Case Study: Setting up Health Promotion and Community Engagement (HPCE) activities
Mission in Niger: You are involved in the opening of an MSF project which is focusing on sexual and reproductive health (SRH) in northern Niger. You are the first HPCE Manager in the project. The target population is both the internally displaced communities living in several camps both inside and outside the regional capital of 300.000 inhabitants, and the local population living in the city and its suburbs. Among the displaced there are the communities from the same province as well as the communities who have crossed over from neighboring Chad. Those recognized as refugees (coming from Chad) live in camps with some level of assistance and camp management, the IDPs from Niger live dire conditions in makeshift camps without assistance.
Your line manager - medical responsible and the project coordinator have asked you to set up a HPCE to support the access to health care, antenatal and postnatal care (ANC and PNC), and family planning for the target population. You have just recruited 2 HP teams. It is a 3-year project. Answer the following questions:
A. What are the first four priority activities that you will carry out?
B. Which obstacles/challenges do you see and what are your proposals to overcome them?
C. What means will you put in a place to ensure the quality follow-up and monitoring of these activities?
D. How will you implement data collection, analysis, and reporting mechanism to translate the findings into operations?
E. How will you engage all the communities to actively participate in the discussion and contribute their feedback to the new HPCE strategy?
F. What mechanisms will you put in place to provide on-going community/patients/stakeholders feedback and how you will you ensure that feedback will be translated into appropriate response and activities?
