JOB CONTEXT:

Somalia is classified as a fragile state, with some of the world’s low health indicators, primarily due to civil war and the destruction of its public health system.  The country is in the process of recovery from a civil war and other man-made and natural disasters, including disease outbreaks, recurrent droughts, and floods, which are exacerbated by global climatic changes and have further crippled the public health systems.  These challenges have led a large proportion of preventable NCD morbidities and deaths in Somalia, causing disabilities and fatalities. NCDs, including injuries, account for 40% of Somalia’s deaths and disabilities.

Additionally, there is a significant shortage of trained healthcare professionals and a lack of rehabilitation professionals. Infrastructure damage, including hospitals and clinics, further exacerbates the challenges in delivering adequate rehabilitation services.

HI established Hargeisa Rehabilitation Centre (HRC) in Somaliland in 1992, providing rehabilitation services such as physiotherapy and mobility devices. Gradually, HI phased out its support to HRC and it was taken over by Diversity Action Network (DAN) in 2006. This cooperation involved technical and financial support from HI to DAN through HI-DAN joint projects from the donors.

Diversity Action Network (DAN) and SRCS are the only physical rehabilitation service providers in Somaliland. DAN’s main activities include providing rehabilitation services, such as physiotherapy and mobility devices (also known as Assistive Technology – AT), in Hargeisa. Additionally, DAN supports and supervises 3 small satellite P&O / physiotherapy units at remote regional hospitals in Boroma, Burao and Erigavo, offering basic physiotherapy services and P&O and mobility device repairs.

The orthopedic workshop assesses, prescribes, fits, user-trains, and follows up on different mobility and orthopedic devices. Five orthopedic technician assistants work at the workshop in Hargeisa, including one trained in TATCOT (Tanzanian Training Centre for Orthopedic Technologists) at a certificate level. The other 4 were initially trained by HI, DAN and MoHD in Somaliland.

DAN’s physiotherapy services include basic physiotherapy such as: Clubfoot treatment clinic for children with cerebral palsy. Adult physiotherapy for patients with stroke, post-fracture and trauma complications, muscle weaknesses, joint stiffness, back pains, etc.

The regional units in Borama, Burao, and Erigavo, each employ two Rehab Workers who provide basic rehabilitation services. In Borama and Erigavo, the rehab services are based within the general hospitals, while in Burao, they operate outside the hospital premises. The rehab workers undergo a six-month training program covering the fundamentals of rehabilitation theory and practice, enabling them to administer basic therapy and fabricate simple orthopedic devices such as crutches. Annually, DAN attends to between 1200 to 1700 new patients, including first-time visitors and about 700 returning service users.

JOB CONTEXT:

Handicap International started in Somaliland in 1992 by setting up a rehabilitation center in Hargeisa.

From 2010 to 2014, HI implemented a Human Rights project entitled “Enhanced participation of Somalis with disability for human rights and democracy in Somaliland and Puntland”. This project strengthened the capacity of 15 Disable People Organizations (DPOs) at grassroots level to empower people with disability to actively promote and advocate for their rights for protection and inclusion. A major outcome of this intervention was the development of a Disability Policy for Somaliland and Puntland.

Through these projects, various aspects of inclusive humanitarian action (IHA) have been explored including on how to collect quality data on disability, inclusive communication and exposure to various frameworks such as the IASC guidelines on inclusion of persons with disabilities in humanitarian action and the CRPD. The interest of humanitarian/ mainstream actors about disability inclusion has been raised and continues to gain momentum. These interventions are also designed to produce some lessons learned and good practices for replication in future, and to influence more actors towards being more inclusive in their response.

The Inclusive Humanitarian Action Specialist is under direct line management of Somaliland & Somalia Country Manager and works closely with the Project Manager, Project Officers and MEAL officer for supporting quality implementation of project.

This position is a dynamic one, hosted by Somalia country program, but supports South Sudan and Uganda, based on needs, linked to the global IHA projects funded by German Federal office (GFFO) and ECHO.
