Duration: 12 months, with possibility of extension based on performance and funding

Deadline for Application: 8th June 2022

Background:
The International Rescue Committee, one of the world’s largest humanitarian agencies, provides relief, rehabilitation, and post-conflict reconstruction support to victims of natural disaster, oppression, and violent conflict in 42 countries. The IRC has worked in Sierra Leone since 1999 and currently programs across three core sectors: 1) Health 2) Women and Girls’ Protection and Empowerment (WGPE), and 3) Education. The IRC is committed to supporting the Government of Sierra Leone in the strengthening of the country and has offices in Bo, Kailahun, Kenema, and Kono, with national geographic reach through partners. We seek to build upon our programming experience and introduce new programs that are adaptive, collaborative and evidence-driven, leading to a more educated, safe, healthy, and empowered Sierra Leone.

Infection prevention and control (IPC) is an essential component of healthcare quality and patient safety. In its operational districts, the IRC plans to support district hospitals and primary health care units (PHUs) in Sierra Leone to improve their IPC and WASH practices with the goal to reduce mortality and morbidity due to hospital (or healthcare) associated infections (HAIs). Rigorous infection control systems need to be in place to reduce transmission of infections among health workers and patients.  More effort will be focused on improving maternal and child health outcomes (such as proportional morbidity and mortality) hence IPC efforts will be focused on maternal and child health services. It is expected that these efforts will be integrated in routine activities within the supported PHUs and that this will contribute to reductions in occurrence of hospital-acquired postpartum infections and associated mortality among mothers and their newborn babies. To achieve this, the IRC plans to recruit three IPC Managers to lead implementation of IPC and WASH interventions in one district (Bo), and any other facilities as maybe determined during future planning. The IPC Managers will provide day-to-day support to PHUs to foster improvements in their IPC and WASH practices while ensuring integration within routine service delivery.

• As needed, lead implementation of IPC and WASH activities in PHUs and at community level ensuring that activities are implemented according to plan and are sustainable.
