Children who are protected against infectious diseases tend to achieve higher educational levels and contribute more to their nation's development and prosperity.&nbsp;Communities with a high number of unvaccinated children are at risk of recurring outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases, such as measles, which can spread quickly and worsen health and development outcomes. These vulnerable communities often face various challenges, including limited access to necessities like clean water and education, as well as issues like lack of decision-making power when it comes to healthcare, gender-based violence, early marriages, and teenage pregnancies. These challenges are prevalent in remote rural areas, pastoralist communities, and areas affected by conflict. Therefore, reaching zero-dose and under-vaccinated children requires reaching their communities and establishing connections with healthcare services and essential&nbsp; resources. It is crucial to prioritize reaching and ensuring complete immunization for zero-dose children. Despite ongoing global efforts to increase vaccination coverage, disparities in vaccine access persist, leaving many low-income countries unable to access crucial vaccines.PROJECT&nbsp;BACKGROUNDGates Anchor IV Health and Nutrition Advocacy Project (AG-IV 2021-2025). Ethiopia has made significant progress in improving access to primary health care and reducing undernutrition. This success is largely attributed to the implementation of the health extension program (HEP) and integrated community case management (ICCM) approaches. However, in the &nbsp;pastoralist regions of Somali and Afar, maternal and child mortality and morbidity rates have remained high with minimal improvements over the past two decades. The health system in these regions is under-resourced and ill-equipped to address the unique challenges, resulting in poor- quality and inaccessible services. According to the Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey (EDHS) report of 2019, child mortality rates from lack of full immunization are particularly high in both regions, and seeking reproductive, maternal, newborn, and child health (RMNCH) services is significantly influenced by socio-economic and cultural factors. These factors include inadequate infrastructure, poor management and implementation capacity, weak health facility linkages, and limited access to information (as reported by UNICEF in 2019).

<h2 style="text-align:justify;">Background&nbsp;</h2>&nbsp;As of 2022, Ethiopia had an estimated population of more than 123 million, of which over 78 percent reside in rural areas. While Ethiopia is Africa’s second most populous country and one of the fastest-growing economies in Africa, it still is one of the poorest. Over the past years, to improve access to health services and reduce mortality and morbidity, Ethiopia has constructed more than 18,200 health posts, 3,800 health centers, and 380 public hospitals to provide health service to the population. It has implemented primary healthcare (PHC) approach since the Alma Ata Declaration in 1978 to improve health and well-being, achieving MDGs and now towards achieving universal health coverage (UHC). Significant improvements have been made in health status, service utilization, and health investments over the past decades. Life expectancy at birth in Ethiopia has increased from 50.6 years in 2000 to 68.7 years in 2022. Maternal mortality rate has decreased from 399 per 100,000 live births in 2015 to 267 in 2020. Neonatal mortality and under- 5 mortality has declined to 26 and 47 per 1,000 live births.&nbsp;&nbsp;Despite these achievements, the health system challenges and unforeseen emergencies that affect its resilience to different types of shock. The most common health system challenges include limited public health funding and high out of pocket expense; lack of trained healthcare personnel, essential medicines and medical equipment; poor infrastructure, governance, data and accountability systems which have impacted the quality and safety of healthcare services. Besides the health system challenges, Ethiopia has faced a series of consecutive public health challenges including conflict, crisis and climate change since 2020 that have imposed burdens on the emergency preparedness, operations, and financing systems. Some of these are drought, flooding, displacement and destruction due to conflicts, the reoccurrence of outbreaks of malaria and cholera, and the rise of new and emerging infectious diseases like covid 19 has affected the health system resilience.Amref health Africa is implementing a health system strengthening project in collaboration with the ministry of health across five regions in 50 woreda through the generous support of the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation. The integrated health system strengthening (iHSS) project contributes to the improved health outcomes of the country through improving health service readiness and equitable utilization of quality health services by engaging in three main primary outcomes. 1) Improved primary health care governance, 2) improved efficiency and resource mobilization for health, and 3) availability of essential inputs insured<h2 style="text-align:justify;">Objective</h2>The COVID-19 pandemic and the conflict in northern Ethiopia are acute reminders of the demands for a resilient health care system that can bounce back and maintain services during shocks.

Who we are&nbsp;SOS Children’s Villages Ethiopia is an International Non-governmental organization and a member of SOS Children’s Villages International Federation. We started our humanitarian work in Ethiopia with the opening of our first Village in Mekelle, Northern part of Ethiopia in 1974. Since then, we have expanded our programs to different regions where there are significant needs for intervention and where we believe we can work in partnership with all relevant actors to bring sustainable positive outcomes for children’s and young people.&nbsp;Today, we have grown significantly to meet the persistent challenges that confront Ethiopian children who have lost parental care and those that are at risk of losing their parental care. Working in close collaboration with international donors, local government and community-based organizations across seven program locations; we aspire that every child grows up with love, respect and security.

SOS Children's Villages in Ethiopia

BackgroundYouth care leaver associations are charity organizations established under the law by and for care leavers and they are affiliated to parent residential care institutions. Government offices are also those organizations mandated to issues related to care leavers. In the case of NGOs, organizations were sub-categorized into residential care providers and general service providers. Among the private sector actors, banks and employment service providers are included.In general terms, the level of responsiveness to the issue of youth care leavers by governmental and non-governmental organizations is very minimal. The agenda has not been addressed by relevant government policies and strategies indicating how the subject of youth care leavers is overlooked by policy makers. The level of coordination and partnership among relevant governmental and non-governmental stakeholders is also scanty. The only platform or partnership identified that works on youth care leavers is the project being implemented by SOS Children’s Villages – Ethiopia in partnership of youth care leaver associations and relevant government counterparts. No other attempts were identified and prominent non-governmental actors which work on vulnerable youth haven’t embrace the issue of youth care leavers in their thematic areas and strategic directions. Here it came to be clear that unless key stakeholders act collectively and bring the issue to the attention of policy makers, the vast majority of the problems faced by youth care leavers would continue to prevail. It is auspicious that youth care leaver associations are emerging and coming to existence to join the battle. Though such associations are expected to play the central role in addressing the problems that youth care leavers face, they are still at a stage of infancy and require significant amount of support to build their capacity. Under Outcome 3 - Young people leaving care in Ethiopia claim their rights to healthy lives, care, and active participation Output 3.1 MHPSS + SRHR (YCL associations/groups have the capacity to advocate for the improvement of social support services (mapping YCLs, identify capacity gaps, support YCLs to secure legal entity, and support the development of strategic and capacity empowerment plan)Activity 3.1.2 Identify capacity gaps and support the development of strategic and capacity empowerment plan.

BACKGROUNDSOS Children's Villages in Ethiopia (SOSCVE) is a non-governmental, non-political, non-denominational charitable child welfare organization.

The Ministry of Health of Ethiopia has identified eight neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) as significant public health concerns, among which trachoma is included.Trachoma, which is caused by Chlamydia trachomatis, is the leading infectious cause of blindness. Infection is transmitted with ocular and nasal secretions that are passed from person to person on fingers, fomites (such as bedding) and eye-seeking flies (particularly Musca sorbens). Repeated episodes of active trachoma can scar the eyelids, and, in some individuals, leads to trachomatous trichiasis (TT), in which one or more eyelashes from the upper eyelid touch the eyeball. TT is extremely painful. It can be corrected surgically but, if left untreated, may lead to corneal opacification, low vision and blindness.The FMOH sets the following criteria to eliminate trachoma by 2030.<ul><li>Reduce prevalence of active trachoma among children from 5 and 9 years below 5%</li><li>Reduce prevalence of trachomatous trichiasis (TT) to &lt;1% among people age 15 years and older (or &lt;0.1% among the general population)</li></ul>Purpose and Scope of the workTo strengthen the MOH capacity in achieving NTD prevention and control targets, it is deemed essential to engage a consultant to serve as a Technical Assistant for the NTD Desk.&nbsp; The TA with strategic guidance from the LEO and NTD Desk Head, will independently drive technical analysis, collaborate on programmatic management and direct technical support to the overall implementation of the SAFE strategy by the regional health bureaus and implementing partners in the target regions and woredas.

<ol><li>Purpose and Project Description&nbsp;<ol><li>The purpose of this document is to request proposals from qualifying service providers/vendors to provide the following:&nbsp;<ol><li>Implementation of an integrated ERP&nbsp;system,</li><li>Customization where required, and&nbsp;</li><li>The system should be web-based, secure, and include a mobile application.&nbsp;</li></ol></li></ol></li><li>Background</li></ol>The Beza Posterity Development Organization (BPDO) was established in 2000 G.C. as an anti-HIV/AIDS club during a time when the virus was the leading cause of death among children and young adults, and there was significant stigma and discrimination surrounding social and cultural activities in the area. The club was founded by a dedicated group of young people affected by the epidemic. Transitioning from an anti-HIV/AIDS club to an association, BPDO is now a legally registered and licensed local NGO with registration number 1221, as per the FDRE Authority for Civil Society Organization Proclamation No. 1113/2019. Recently, BPDO’s headquarters moved from Kombolcha to Addis Ababa.BPDO collaborates with various international NGOs, government bodies, and community-based organizations to deliver high-impact community-based programs across ten regional states in Ethiopia, including Amhara, Addis Ababa, Afar, Dire Dawa, Harar, Somalia, Gambella, Benishangul Gumuz, and Tigray. The organizational structure includes an assembly at the top, followed by board members. The executive team, led by the executive director, is mandated by the board to carry out operational duties. BPDO has four major departments: program, monitoring and evaluation, finance and grants, and human resources and logistics. The organization employs 300 full-time staff (155 men and 104 women) and engages over 3000 volunteers.For effective program management, BPDO maintains regional and coordinating offices in Addis Ababa, Kombolcha, Bahir Dar, Semera Logia, Jigjiga, Dire Dawa, Somalia, and Harar, in addition to its headquarters.
