World Vision International Sierra Leone is set to launch the
ENOUGH Campaign.

Press Release: Monday, July 8th, 2024
World Vision International Sierra Leone, as part of the World Vision International Partnership, is planning to launch a three to five-year campaign called "ENOUGH". The ENOUGH Campaign is a major initiative designed to raise awareness about the critical issue of child hunger and malnutrition in Sierra Leone, with the aim of reaching 3,500,000 children. World Vision International Sierra Leone is planning to mobilize and invest $1,500,000 for the next three to five years. This is a programmatic and advocacy campaign with the primary goal of ending child hunger and malnutrition.

The Sierra Leone campaign launch is set to occur on July 9th, 2024, at the Bintumani Hotel in Freetown and will be led by the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry, and Food Security.

The ENOUGH campaign is in line with the Sierra Leone government's Medium Term National Development Plan 2024 - 2030 which has 'Feed Salone' as the flagship programme and Human Capital Development as one of the ‘big five’ game changers. The "Feed Salone" initiative aims to boost agricultural productivity to fuel inclusive growth, increase local food production, reduce the country’s dependence on food imports, decrease hunger, increase export earnings, create jobs, and build a resilient food system.
As World Vision International Sierra Leone we anticipate ENOUGH political will, ENOUGH policies, and ENOUGH resources to ensure that every child not only survives but also has access to sufficient nutritious food to thrive. With the ENOUGH campaign, we desire to advocate for accelerated progress in efforts to address child hunger and malnutrition across the country. We are committed to mobilizing and working with stakeholders at all levels in this unprecedented campaign, to build a Sierra Leonean society where every girl and boy is nourished and thrives. Every child deserves the food he or she needs to develop a healthy body and mind. Every family deserves to be able to put ENOUGH of the right food on the table.
The ENOUGH campaign in Sierra Leone is part of continental and global World Vision initiatives connected to Sustainable Development Goal 2 (Zero Hunger). It also includes a drive to improve data collection systems at national and global levels so children can be reached with support and have their voices heard in shaping key policies and outcomes.
The World Vision’s global campaign is premised on the principle that children’s right to adequate food must be respected, protected, and fulfilled and that no child should go to bed hungry. It is a response to the challenges brought about by climate change, conflict and the cost of food increasing the number of children in need of aid.
We have had ENOUGH of child hunger and manlutrition but we believe there is ENOUGH nutritious food for every child.

GOVERNMENT OF SIERRA LEONE

MINISTRY OF HEALTH
INTEGRATED HEALTH PROJECTS ADMINISTRATION UNIT (IHPAU)
REQUEST FOR EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST(REOI)

(CONSULTING SERVICE - INDIVIDUAL CONSULTANT)

FIRST ISSUED: 5th July 2024.

TITLE: HIRING OF TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO SUPPORT THE DIRECTORATE OF DISEASE PREVENTION AND CONTROL TO STRENGTHEN PROGRAM CAPACITY
Country: Republic of Sierra Leone

Name of Project: Strengthening System for health and scaling up of high impact interventions for HIV, Tuberculosis and Malaria to attain Universal Health Coverage under New Funding Model (NFM 3) Grant.

Procurement No.: MOH/PR/GF/NCB/2024/07/001/22

1. The Government of Sierra Leone has received financing from the Global Fund towards continuing support to HIV, Tuberculosis, Malaria and COVID-19 programs under the NFM3 grants. The Directorate of Disease Prevention and Control (DPC) is one of the directorates in the Ministry of Health. The directorate of DPC is the umbrella body coordinating the following health programs:
• National AIDS Control Program
• National TB and Leprosy Control Program
• National Malaria Control Program
• National Neglected Tropical Disease Program
• National Hepatitis Control Program
The directorate coordinates and ensures the effective planning of infectious disease prevention and control by the ministry, but has not been functional since 2021. The Ministry of Health recognizes this important role of the directorate and recently appointed a director to reactivate and lead the directorate.
The work of the Directorate of Disease Prevention and Control is based on three key initiatives prioritized to support effective planning of disease prevention and control in Sierra Leone. These three initiatives include:
1. Governance and Leadership.
2. Integration, Collaboration and Decentralization
3. Strategic Information and Innovation
Through the governance and leadership pillar, the directorate will strengthen program leadership and governance systems through organizational capacity assessment and reforms. The directorate will provide a strategic direction and oversight on issues of integration, collaboration and decentralization and establish and maintain partnerships for the benefit of the programs and the ministry as a whole.
The directorate has no structures and there is minimal capacity to support and provide effective oversight in the HIV, TB, and Malaria programs. Coupled with the fact that repeated assessments of the HIV, TB, and Malaria Programs have consistently identified significant gaps in the human resource capacity in HIV, TB, and Malaria, this directorate needs to be strengthened and provided the needed support to effectively coordinate the program activities.

The Ministry of Health (MOH) through its sub-structure, the Integrated Health Projects Administration Unit (IHPAU) intends to apply part of the proceeds for the hiring of a Technical Assistance to support the Directorate of Disease Prevention and Control to strengthen program capacity.
Roles and responsibilities

1. Develop systems to track and evaluate the impact of interventions supported by the Global Fund and other partners.

3. Support the directorate to provide effective leadership, strategic direction, and oversight for the planning, organization, integration, coordination, and control of HIV, TB and Malaria.
4. Provides technical support and guidance to managers, including epidemiological approaches to the assessment, planning, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of infectious disease program activities.
5. Provide technical and strategic support in the overall assessment of health trends, the patterns and distribution of HIV, TB and Malaria.
6. Supervise the analysis of causes and risk factors for specific diseases and utilize data to inform decision-making and development of policies and strategies
7. Support the establishment and readjustment of HIV, TB and Malaria control priorities and recommend changes in the norms and guidelines for disease control programs
8. Build capacity of HIV, TB and Malaria program staff on project coordination, management and leadership
9. Conduct implementation research to support decision-making on HIV, TB and Malaria
10. Support resource mobilization through grant preparation and domestic financing
11. Any other duty assigned by the Director of Disease Prevention and Control
Overall Deliverables
1. Report on the review of existing HIV, TB and Malaria data systems
2. Report on the established M & E system for the Directorate of Disease Prevention and Control
3. Roadmap to monitor implementation of activities by the three disease programs
4. Build capacity of members of the directorate and the programs
5. Semester HIV, TB and Malaria mega data analysis and report
6. Secure three research grants to support early career researchers
7. Secure at least one large research of $ 500,000 United States Dollars grants to support program data science.
