Consultant national : Composante Santé publique / santé-environnement / épidémiologie / adaptation du secteur de la santé au changement climatique - (2604660) Contractual Arrangement: External consultant Contract Duration (Years, Months, Days): 45 jours Job Posting : Oct 27, 2026, 6:46:42 AM Closing Date : Nov 9, 2026, 5:59:00 PM Primary Location : Burkina Faso-Ouagadougou Organization : AF_BFA Burkina Faso Schedule : Full-time IMPORTANT NOTICE: Please note that the deadline for receipt of applications indicated above reflects your personal device's system settings. ... Area of expertise Santé publique / santé-environnement / épidémiologie / adaptation du secteur de la santé au changement climatique. Purpose of consultancy Conduire la composante santé publique et planification stratégique de l’Évaluation nationale de la Vulnérabilité et de l’Adaptation (EVA) du secteur de la santé aux changements climatiques et coordonner l’élaboration du nouveau Plan National d’Adaptation (PNA) Santé, en collaboration avec le consultant national n°2. Background Le changement climatique constitue aujourd’hui l’une des principales menaces pour la santé publique à l’échelle mondiale. Les modifications des températures, les perturbations des régimes pluviométriques, les événements climatiques extrêmes ainsi que la dégradation des ressources naturelles influencent directement et indirectement l’état sanitaire des populations, compromettant leur bien-être et accentuant les fragilités sanitaires existantes. Au Burkina Faso, le changement climatique représente une menace grandissante pour la santé publique en raison des chocs thermiques extrêmes, de l’irrégularité des précipitations et de la fréquence accrue des événements climatiques extrêmes tels que les sécheresses et les inondations. Ces perturbations favorisent l’expansion des maladies sensibles au climat, notamment le paludisme ou la dengue, les maladies diarrhéiques et les infections respiratoires aiguës, tout en aggravant l’insécurité alimentaire et la malnutrition. Conscient de ces enjeux, le Burkina Faso a adhéré aux initiatives mondiales visant à renforcer la résilience du secteur de la santé face aux changements climatiques. Le pays a signé la Déclaration d’engagement en faveur de systèmes de santé résilients au climat lors de la COP26. Toutefois, les principaux documents stratégiques nationaux nécessitent une actualisation : la dernière Évaluation de la Vulnérabilité et de l’Adaptation (EVA) du secteur de la santé face aux changements climatiques a été réalisée en 2017, tandis que le Plan National d’Adaptation (PNA) du secteur de la santé couvre la période 2014-2015. Conformément aux orientations retenues dans le TDR de référence, l’élaboration du nouveau PNA Santé sera précédée par une EVA permettant d’identifier les risques sanitaires liés au climat, d’analyser les capacités actuelles du système de santé et de définir les mesures prioritaires d’adaptation. Le ministère de la Santé, avec l’appui technique et financier de l’OMS, prévoit à cet effet le recrutement de deux consultants nationaux aux profils complémentaires.

Purpose of consultancy Conduire la composante climatologique, géospatiale et d’analyse des données de l’Évaluation nationale de la Vulnérabilité et de l’Adaptation (EVA) du secteur de la santé aux changements climatiques et fournir les analyses techniques nécessaires à l’élaboration du nouveau Plan National d’Adaptation (PNA) Santé, en collaboration avec le consultant national n°1. Background Le changement climatique constitue aujourd’hui l’une des principales menaces pour la santé publique à l’échelle mondiale. Les modifications des températures, les perturbations des régimes pluviométriques, les événements climatiques extrêmes ainsi que la dégradation des ressources naturelles influencent directement et indirectement l’état sanitaire des populations, compromettant leur bien-être et accentuant les fragilités sanitaires existantes. Au Burkina Faso, le changement climatique représente une menace grandissante pour la santé publique en raison des chocs thermiques extrêmes, de l’irrégularité des précipitations et de la fréquence accrue des événements climatiques extrêmes tels que les sécheresses et les inondations. Ces perturbations favorisent l’expansion des maladies sensibles au climat, notamment le paludisme ou la dengue, les maladies diarrhéiques et les infections respiratoires aiguës, tout en aggravant l’insécurité alimentaire et la malnutrition. Conscient de ces enjeux, le Burkina Faso a adhéré aux initiatives mondiales visant à renforcer la résilience du secteur de la santé face aux changements climatiques. Le pays a signé la Déclaration d’engagement en faveur de systèmes de santé résilients au climat lors de la COP26. Toutefois, les principaux documents stratégiques nationaux nécessitent une actualisation : la dernière Évaluation de la Vulnérabilité et de l’Adaptation (EVA) du secteur de la santé face aux changements climatiques a été réalisée en 2017, tandis que le Plan National d’Adaptation (PNA) du secteur de la santé couvre la période 2014-2015.

Collecter, compiler, traiter et mettre à disposition les données hydro-climatiques et climat-santé nécessaires à l’EVA. Réaliser les analyses climatiques et spatiales nécessaires, notamment la gestion des géodatabases, le traitement des séries temporelles météorologiques, la télédétection et la modélisation spatiale, selon les besoins de l’EVA. Produire les éléments cartographiques et les diagnostics de vulnérabilité/résilience fondés sur les données climatiques et géospatiales nécessaires à l’analyse du secteur de la santé. Contribuer à la validation des données de l’EVA et du PNA et documenter les méthodes, sources et traitements appliqués aux données. Contribuer au rapport provisoire puis final de l’EVA, notamment pour les sections relatives aux aléas, expositions, données climatiques, analyses spatiales et risques. Apporter les éléments techniques climatologiques et géospatiaux nécessaires à l’élaboration du draft 0 puis de la version finalisée du nouveau PNA Santé.
