Summary

1. BACKGROUND

Marie Stopes International (MSI) operates in 37 countries worldwide to increase access to comprehensive sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services and to expand contraceptive choices for millions of women and couples. MSI is a results-oriented social business which uses modern management and marketing techniques to provide SRH care including family planning, safe abortion, and post-abortion care. In MSI, service delivery is complemented with marketing and behaviour change communication campaigns that improve health-seeking behaviour and build social support for SRH within communities. MSI develops policy and programmes which are informed and supported by evidence.

MSI’s Evidence to Action (E2A) team has access to a wealth of data, evidence and insights to support operational best practices for delivering SRH programmes worldwide. The organisation has robust and standardised data systems used across its country programmes, facilitating rapid evaluation, adaptive programming and pooled analyses for cross-organisational learning. These include its own client health management system (the Client Information Centre (CLIC)), an individualised dataset allow client tracking and analysis over time and across teams. MSI also uses an adaptation of the DHIS-II platform within its private sector social franchises, and is now scaling up its Mobile Application TEchology (MATE), a mobile data platform used for client reporting by community health workers, as well as for other mobile applications (job aids etc.). MSI also has a centralised accounting system which allows for detailed costing analyses.

In addition to its routine system, MSI also manages surveys and conducts discrete studies to gather insights on client needs, behaviour or satisfaction, including annual client exit interviews conducted across 22 countries, mystery client surveys, willingness to pay surveys, and client insight/market research surveys. Discrete scientific studies are implemented in selected countries, either alone or in collaboration with research partners, to both gather formative insights into care-seeking behaviour, or evaluations to test the effectiveness of interventions.

MSI disseminates evidence through multiple mechanisms including internally through best practice guidance (Success Models, clinical guidance, organisational policies), through internal communications (sharepoint, email, webinars, technical meetings), through external communications (evidence briefs, newsletters and peer-reviewed publications). It is also currently coordinating development of a multi-partner ‘Safe abortion knowledge hub’ to facilitate cross-sector learnings around implementation of abortion programmes. MSI also presents insights and evidence at external meetings including conferences, symposia and technical meetings throughout the year.

MSI is now looking to recruit a consultant for six months to provide technical scientific support to the E2A team across a range of data analysis and research activities and functions.

International Committee of the Red Cross - Various jobs available (Fixed Term )24th Dec 2018

Summary

Treating and caring for the wounded and sick in armed conflict, other major violence and natural disasters has always been bound up with the history, identity, values and reputation of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). Today, in an increasingly unstable and violent world and an extremely challenging humanitarian environment, the ICRC continues to address the main issues affecting people's health.

While our traditional health activities (first aid, war surgery, physical rehabilitation and health care in detention) have lost none of their relevance, other disciplines (primary health care, comprehensive hospital care, and mental health and psychosocial support) are increasingly proving their worth.

The ICRC has made a clear commitment to providing high quality and accountable health programmes, designed to meet professional standards. We often work in partnership with other organizations to bring together experts from different fields. The Health Care in Danger project is one such partnership, which aims to ensure that access to health care is not denied through attacks or obstruction.
