مصر, Egypt World Health Organization Full time

**Contractual Arrangement***: External consultant

**Contract Duration (Years, Months, Days)***: 3 months

**Job Posting***: Jul 2, 2023, 6:01:39 AM

**Closing Date***: Jul 9, 2023, 4:59:00 PM

**Primary Location***: Egypt-Cairo

**Organization***: EM/WHE WHO Health Emergencies Programme (WHE)

**Schedule***: Full-time

**Purpose of the Consultancy**

To provide technical support to enhance the capacities of the countries in the Eastern Mediterranean Region related to Points of Entry (PoE) and international travel.

**Background**

The mission of WHO's Health Emergencies Program 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.

Points of Entry (PoE) serve as the key conduits for international travel, transport, and trade, (representing airports, seaports, and ground crossings), and therefore their capacities and resources must be in place for routine operations, as well as to meet the exigencies required in response to public health emergencies. Data from both the Joint External Evaluations (JEE) and IHR States Parties Annual Reporting (SPAR) nevertheless indicate that PoE capacities consistently rank amongst the lowest, both Regionally and globally. In response, countries have developed National Action Plans for Health Security (NAPHS) to prioritize and address these identified gaps, including those pertaining to the Points of Entry.

During the initial months of the COVID-19 pandemic, capacities at Points of Entry became categorically strained as countries faced large numbers of passengers under repatriation efforts, and the need to adequately equip PoE with the proper resources became apparent. As countries in the Eastern Mediterranean have been gradually resuming their international commercial operations, ensuring these key capacities outlined within the International Health Regulations (IHR) in Annex 1B has gained significant political will and traction across sectors to be maintained and enhanced.

The objective of this assignment is to provide Points of Entry technical support to enhance the capacity of the countries in the Eastern Mediterranean Region. By leveraging expertise and resources, the consultancy seeks to strengthen the capacities of PoE and facilitate the implementation of risk-based approach public health measures to effectively manage public health emergencies in the EMR. The ultimate aim is to contribute to the overall health security and resilience of the region, and ensuring safe and international travel, and trade
