CALL FOR EXPRESSION OF INTEREST

CEI/MDM-CH/CG/PRG/LOG/2024 of 12/09/2024

Founded in 1993, Doctors of the World Switzerland (MdM-CH) is a humanitarian organization working in Switzerland and internationally to establish sustainable access to healthcare for excluded people. Present in Cameroon since 2013, MdM Suisse deploys a strategy whose main goal is to improve the living conditions of vulnerable populations through the implementation of programs focused on 3 main thematic axes: SRHR, the fight against violence and pediatric palliative care.

Within the context of the security crisis in the North West and South West Regions, MdM-CH has been implementing the third phase of a three (3) year project entitled “Strengthening the protection of vulnerable populations in the North-West and West regions of Cameroon”, which aims to contribute to reducing violence and optimizing victims' access to integrated care services in the North-West and West regions of Cameroon, targeting internally displaced persons as well as vulnerable host populations. Like all the organization's interventions, this project is part of a dynamic that combines institutional anchoring to facilitate the development of service provision and community anchoring to improve demand, all with the aim of reducing exclusion and moving towards universal access to care.

To alleviate the difficulties of accessing care for victims of gender-based violence, the project provides free holistic care (medical, legal, mental health and psychosocial support services) for victims in hospitals in the North-West (Bamenda and Santa) and West (Bafoussam and Mbouda) regions, with a particular focus on men and boys who are victims of violence, through a multifaceted support for the operations of 2 Integrated Support Units (ISU) in the regional hospitals of Bamenda and Bafoussam and 2 emergency care units in the district hospitals of Mbouda and Santa. These services are provided in accordance with GBV guiding principles, the survivor-centred approach and according to inter-agency GBV case management guidelines. GBV case management is a collaborative, multi-sectoral process that assesses, plans, implements, coordinates, monitors and evaluates available resources, options and services to meet an individual survivor’s needs and to promote quality, effective outcomes.

Between March 2023 and July 2024, the ISU supported by the current project has provided holistic support services to 532 survivors of GBV (504 in the ISU of the Bamenda Regional Hospital and 28 at the ISU of the Bafoussam Regional Hospital).

As part of its strategy to improve access and the quality of GBV services, MdM-Ch is seeking the services of an independent consultant or team of consultants for the realisation of a satisfaction survey amongst beneficiaries of the ISU.
