OVERVIEW OF THE FUNCTIONS OF THE POST
1. Background and Context
Our
Rights, Our Lives, Our Future (O3 Plus) project seeks to ensure that
young people in higher and tertiary education institutions (HTEIs) in
Tanzania realize positive health, education and gender equality outcomes
through sustained reductions in new HIV infections, unintended
pregnancy and sexual and gender-based violence. The project will thus
enable them to reach their full educational potential and contribute
more effectively to the development of the country and region as
graduates, professionals and young leaders. With support from the
Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency, the project will
be implemented across six campuses of Higher and Tertiary Education
institutions (HTEIs) in Tanzania from August 2021 to December 2022.
Working
closely with relevant regional structures, national ministries, higher
and tertiary education institutions, and key partners, UNESCO will
support innovation in access to Life Skills Based Sexuality Education
and sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services for HTEI students
while advocating for policy and practice changes to make campuses safe
and inclusive learning environments for students and staff. In doing so,
the project will institutionalize health and well-being programs for
students while engaging leadership for long-term commitment and
sustainability.
The work will be delivered through four
complementary pillars or workstreams as follows: institutional
strengthening for sustainability; student health and well-being; safe
and inclusive campus environments; evidence building and
knowledge-sharing platform.
2. Scope of the Health Facility Assessments
The
Health Facility Assessments (HFAs) will be conducted across the 7
campuses of selected Universities within Dar es Salaam, Mbeya, Iringa,
Dodoma, and Zanzibar. The Consultant is expected to develop data
collection tools in line with the methodology and update the existing
Facility Observation Tool, which will be provided by UNESCO as
necessary.
3. Research Questions
The key research questions to be answered by the Health Facility Assessments (HFAs) are:
What
are the existing youth-friendly health services (YFHS) guidelines,
standards and policies in Tanzania? How do the guidelines, standards and
policies align with international guidelines i.e. WHO Global Standards
for Quality Healthcare Services for Adolescents and Youth? Is delivery
of health care services at health facilities in HTEIs in-line with the
guidelines, standards and policies?
What type of services are offered
at health facilities in HTEIs, and what is the quality of these
services as per the existing standards and guidelines? Do the health
facilities have the necessary resources i.e. infrastructure, human
capacity, financial etc to ensure effective service provision? Are there
any guidelines or minimum standards for the infrastructure of health
facilities in tertiary institutions? Which ministry is responsible for
the administration of health facilities in HTEIs? Is there clear
ownership and linkages of the health facilities in HTEIs with the
district, provincial and national level Ministry of Health? What are the
major sources of funding for the HTEIs?
What are the perspectives of
health providers on health service delivery for young people in HTEIs?
What are the perspectives of young people in HTEIs on the health
services provided at the health facilities? What factors enable or
hinder young people’s access to health services at the health facilities
in HTEIs?
How can the health facilities be improved/strengthened to
ensure effective health service provision to young people? What
resources or capacities are required i.e. infrastructure, equipment,
human resources, training, etc.?

Facility Assessments will be expected to commence in August 2021 for an
