Purpose of consultancy: Triggering Anticipatory Action (AA) in response to early warnings has demonstrated to have tangible benefits in terms of strengthening resilience and protecting lives and livelihoods from the impact of disasters. In addition it is also a smart investment since stepping in early to take anticipatory action can also significantly reduce the costs of emergency response. UNFPA draws upon decades of accumulated expertise in sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) gender equality population data and youth empowerment. With the three transformative results to end preventable maternal deaths end unmet need for family planning and end gender-based violence and harmful practices UNFPA is in a unique position to enhance the resilience of women and girls through Anticipatory Action.

Overview The Clinton Health Access Initiative Inc. (CHAI) is a global health organization committed to our mission of saving lives and reducing the burden of disease in low-and middle-income countries. We work at the invitation of governments to support them and the private sector to create and sustain high-quality health systems. CHAI was founded in 2002 in response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic with the goal of dramatically reducing the price of life-saving drugs and increasing access to these medicines in the countries with the highest burden of the disease. Over the following two decades CHAI has expanded its focus. Today along with HIV we work in conjunction with our partners to prevent and treat infectious diseases such as COVID-19 malaria tuberculosis and hepatitis. Our work has also expanded into cancer diabetes hypertension and other non-communicable diseases and we work to accelerate the rollout of lifesaving vaccines reduce maternal and child mortality combat chronic malnutrition and increase access to assistive technology. We are investing in horizontal approaches to strengthen health systems through programs in human resources for health digital health and health financing. With each new and innovative program our strategy is grounded in maximizing sustainable impact at scale ensuring that governments lead the solutions that programs are designed to scale nationally and learnings are shared globally. At CHAI our people are our greatest asset and none of this work would be possible without their talent time dedication and passion for our mission and values. We are a highly diverse team of enthusiastic individuals across 40 countries with a broad range of skillsets and life experiences.

CHAI values diversity and inclusion and recognizes that our mission is best advanced by the leadership and contributions of people with diverse experience backgrounds and culture. About The Program Assistive technology (AT) is an umbrella term covering products and services that enhance functioning such as mobility hearing aids and eyeglasses. An estimated 2.5 billion people worldwide need at least one form of AT including 240 million disabled children. For the people that need it AT is lifechanging as it supports their independence and ability to live their full potential. However despite the large need one billion people are denied access to AT particularly in low- and middle-income countries where access can be as low as 3% of the need. AT provision has traditionally been perceived as a charitable activity led by NGOs and faith-based organizations. As a result provision is small-scale erratic and not sustainable. The growing need for AT is rapidly outpacing the current gains in access. A radical shift is needed from the status quo and governments requested support from CHAI to tackle this. AT is particularly important for children with disabilities during their early years (aged 0-6) as this period is critical for maximizing their development and these children are commonly deprived from equal opportunities to play learn and fulfill their potential. Early childhood interventions that involve disability screening and supportive services like AT and therapeutic activities based around play have been shown to improve child outcomes by helping children acquire new skills and behaviors to reinforce and strengthen learning. However these services are not routinely available in the public sector and millions of children with disabilities are left behind. Several countries -including Ethiopia Indonesia Kenya Liberia Nigeria Rwanda Sierra Leone South Africa – have developed plan and strategies to increase early access to AT to children with disabilities. In 2023 CHAI is starting work with the Lego Foundation to support 8 countries with the further implementation of their ambitious strategies. Over the next 3 years we will work with governments and partners to develop and implement scalable models for routine disability screening early access to AT and supportive learning via play.

In 190 countries and territories we work for every child everywhere every day to build a better world for all. And you never give up. For every child Development The main obstacles to birth registration in the DRC are: * Insufficient resources of the CRVS system (insufficient registers lack of staff and civil registration offices). * Not all new birth registration mechanisms are fully operational in health platforms (maternity wards and immunization services) reducing access to civil registration. Immunization services) which reduces access to civil registration services * Existing constraints within the current civil registration legal framework including the restrictive use of new technologies and civil registration legislation. * Limited use of new technologies and the legal deadline for free birth registration. In 2022 significant progress has been made towards greater integration between the civil registration and health sectors. This integration has been achieved through inter alia the establishment of civil registry offices on (or near the premises of health facilities) and the increasing use of power of attorney delegated to health personnel to facilitate birth registration in hospitals or in the community. In order to leave no child behind and to establish an efficient birth registration system UNICEF through the development of a new civil registration strategy has encouraged increased collaboration between the civil registration system and other sectors such as education and social protection to identify unregistered children and provide them with birth certificates.
