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.

Purpose of the consultancy The purpose of this consultancy is to draft, based on the existing WHO SSP manual, a standardized SSP Evaluation Guideline, Checklist and Procedure for use by WHO and Member States in assessing the technical quality and WHO-alignment of Sanitation Safety Plans (SSP), compile technical materials and prepare inputs for organizing a Regional Workshop on Wastewater Environmental Surveillance, and to support and co-facilitate a WASH FIT Training of Trainers (TOT) workshop in Pakistan. This will be executed as part of the Climate Change, Health and Environment unit (CHE) within the Healthier Populations Department (HPD) at WHO/EMRO. Background SSP is the approach recommended by WHO to support the implementation of the WHO Guidelines on sanitation and health and guidelines on safe use of wastewater, excreta and greywater at the local level. SSP complement Water Safety Plans (WSPs) in protecting public health. WHO/EMRO's Climate Change, Health and Environment (CHE) unit supports Member States of the Eastern Mediterranean Region in adopting and applying these tools, including through advocacy, training and direct technical engagement with national authorities and water utilities. Following the successful Water Safety Forum held in Oman in 2025, including the training on WSP, and the subsequent several rounds of strategic planning meetings held with Oman's counterparts, including a visit to WHO/EMRO/CHE in Amman during which the WHO SSP tool was introduced in 2025, Oman's counterparts, represented by NAMA Water Services Company, showed strong interest in adopting the tool and subsequently developed their first draft of SSP. NAMA Water Services Company has since requested an independent evaluation from WHO to ensure the plan's alignment with the WHO SSP manual. This request has highlighted the need for a standardized SSP evaluation methodology that WHO and Member States can apply consistently when assessing SSPs across the Region. Wastewater and Environmental Surveillance (WES) is a public health surveillance approach that uses wastewater samples to detect and monitor circulating or emerging pathogens at the population level. It complements clinical surveillance systems by enabling early outbreak detection, informing targeted public health interventions, and assessing their effectiveness. WHO has developed a technical guidance package and decision-support tool to assist national authorities in prioritizing pathogens for WES based on public health relevance, technical and operational feasibility, acceptability, and opportunities for integration with existing surveillance systems. WHO/EMRO/CHE is organizing a Regional Workshop on WES, bringing together countries from the region to strengthen national capacities, promote peer learning, facilitate pathogen prioritization using WHO tools, and support the integration of WES into national surveillance, preparedness and decision-making systems. The Water and Sanitation for Health Facility Improvement Tool (WASH FIT) is a risk-based quality improvement framework developed by WHO and UNICEF to support health care facilities in assessing and improving WASH, infection prevention and control, environmental cleaning and health-care waste management, with a focus on continuous quality improvement. WHO/EMRO supports Member States in strengthening WASH in health care facilities through capacity-building and the use of WASH FIT. A WASH FIT Training of Trainers (TOT) workshop is planned in Pakistan to strengthen national capacity to apply and cascade the tool, for which technical support and co-facilitation will be provided under this consultancy. WHO/EMRO therefore requires the services of a consultant to draft, based on the existing WHO SSP manual, standardized SSP Evaluation Guideline, Checklist and Procedure, compile technical materials and prepare inputs for the regional workshop on WES, and support and co-facilitate the WASH FIT TOT workshop in Pakistan. Work to be performed Output 1: A standardized SSP Evaluation Guideline, Checklist and Procedure, based on the WHO SSP manual, for use by WHO country offices and Member States in assessing SSP, tailored to EMR. Deliverable 2:1: A first draft of the SSP Evaluation Guideline, Checklist and Procedure, with measurable assessment criteria structured around the core components of the WHO SSP manual. Deliverable 2:2: Finalized SSP Evaluation Guideline, Checklist and Procedure, following review by WHO/EMRO/CHE, in a format suitable for use by WHO and Member States. Output 2: Technical support and assistance in organizing and facilitating the Regional Workshop on Wastewater Environmental Surveillance. Deliverable 2:1: Technical inputs provided to the preparation and follow-up of the workshop, including the agenda, potential speakers, discussion topics, expected outputs, and key messages. Deliverable 2:2: Compiled technical materials and presentation slides, and coordinated technical sessions and group work, including panel discussions & world café-style poster presentations.

