Chef de Mission Sud-Kivu

LE PROGRAMME AMI EN RDC :

Après une guerre de 5 ans qui a fait plus de 4 millions de morts et provoqué une partition du pays et le pillage des ressources naturelles, la RDC s’est engagée sur le chemin de la paix et de la réunification. Ceci s’est d’abord concrétisé par la mise en place d’un gouvernement de transition en 2003 représentant l’ensemble des factions et groupes armés, puis les premières élections démocratiques libres ont été organisées en 2006, à l’issue desquelles un président et une assemblée nationale ont été élus. Le retour à une légitimité démocratique donne l’espoir à la RDC de retrouver une stabilité politique et sociale.
Cependant, de nombreux défis sont à relever dans ce processus de reconstruction, notamment à l’Est du pays. Depuis le début de la période de transition, si la situation sécuritaire s’est améliorée dans tout le pays, elle reste instable avec des poches de résistances notamment aux Nord et Sud Kivu. Les problèmes de fond ne sont pas résolus, malgré les accords de Nairobi et de Goma en 2007-2008. Le processus de démobilisation/réinsertion des anciens combattants n’est pas encore terminé et de fortes tensions locales perdurent avec la présence de groupes rebelles. Sensibles à ces questions, la communauté internationale et l’ONU (mission la plus importante de casques bleus au monde avec 20 000 hommes) sont très présentes.
Après une reprise des combats entre l’armée gouvernementale et le mouvement rebelle du CNDP mettant sur les routes des milliers de personnes fin 2008, un nouvel accord a été conclut entre le Rwanda et le gouvernement de RDC : fin janvier 2009, des troupes rwandaises sont entrées au Nord Kivu et ont débuté la traque aux rebelles du FDLR. Ceci a entraîné un mouvement de retours vers le Rwanda, et une association entre les troupes du CNDP et les forces gouvernementales congolaises.
Après le retrait des troupes rwandaises, le gouvernement congolais a lancé l’opération « KIMIA II » de traque des FDLR au Nord et au Sud Kivu par son armée, les FARDC. L’opération a débutée au mois de Juillet dans nos zones d’intervention et se situerait en phase finale, dite de « ratissage ».
La situation sécuritaire est toujours volatile sur nos zones d’intervention.
Du point de vue de la santé, le conflit armé a laissé exsangue le système sanitaire congolais.
Dans le Sud Kivu, comme dans de nombreuses provinces, les zones de santé rurales se sont vidées de leurs acteurs sanitaires. Sans médicaments ni personnel qualifié, le peu de centres de santé encore fonctionnels avaient des taux de fréquentation très faibles du fait notamment d’une tarification élevée. Cette situation a eu pour conséquence une forte morbidité, une insécurité alimentaire et l’explosion des systèmes traditionnels de solidarité.
La fin de la guerre depuis 6 ans a permis une relative reprise économique mais l’Etat commence tout juste à reprendre ses droits et obligations sanitaires. L’espérance de vie moyenne en RDC reste basse : 43 ans en 2006 d’après le PNUD. Si les effets de la paix ont amélioré l’accès aux zones enclavées et l’affectation progressive de personnel de santé, le recours aux soins reste faible. Le taux moyen de l’utilisation des services de santé en RDC est d’environ 0,15 consultations par habitant et par an, ce qui correspond à moins d’une consultation par personne tous les 6 ans (chiffres Banque mondiale 2005). Ceci est particulièrement vrai dans les zones rurales enclavées.
La problématique de l’intervention d’AMI en RDC est celle de l’accès aux soins dans le sud du Sud Kivu.

AMI intervient au sud du Sud Kivu depuis 2001, essentiellement sur l’accès aux soins de santé primaire. Aujourd’hui, nous appuyons :
• 34 centres de santé dans 3 zones (Hauts Plateaux, Kimbi Lulengue, Fizi)
• 3 centres hospitaliers
Nous appuyons également des activités spécifiques dans certaines structures :
• Prise en charge des victimes de violences sexuelles
• Transfusion sanguine
• PTME (Prévention de la transmission du VIH/SIDA de la Mère à l’Enfant)
• Centres de Dépistage volontaires du VIH-SiIDA

Actuellement AMI s’est désengagé des activités de soins de santé primaires de certaines zones de santé dans une optique de transition de l’urgence vers le développement. Par ailleurs, AMI souhaite étendre son activité sur certaines zones en réorientant son action vers un positionnement post-urgence.

Objectifs 2011 de la mission Sud Kivu :

L’objectif principal d’AMI est de rendre accessibles les soins aux populations les plus vulnérables (déplacés, rapatriés, indigents). Principaux volets d’activité :
• Permettre l’accès aux soins pour la population de 3 zones de santé aux niveaux géographique et économique, et améliorer l’offre et la qualité de soins de santé spécifiques (VAS).
• Répondre aux urgences sur le Sud du Sud Kivu (déplacés/retournés).
• Lutter contre la propagation du VIH/SIDA sur 6 zones de santé.
• Améliorer la qualité des soins via la supervision, la formation et le compagnonnage.
• Appuyer la transition au développement par la préparation à la passation de certaines zones de santé à des acteurs de développement.
• Renforcer les capacités des acteurs de santé locaux dans un objectif d’autonomisation :
- Renforcement des capacités des autorités sanitaires (BCZ : Bureaux Centraux de Zone) sur la gestion de leur zone de santé.
- Formation et compagnonnage des CODESA (Comité de développement Sanitaire, permettant d’établir un lien entre la population et l’aire de santé) afin qu’ils puissent remplir leurs rôles de manière autonome : gestion des centres de santé, établissement des listes d’indigents, éducation sanitaire etc.
- Réhabilitation durable des structures de santé en participation avec la communauté.

