**1.** **Purpose of consultancy**
The purpose of the consultancy is to support the development of Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) during mass gathering for early detection, verification, risk assessment and communication of acute public health events. In addition, the consultant will also enhance the existing SOP for emergency response. He/she will pilot test the SOPs at the Regional and WCO levels. The consultant will also be required to assist the Public Health Intelligence (PHI) team in all aspects of detection, verification and risk assessment and develop Situation Reports when needed.
**2.** **Background**
The mission of WHO's Health Emergencies Programme (The Programme) is to build the capacity of Member States to manage health emergency risks and, when national capacities are overwhelmed, to lead and coordinate the international health response to contain outbreaks and to provide effective relief and recovery to affected populations.
The Health Emergency Information and Risk Assessment (HIM) Unit is responsible for identifying new public health events, assessing risks to public health, conducting epidemiological surveillance and field investigations, monitoring public health interventions, and communicating public health information to technical partners.
The HIM Unit is also in charge of the communication with the International Health Regulations (IHR) National Focal Points (NFPs): as Regional Contact Point, the Unit receives notifications of public health events from IRH NFPs and sends them request for verification when a signal or an event is detected.
Under the HIM Unit is the Public Health Intelligence (PHI) Team which is at the forefront of rapidly identifying emerging public health threats, assessing the risks and communicating them. This enables timely response and strategies to address critical needs and avoid further morbidity and mortality. The key to deliver this crucial task is to identify signals within 24 hours, verify, risk assess and communicate and manage these acute public health events. The team systematically uses the Epidemic Intelligence from Open Source (EIOS) and other social media platforms in collecting relevant information that may have potential to international public health. Apart from the routine detection, the PHI is also in charge of detection and risk assessment of acute public health events during mass gatherings. In this regard, it is high time to develop the SOPs that can be used during such events and pilot test the SOP. In this regard, a consultant with technical expertise on implementing surveillance in big mass gatherings and in acute emergencies is requested.
**3.** **Work to be performed**
Under the direct supervisor of** **Team Lead, Detection, Verification and Risk Assessment, Health Emergency Information and Risk Assessment Unit and overall guidance of the Program Area Manager, Health Emergency Information and Risk Assessment Unit, the Consultant will be responsible for the following outputs/deliverables:
