1. **Purpose of consultancy**

To support the MNS Unit in coordinating scaling up the implementation of the Global Action Plan on Mental Health (2013-2030) and the Regional Frameworks for Mental Health and Substance Use.

2. **Background**

Mental health and substance abuse problems are public health issues, leading to significant direct, indirect and immeasurable costs. Globally, around 25% of years lived with disability are caused by mental, neurological and substance use disorders. In the past decades, EMRO countries have experienced rapid social, political, and economic change that has resulted in widespread civil unrest and violence and exposed the majority of the population to stress. These factors have contributed to the gradual rise in the rates of MNS disorders in countries of the Eastern Mediterranean Region, from 7% in 2000 to 9.8% in 2019. Since March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the already fraught situation, where more than half of the countries of the EMR were experiencing complex protracted emergencies, with increased rates of mental, neurological, and substance use disorders being witnessed.

The World Health Assembly in 2013 adopted the comprehensive mental health action plan 2013-2020 and in 2019, the Seventy-second World Health Assembly extended the period of the action plan until 2030. In 2015, the 62nd session of the WHO Regional Committee for the Eastern Mediterranean, in resolution EM/RC62/R.5, endorsed the regional framework to scale up action on mental health in the Eastern Mediterranean Region. The regional framework operationalizes the WHO global comprehensive mental health action plan (2013-2030) and constitutes a regional roadmap. In addition in 2019 at the 66th session of the Regional Committee, the Regional Framework for Action to Strengthen the Public Health Response to Substance Use was endorsed by Member States. In January 2021, WHO’s Executive Board also affirmed the cross-cutting nature of MHPSS by stressing the importance of integrating MHPSS into preparedness and response plans for public health emergencies, including COVID-19.

Building on these developments and to translate the current heightened interest and commitment into tangible and sustained action, the mental health unit of the UHC/NMH Department at the Eastern Mediterranean Regional Office of WHO is proposing to recruit a National Consultant to support the implementation of the provisions of the Regional frameworks and the Global action plan 2013-2030.

Start date: 15/02/2024

End date: 31/12/2024

3. **Deliverables**
- The consultant is expected to do the following:_

In close coordination with the Mental Health and Substance Use Unit, the UHC/Noncommunicable Diseases and Mental Health (NMH) Department, at the WHO Regional Office for the Eastern Mediterranean (EMRO), the National Consultant will produce the following deliverables:

- Maintain and regularly update the data of the Civil society organizations in the Member states of the Eastern Mediterranean Region.
- Coordinate with the Communications Department to set up and maintain the Regional mental health coalition portal, and an updated mental health and substance use website of WHO/EMRO.
