Background

PCI is looking for two Arabic speaking Consultants to support Phases 2 and 3 of a project to “Strengthen Health Systems and Pandemic Response In Libya” (SHSPR). The consultants will co-develop primary care training materials and co-facilitate two x 5-day Primary Health Care Training of Trainer (ToT) workshops in Tunis, for groups of lead trainers from the Libyan Ministry of Health, Primary Health Care Institute (PHCI) and staff working at primary and secondary healthcare levels. They will also co-develop a supervision and mentoring plan for the trained lead trainers and facilitate remote supervision of the lead trainers as they cascade training to other colleagues working in primary and secondary level health care facilities. This work will be undertaken over the period September 2024 – February 2025.

The consultants will work closely with two PCI Project Leads who are providing technical guidance and leadership to the remaining two phases of the project. A National Libyan-based Consultant has supported the implementation of a baseline and needs assessment under the first phase of the project and will continue to support the roll out of cascade training by the trained lead trainers in Libya.

1. Drawing on findings from the Phase 1 needs and capacity assessment, develop a plan for producing appropriate training content for the two ToT workshops within an agreed timeframe (some material can be adapted, some will need to be written).

4. Prepare for, co-facilitate and complete evaluation reports for two 5-day ToT workshops in Tunis planned for November 2024 (14 days)
