John Snow Inc /Strengthening Ethiopia’s Urban Health Program
Request for Proposal for
Preparation of Community Mobilization Training Manual
The Strengthening Ethiopia’s Urban Health Program (SEUHP) is supported by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) to improve the health status of the urban population in Ethiopia by reducing HIV/Tuberculosis (TB)-related and maternal, neonatal and child mortality and morbidity, plus the impact of communicable and non-communicable diseases (NCDs).
The objective of SEUHP is to strengthen the GoE’s UHEP by improving the quality, use and management of community-level urban health and related services. One key specific objective is to increase demand for facility-level health services. To this end, the program has undertaken a formative assessment and designed a SBCC strategy. One of the activities identified in the strategy is to improve access to and utilization of health services and health seeking behavior is building the skills of Urban Health Extension Professionals (UHE-ps) on Community Mobilization (CM). The program envisages mobilizing communities (primarily HDA members) to reach target audience with key messages and behavior change interventions . The CM component is aimed at promoting health services and health-seeking behavior which reinforce messages promoted through electronic, print and other interpersonal level mediums.
To this end, SEUHP plans to develop a training manual on CM. Interested applicants can collect a copy of the Terms of Reference from the reception desk at the below address;
