Job Title: Consultant to undertake Research on IRC Interventions in the Health and Protection Sectors
Job Description
IRC began work in Nigeria in 2012 in Kogi state in response to the Niger and Benue Rivers flood emergency. In January 2014, IRC shifted its presence to northern Adamawa state due to the growing humanitarian crisis resulting from the Boko Haram insurgency. It remains one of the few international humanitarian actors present in Nigeria’s north eastern States of Emergency where IRC implements Health, Nutrition, Food Security, Child Protection CP, Women’s Protection and Empowerment WPE, Education, Protection, NFI, shelter, and Environmental Health (EH) programs.
The women & children health issues are the major concerns for IDPs within the state and returnee populations coming from neighboring countries like Chad, Cameroun and Niger. Protection of the women is another area which is directly linked with the health issues of the female population affected by the conflict in the affected states of north eastern Nigeria. Therefore, IRC emphasized upon the integrated health & protection issues and implementing its health & nutrition interventions for the IDPs within the camps, camp-like settings and s for those IDPs living in host communities. These programs are running with the support of community, relevant line departments of the state and local partners to provide the services to the IDPs living in and outside of the camps.
At the global level, children & women health, especially with the focus on their protection issues while living outside the camps in the host communities has been identified as most important issue faced by these IDPs especially their access to the health & protection services provided by either government or implementing partners. Most of these services are delivered through community led approach by involving the community volunteers and community itself to provide them easy access to these services. As IRC is providing these services to these IDPs in and outside the camps since beginning of 2014, it is imperative to assess the effectiveness community led health interventions and protection mechanisms on access to services and assistance for non-camp based IDPs .