Programmes :

3 projets sont actuellement en cours :
• Aide médicale en faveur des populations du district Sud de la Province du Sud Kivu. Financement ECHO
• Programme global de lutte contre le VIH dans les zones de santé d’Uvira, Ruzizi, Kimbi-Lulenge, Lemera, Fizi : appui de centres de dépistage et de centres de santé intégrant la prévention de la transmission materno-infantile du VIH.

Financements : Fondation Moussa et Mairie de Paris.

Coordinateur de programme (H/F)

Depuis septembre 2009, MdM-F mène à Bamako un projet de renforcement des capacités de l’AME, Association malienne des expulsés, en matière de prise en charge psychologique des personnes expulsées et refoulées qu’elle accueille. Ce projet est considéré comme une première étape pour Médecins du Monde dans son travail auprès des personnes migrantes au Mali.
Depuis mai 2010, MdM-F soutient également l’ARACEM (Association des Refoulés d’Afrique Centrale au Mali), qui mène des activités similaires à l’AME, mais auprès des personnes originaires de la sous-région.

National Nutrition Action Plan - Kenya

Introduction

Malnutrition, including micronutrient deficiencies, is a significant public health problem in Kenya.

As a matter of fact, malnutrition continues to be the single greatest contributor to child mortality (53%). Nutritional trends in the decade between 1998 and 2008 show no significant change in nutritional status of children less than five years with stunting rates stagnating at about 33% according to the Kenya Demographic Health Survey (KDHS 1998, 2003 and 2008).

Today in Kenya, 2.8 million children are stunted. This is a serious national development concern as they are at a high risk of dying and if they survive, they are likely to be less productive in their adult life.

Although the 2.8 million children may enrol later in school and even complete a few grades, their performance will be below their potential thus compromising the impact of free primary education.

It is estimated that in 2010 alone, Kenya lost about KShs 95 billion due to the effects of stunting and this may increase to Kshs 2.4 trillion by 2030 if nothing is done to address the problem. According to the Kenya Nutrition Profiles (2010) about 704, 771 lives will be lost by then. .

Facts on the impact of malnutrition on mortality and disease in Kenya indicate that:

• 50,000 child lives lost every year because children are underweight
• 10, 000 child lives lost every year because children lack the protection of Vitamin A
• 11,000 child lives lost every year because children are not exclusively breastfed
• 400,000 children suffering mental retardation every year because they are not consuming iodized salt

In acknowledgement of the malnutrition situation in the country, the government has made effort in reducing hunger and malnutrition as reflected in a number of strategic documents such as the National Plan of Action on Nutrition (1994), the draft National Food Security and Nutrition Policy (2007) and, the Child survival and Development Strategy (CSDS) 2008-2015 among others.

It is important to note that efforts in laying the strategic frameworks have not yielded noticeable results as malnutrition persists. A number of the policies and strategies are also yet to pass through the entire parliamentary processes and those that have done so, have been marked by weaknesses in implementation.

Indeed the national planning blue print, the Kenya Vision 2030 recognizes the importance of nutrition in its goal, to “transform Kenya into a globally competitive and prosperous nation with a high quality of life by 2030”. It is also arguable that the attainment of the first five Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) is contingent on having a healthy and productive labour force thus the need to ensure that newborns are nourished and well cared for.

At the International Conference on Nutrition (ICN) held in December 1992, 159 countries including Kenya, unanimously adopted a World Declaration and Plan of Action for Nutrition which stresses the determination of all actions to work together to eliminate hunger and all forms of malnutrition.

The national plan on nutrition for Kenya was developed in 1994 but its implementation has been weak. As such, Kenya does not have any strategy on nutrition for its citizens and there is need to develop a nutrition strategy especially in view of the new constitution and other relevant existing policy frameworks.

In view of the foregoing, World Vision Kenya and Save the Children UK, in collaboration with UNICEF, Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation (MOPHS) and other partners under the umbrella of the Nutrition Interagency Coordinating Committee (ICC) seeks to hire the services of a qualified and experienced consultant to facilitate the process of reviewing the draft food security and nutrition strategy and developing a Nutrition Action Plan for Kenya.

Deputy Country Director, Swaziland

The Clinton Health Access Initiative: Founded in 2002, by President William J. Clinton, the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) is a global health organization committed to strengthening integrated health systems around the world and expanding access to care and treatment for HIV/AIDS, Malaria and other illnesses. Based on the premise that business oriented strategy can facilitate solutions to global health challenges, CHAI acts as a catalyst to mobilize new resources and optimize the impact of these resources to save lives, via improved organization of commodity markets and more effective local management. By working in association with governments and other NGO partners, CHAI is focused on large scale impact and, to date, CHAI has secured lower pricing agreements for treatment options in more than 70 countries. In addition, CHAI’s teams are working side-by-side with over 30 governments to tackle many of the largest barriers to effective treatment and care. The Swaziland Team: CHAI has been working in Swaziland since 2007. The team began by managing a donation of pediatric commodities to the Government of Swaziland through UNITAID, and since that time has been providing technical assistance in a variety of the Government’s public health priority areas. Most of the work to date has been done in the areas of pediatric HIV/AIDS care and treatment, increasing access to high-quality, affordable medicines, and malaria elimination. With a new grant from the Dutch Postcode Lottery’s Dream Fund, awarded in 2011, CHAI Swaziland is developing a more comprehensive program to support the Ministry of Health across the continuum of HIV care and treatment with a particular focus on the benefits of treatment as prevention. Position: Based in Mbabane, Swaziland, the Deputy Country Director (DCD) will work with the Country Director (CD) and CHAI staff to ensure the overall success of the organization’s programs. The DCD will play an important role in ensuring the team achieves its objectives in providing robust support to the Government of Swaziland.
