Tender Details

Tenders are invited for Somalia: Consultant at P5 Level for Health Systems.

1. Purpose of the Consultancy

The main objective of this consultancy is to review the recently done health situation analysis for Somalia, identify health priorities for the coming 5 years and develop the new WHO Country Cooperation Strategy (CCS) for Somalia based on thorough discussions and consultations with country office staff, Federal and state MOHs, other government officials and decision makers, health partners and donors.

2. Background

The Country Cooperation Strategy (CCS) is WHO’s medium-term strategic plan to guide the Organization’s work in and with a country. CCS is a comprehensive strategic plan to support the implementation of the GPW13 at the country level and monitor results. The CCS communicates WHO’s jointly agreed priorities and their alignment with national context and needs, the health and development agenda, as well as the interplay and opportunities for collaboration between the range of partners and stakeholders. It is a political instrument to promote national ownership and inter-sectoral approaches to achieve all health-related SDGs, a mechanism to ensure strategic coherence, complementarity and coordination among the United Nations entities with mandates relevant to health and elevating the profile of health in the development agenda; a tool to mobilize resources at the country level; and a platform for increasing WHO’s visibility as a communication and advocacy tool, to communicate WHO’s work with Somalia and enhance opportunities for resource mobilization.

The new CCS will be aligned to the timeframe of National Strategic Plans and the UNSF, it will be strategically focused on implementation and results; and include a clear results chain in the form of the CSP to communicate the planned contribution from all three levels of the Organization towards clearly defined priority outcomes and targets defined at country level. It recognizes the relevance of working together with the UN system in the context of the UN reform, and the need to provide a more coherent support for the achievement of the SDGs aligning the CCS with the UNDAF, to the extent possible and it will contain an overview of resources needed, available and gaps to implement the CCS and to support health related SDGs targets achievement, defining available resources or those to be potentially mobilized.

The assigned consultant will draft the CCS through a broad range of consultations. The consultant will be supported and supervised by WR and health management officer in WHO Somalia.
