Consultancy: Endline survey of COVID-19 Prevention and Response Project for crisis-affected people in Damboa, North-East Nigeria

Department: Health, GBV, and WASH

Hiring Manager: MEAL Coordinator

Field Supervisor/Contact:

IMC Sites: Damboa

Time Frame: May 15, 2021 – June 15, 2021

1. Background

The COVID-19 public health emergency was declared a global pandemic on March 11, 2020. After recording its first confirmed case on February 27, Nigeria has reported 44,129 confirmed cases across 35 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) (August 5, 2020)[1]. On April 22, the first confirmed COVID-19 case was recorded in Nigeria’s north-eastern Borno State, and to date, has reported 613 confirmed cases, presenting serious concerns for the spread of the virus in congested internally displaced person (IDP) camps and host communities. Borno State remains the epicenter of an 11-year crisis in Nigeria and home to over 1.5 million IDPs due to the humanitarian crisis caused by insurgents (i.e., Boko Haram, ISWAP, the Caliphate) and other non-state actors. In addition to prolonged armed violence, communities in the state experienced outbreaks of measles, malaria, and cholera seasonally and throughout the year. Children suffer from severe malnutrition due to poorly staffed, non-functional, and physically damaged health and water/hygiene infrastructure, and limited access to isolated communities due to insecurity and poor road networks.

In June 2020, the International Medical Corps, with funding from USAID/Bureau of Humanitarian Assistance (BHA), began implementing the COVID-19 Prevention and Response Project for Crisis Affected People in Damboa LGA, North-East Nigeria. The project targets a population of approximately 166,000 people, over half of whom are internally displaced and nearly all of whom need humanitarian assistance to meet their basic needs and improve survival. The main goal of the project is “to prevent excess morbidity and mortality due to COVID-19 among conflict-affected people in Damboa North East, Nigeria.”.

International Medical Corps’ global and country mission’s vision is to build local capacity to transition from relief to self-reliance, preparing for the sustainability of the outputs and outcomes after the project’s closeout. To realize this, all activities were designed to utilize locally available resources, promote participation of community leaders, and to build the capacity of local stakeholders. International Medical Corps worked closely with respective line ministries to transition responsibility for the implementation of the operations and services, as appropriate. For example, the health program continues to utilized government-owned health facilities, and joint supervisions and training conducted included the State Ministry of Health staff to sustain functionality while ensuring the government’s full support and participation.

The overall goal was to reduce morbidity and mortality associated with poor nutrition, WASH, and protection conditions among conflict-affected populations in North-East-Nigeria.

International Medical Corps is a global, humanitarian, nonprofit organization dedicated to saving lives and relieving suffering through health care training and relief and development programs. Established in 1984 by volunteer doctors and nurses, International Medical Corps is a private, voluntary, nonpolitical, nonsectarian organization. Its mission is to improve the quality of life through health interventions and related activities that build local capacity in underserved communities worldwide.

By offering training and health care to local populations and medical assistance to people at highest risk, and with the flexibility to respond rapidly to emergency situations, International Medical Corps rehabilitates devastated health care systems and helps bring them back to self-reliance.

We assist those in urgent need anywhere, anytime, no matter what the conditions, providing lifesaving health care and health care-related emergency services—often within hours.

 

As conditions ease, we work with local leaders to rebuild stronger. In non-emergency settings, our focus is development. Through our training programs, we pass essential skills into local hands, preparing those in disaster-prone areas to better withstand adversity. Embedding these skills into the community lies at the heart of what we do: build self-reliance. It gives people hit by tragedy a sense of ownership over their own recovery and the ability to shape their own future as they rebuild. And wherever it occurs, it is an investment that benefits us all because it prepares local residents to be their own best First Responders should disaster strike.
