).
