Save the Children Health Workers Behaviour Change and Communication Training TOR Wajir (Habaswein), Kenya

TOR For Health Workers Behaviour Change and Communication Training

Organization background

Save the Children is the world's largest independent organization for children, making a difference to children's lives in over 120 countries.

We deliver immediate and lasting improvements to children's lives worldwide. Save the Children listens to children, involves children and ensures their views are taken into account.

Save the Children secures and protects children's rights - to food, shelter, healthcare, education and freedom from violence, abuse and exploitation.

Our vision is a world in which every child attains the right to survival, protection, development and participation.

Our mission is to inspire breakthroughs in the way the world treats children, and to achieve immediate and lasting change in their lives.

Save the Children has been operational in Kenya for more than 20 years, working on four core thematic areas: right to Health, right to Freedom from Hunger, right to Education and right to Protection.

The rights-based approach of our interventions is founded on four interlocking pillars: direct programming, political and policy change, popular mobilization and fundraising. We provide support through both longer term development work and humanitarian relief in emergencies

Behaviour Change and Communication Training

Save the Children is currently implementing a broader health and Nutrition programme portfolio in response to the needs identified in Wajir and Mandera Counties.

A whole system approach to health is employed to improve maternal, new born and child health and survival through tackling structural barriers to access to quality health care as well as unequal access to available preventive and curative services.

The health programme portfolio has been sub-divided into three programme components namely; Health, Nutrition and Water, Sanitation and Hygiene.

Behaviour change and communication has been recognized as an important intervention area by Save the children International and Health stake holders.

However, one of the weaknesses noted is that there is low technical capacity in Behaviour change and communication among both the save the children and MOH staffs.

There is therefore a need to develop the capacity of BCC programme implementers (Save the children and MOH staffs) in order to have a pool of TOTs who can comfortably facilitate the drafted BCC strategy.

The application period is now open and will close on 20th May 2013.

To apply for open position, please send a short cover letter and CV to Kenya.jobapplications@savethechildren.org indicating the position applied for in the subject line.

The project will particularly equip the youth with pertinent knowledge to enable them monitor performance of the county governments.

Objective and Scope of The Handbook
