Description

For more than 40 years, Médecins du Monde, a campaigning medical organisation committed to international solidarity, has been caring for the most vulnerable populations here and abroad. It has continued to bear witness to obstacles that exist in accessing healthcare and has secured sustainable improvements in health-for-all policies.

Those working for this independent organisation do not solely dispense care and treatment but condemn violations of human dignity and rights and fight to improve matters for populations living in precarious situations.

MdM France currently works in 30 countries across all continents to facilitate access to healthcare through 6 political battles:

  • Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights
  • Migration, Exile, Human Rights and Health
  • Harm Reduction
  • Environment and Health
  • Humanitarian Space

For several years running, the arid and semi-arid lands of northern Kenya have suffered the consequences of a long drought. This had a direct impact on the living conditions of the pastoral populations, with a lack of access to water for both people and livestock, leading to a drop in milk production, the emaciation and even death of livestock, and an increase in malnutrition rates.

During 2023, some rains and a humanitarian response helped to improve the nutritional situation, moving the IPC from a state of emergency to a state of crisis.

However, the climate remains threatening (e.g. the El Nino phenomenon), the situation of the population is very precarious and the health system is failing.

It is against this backdrop that Médecins du Monde has launched a programme to strengthen the health system in Marsabit county, in northern Kenya. The aim of the programme is to improve access to primary healthcare and sexual and reproductive health rights, and to support the authorities in preparing for and responding to health emergencies (epidemics, malnutrition).

Consultancy to Support Age, Gender, Disability Protection Analysis

Project Title: Enhancing the protection of vulnerable refugee and host communities in Kakuma, Dadaab, and Nairobi.

  1. CONTEXT

Project Summary

HI is implementing a protection project in the refugee hosting locations of Dadaab, Kakuma and Nairobi, with a focus on Child Protection in Dadaab and Kakuma, and Protection of Persons with Disabilities in Nairobi. The 2-year project (September 2020 – August 2022) has been funded by the U.S. Department of State Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM).

The project has identified the need to assess the protection situation for person’s with disability especially children with disabilities who are disproportionately affected by violence, facing a variety of challenges: marginalization, lack of access to adapted services, and even direct targeting for violence. There is, however, variation in prevalence figures which would suggest that children with disabilities are not being properly identified or receiving needed services. Children with disabilities as well as children whose parents and/or caregivers have a disability, are not only among the most isolated, socially excluded and marginalized of all displaced populations, but also among those most vulnerable to violence and abuse. Studies show that children with disabilities are almost four times more likely to experience violence than non-disabled children, 3.7 times more likely than non-disabled children to be victims of any sort of violence, 3.6 times more likely to be victims of physical violence, and 2.9 times more likely to be victims of sexual violence. Children with mental or intellectual impairments appear to be among the most vulnerable, with 4.6 times the risk of sexual violence than their non-disabled peers. The intersection between disability gender and age make girls with disabilities in increase increased risks to face violence especially sexual abuse and exploitation and also child marriage, the population of urban refugees faces many risks as a result of multiple and complex unmet needs that cut across social, medical, and economic dimensions.

  1. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUIRED SERVICE PROVISION

The overall objective of the AGD Protection Risk Analysis is to ensure protection risks and potential violation of rights of persons with disabilities specifically children are identified and addressed through the consultation and coordination mechanisms in the camps. This will be done through understanding the causes and consequences of protection risks with a special focus on children with disabilities. Thereafter the causes and consequences are mitigated across all sectors through unified preparation of safety protocols incorporation of protection principles and promoting meaningful access, safety and dignity in humanitarian aid. This will also be included in the program development, planning and implementation.

Guided by IASC guidelines on inclusion for persons with disabilities, as well as HI experience in inclusion programming, including child protection, the project will ensure meaningful access, adaptations and reasonable accommodations are put in place at the service points.

Service from HI:

The services HI will provide will include; introductory induction on objectives of the protection risk analysis, mobilizing targeted persons with disabilities, introduction to key partners for the KII sessions, reviewing data collection tools and providing inputs, monitoring progress of activity, reviewing and providing inputs on the final analysis report.

Anticipated Results and Indicators:

Below are reported some of the key protection issues [1]to analyze, monitor and report that could be the focus of the Protection Risk Analysis.

  • Violence, abuse, exploitation, coercion, and deliberate deprivation – including cases related to GBV and violence against children (VAC),
  • Specific and targeted violence and abuse against boys and girls with different types of disabilities, such as forced drug use, sterilization, isolation, verbal violence, blood revenge, abduction.
  • the level of social acceptance of common forms of GBV, such as child marriage, survival sex e.t.c
  • self-protection strategies, (negative) coping mechanisms, and social cohesion;
  • access to public health information and medical services (prevention, testing, and treatment);
  • access to other essential services (WASH, shelter, food security, livelihood, psychosocial support, protection and legal services);
  • Social, cultural and traditional beliefs to identify power relations and situations of discrimination, stigmatization and exclusion of specific populations (e.g. displaced persons or persons with disabilities);

Among those key protection issues, particular attention should be paid to persons with disabilities, especially women, boys and girls with disabilities, in order to identify if they are exposed to specific protection risks (such as violence, including gender-based violence due to traditional practices, stigma, discriminatory service delivery and protection mechanisms, etc.). Specific questions should be designed to identify risks, concerns and barriers towards persons with disabilities especially children with disabilities and method of assessment should be adapted to ensure meaningful participation and their safety.
