Long Term Agreement for Individual Consultant: Consultancy to provide Risk Communication and Community Engagement technical support to national and county coordination and preparedness against infectious diseases
BACKGROUND / RATIONALE The world is seeing an increased frequency of disease outbreaks since COVID-19. Kenya has experienced recent outbreak of diseases including Polio, Mpox, Cholera, Measles, Yellow Fever, Rift Valley Fever, and Malaria. Kenya is also on high-alert due to outbreak in its neighboring countries including Ebola Virus Disease (EVD), Marburg Virus Disease (MVD) Influx of migrant and refugee population from the neighboring counties, high volume of international trade and transport, and lack of access to clean water and sanitation system in parts of the country make Kenya particularly prone to the outbreaks. Since the issuance of COVID-19 Strategic Preparedness and Response Plan Operational Planning Guideline (2021), WHO identified Risk Communication and Community Engagement (RCCE) and infodemic management as the key pillar of essential actions to prevent and contain infectious diseases. From timely communication of outbreaks and risks to community engagement to accept public health measures, Social and Behaviour Change (SBC) interventions are central to the prevention and containment of disease outbreaks.
