Purpose of consultancy This consultancy will support the HIV response in Fiji related to the area of information technology and digital systems and using data for impact. Background The HIV situation in Fiji has changed in recent years, with more infections linked to new patterns of risk. Injecting drug use, especially with methamphetamine, has become more common, and many people who inject drugs share needles because there are no harm reduction services such as needle and syringe programmes or opioid substitution therapy. This gap has created a fast route of transmission in some communities. At the same time, many people are still being diagnosed late, testing does not always reach those most at risk, and stigma continues to discourage early care. The national response from the Fijian government is focusing on broadening testing options, improving access to treatment, and strengthening surveillance and laboratory systems. Community groups now play a larger role in reaching people who do not access formal health services. There is also continued work to better connect HIV, STI, Hepatitis and TB services so that people can get what they need in one place and stay in care. Digital systems and information technology are increasingly central to effective HIV surveillance, especially when an epidemic is expanding and timely data is needed to guide the response. Well-maintained digital platforms enable timely case reporting, tracking of testing and treatment outcomes, smooth data flow between clinics and laboratories, and early identification of gaps across the cascade of care. Reliable databases also support modelling, forecasting and resource planning as programmes scale up. In an emerging HIV epidemic, investing in strong IT systems, secure data architecture, user training and ongoing system maintenance ensures that information is complete, consistent and actionable, allowing health authorities to target interventions quickly and effectively.

Purpose of the consultancy

To provide technical support to the multi-communicable disease elimination (MCDE) initiative in the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR).

This includes compiling and reviewing technical input to support the finalization of the EMRO MCDE framework; conducting reviews and compiling information to support the implementation of the MCDE Resolution, including on cross-border collaboration and the investment case; compiling information to support country-level MCDE planning and dialogues; and providing technical input to the MCDE regional portal/dashboard and to the integration of climate-sensitive indicators and climate-epidemiological information into surveillance systems

Background

The Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR) carries a high burden of multiple communicable diseases, including hepatitis, malaria, neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), tuberculosis (TB) and mother-to-child transmission of HIV, syphilis and hepatitis B, which together accounted for more than 8 million disability-adjusted life years in 2023. National elimination efforts remain largely vertical and fragmented, progress is uneven and vulnerable to reversal, and elimination cannot be sustained in one country while neighboring countries remain reservoirs of transmission.

Elimination is further challenged by drug and insecticide resistance, invasive vectors and the growing impact of climate change, as floods, droughts and extreme weather alter transmission and disrupt services, and by population mobility, mass gatherings, protracted conflict and humanitarian crises. Disease elimination therefore has to be pursued as a shared regional commitment rather than a national objective alone.

In response, WHO EMRO has launched a regional Multi-Communicable Disease Elimination (MCDE) initiative to integrate interventions across disease-specific programmes, harmonize service delivery and accelerate measurable progress at national, subnational and cross-border levels. At the request of the Regional Committee (RC73) Sub-committee, a Technical Paper and Resolution on a multi-disease elimination architecture for communicable diseases will be presented at RC73 in 2026. The paper, developed through two consultations with Member States and experts, includes an initial MCDE heatmap and framework to be refined with further evidence and expert consensus and finalized as an EMRO strategy document after adoption. The next phase after RC73 will be to publish an EMRO document including the MCDE approach and full framework, and to implement the recommendations to the Regional Director included in the Resolution.

Climate change is a direct determinant of progress towards elimination for several MCDE priority diseases, in particular malaria and vector-borne NTDs. Resolution EM/RC72/R.6 (2025) and the operational action plan for climate change and health 2026 to 2030 call for the integration of climate information into national disease surveillance and early warning, with progress reported from RC74 in 2027. The Climate Change, Health and Environment (CHE) unit is developing country guidance on integrating climate and disease surveillance, a regional implementation dashboard and national vulnerability and adaptation assessments in priority countries; these workstreams, in progress, provide the entry point for aligning the MCDE initiative with climate-informed surveillance.