Purpose of the consultancy The purpose of this consultancy is to draft, based on the existing WHO SSP manual, a standardized SSP Evaluation Guideline, Checklist and Procedure for use by WHO and Member States in assessing the technical quality and WHO-alignment of Sanitation Safety Plans (SSP), compile technical materials and prepare inputs for organizing a Regional Workshop on Wastewater Environmental Surveillance, and to support and co-facilitate a WASH FIT Training of Trainers (TOT) workshop in Pakistan. This will be executed as part of the Climate Change, Health and Environment unit (CHE) within the Healthier Populations Department (HPD) at WHO/EMRO. Background SSP is the approach recommended by WHO to support the implementation of the WHO Guidelines on sanitation and health and guidelines on safe use of wastewater, excreta and greywater at the local level. SSP complement Water Safety Plans (WSPs) in protecting public health. WHO/EMRO's Climate Change, Health and Environment (CHE) unit supports Member States of the Eastern Mediterranean Region in adopting and applying these tools, including through advocacy, training and direct technical engagement with national authorities and water utilities. Following the successful Water Safety Forum held in Oman in 2025, including the training on WSP, and the subsequent several rounds of strategic planning meetings held with Oman's counterparts, including a visit to WHO/EMRO/CHE in Amman during which the WHO SSP tool was introduced in 2025, Oman's counterparts, represented by NAMA Water Services Company, showed strong interest in adopting the tool and subsequently developed their first draft of SSP. NAMA Water Services Company has since requested an independent evaluation from WHO to ensure the plan's alignment with the WHO SSP manual. This request has highlighted the need for a standardized SSP evaluation methodology that WHO and Member States can apply consistently when assessing SSPs across the Region. Wastewater and Environmental Surveillance (WES) is a public health surveillance approach that uses wastewater samples to detect and monitor circulating or emerging pathogens at the population level. It complements clinical surveillance systems by enabling early outbreak detection, informing targeted public health interventions, and assessing their effectiveness. WHO has developed a technical guidance package and decision-support tool to assist national authorities in prioritizing pathogens for WES based on public health relevance, technical and operational feasibility, acceptability, and opportunities for integration with existing surveillance systems. WHO/EMRO/CHE is organizing a Regional Workshop on WES, bringing together countries from the region to strengthen national capacities, promote peer learning, facilitate pathogen prioritization using WHO tools, and support the integration of WES into national surveillance, preparedness and decision-making systems. The Water and Sanitation for Health Facility Improvement Tool (WASH FIT) is a risk-based quality improvement framework developed by WHO and UNICEF to support health care facilities in assessing and improving WASH, infection prevention and control, environmental cleaning and health-care waste management, with a focus on continuous quality improvement. WHO/EMRO supports Member States in strengthening WASH in health care facilities through capacity-building and the use of WASH FIT. A WASH FIT Training of Trainers (TOT) workshop is planned in Pakistan to strengthen national capacity to apply and cascade the tool, for which technical support and co-facilitation will be provided under this consultancy. WHO/EMRO therefore requires the services of a consultant to draft, based on the existing WHO SSP manual, standardized SSP Evaluation Guideline, Checklist and Procedure, compile technical materials and prepare inputs for the regional workshop on WES, and support and co-facilitate the WASH FIT TOT workshop in Pakistan. Work to be performed Output 1: A standardized SSP Evaluation Guideline, Checklist and Procedure, based on the WHO SSP manual, for use by WHO country offices and Member States in assessing SSP, tailored to EMR.

Background Emergency medical care and disaster medicine are essential components of Ukraine's health system, ensuring timely pre-hospital care, coordination of the medical response, and safe transfer of patients during routine emergencies, public health emergencies, and incidents involving mass casualties. The effectiveness of the system depends on coordinated dispatch, rapid deployment of emergency medical teams, standardized medical triage, clear patient pathways, continuity of care between pre-hospital and hospital services, and effective interagency cooperation. Ukraine's emergency medical care system is operating under sustained pressure. The ongoing war, repeated mass-casualty incidents, population displacement, damage to critical infrastructure, and changing demands on referral facilities have increased the complexity of dispatch, response, triage, and patient routing. These conditions require regional systems to maintain operational readiness, adapt routes to available capacity, and coordinate effectively with health facilities, emergency services, local authorities, and other relevant actors. Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine Resolution No. 174 of 28 February 2023 provides an important framework for organizing the capable network of health care facilities and planning patient pathways for priority areas. A systematic review of existing routes and their implementation is needed to assess whether patients are directed to facilities with the appropriate functions and capacity, identify operational bottlenecks, and determine where routes, coordination arrangements, or regulatory provisions require clarification or improvement. This assignment will combine joint monitoring visits with the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, analysis of patient pathways, consultations with regional centres for emergency medical care and disaster medicine and other key stakeholders, and a review of the applicable legal, regulatory, and organizational framework. Particular attention will be given to preparedness for and response to emergencies and mass-casualty incidents, including dispatch, emergency medical team response, medical triage, routing, and interagency coordination. The findings will inform a consolidated analytical review and practical recommendations to improve the efficiency, consistency, and resilience of the system.
