CALL FOR EXPRESSION OF INTEREST

CEI/MDM-CH/CG/PRG/LOG/2024 of 10/09/2024

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.

In order to improve the demand for these services, the current project has developed a network of community relay workers, protection agents and mobile clinic teams constituted in collaboration with religious, traditional and community leaders of Bamenda and Santa. The role of this community network is to sensitize the populations on gender-based violence, detect and refer cases to the above-mentioned care units.

As part of its strategy to improve the demand and to guarantee access to these free services, MdM-CH is looking to partner with a consultant for the conception and production of 3 radio spots in local languages to inform the populations of Bamenda and Santa on the availability of these services.
