GIZ Consultancy service for the development of guidelines and training curriculum on Mental Health & Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) for the Lake Chad Basin Jobs in Ethiopia
Background Information: The GIZ APSA project supports the African Union (AU) and regional organizations (RECs/RMs) to strengthen and effectively utilize instruments of the African Peace and Security Architecture (APSA), which include the Panel of the Wise, the Continental Early Warning Systems (CEWS), the African Standby Force (ASF) and the Peace Fund.
As part of this, the GIZ APSA project supports the Crisis Management and Post-Conflict Reconstruction and Development (CMPCRD) Division, including its activities in the Lake Chad Basin region under the Regional Stabilization Strategy (RSS). The RSS was adopted by the Lake Chad Basin Commission (LCBC) in August 2018 and endorsed by the AU Peace and Security Council (PSC) in December 2018.
Based on the need for psychosocial support services in the Lake Chad Basin region, the CMPCRD Division, together with LCBC, IOM and GIZ APSA, organized a pilot training in Yaoundé, Cameroon, in November 2019. The pilot workshop aimed to
identify knowledge and practice gaps,
provide a platform for exchange between participants from affected regions,
initiate the creation of a network of providers of community-based mental health and psychosocial support through a multi-tiered and holistic approach. The training supports the implementation of the Humanitarian Assistance Pillar (Pillar 4) of the RSS. The CMPCRD division, together with LCBC and support from GIZ APSA, would like to continue its work on MHPSS in the Lake Chad Basin region. This will entail the development of Guidelines on Mental Health and Psychosocial Support for the Lake Chad Basin as well as the development of a training package on this topic.
The consultancy is expected to commence on 1st April 2021 and will finish by 30th June 2021. The consultant is expected to work no more than 30 days. The consultancy is home-based.
