And we never give up.

**For every child, **_health_**

**How can you make a difference?**

**Background**

The Latin America and Caribbean region hosts 4.6 million Venezuelan migrants (mostly in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Peru and Trinidad & Tobago), and is also home to about 16 million (TBC) migrants in Central America and Mexico. These migrants have varying degrees of access to primary health care services, depending on the country and on their documentation status. Several infectious diseases are endemic in the region, and outbreaks of vaccine preventable diseases like measles and diphtheria have been reported in the past few years; although not necessarily linked to migration. UNICEF supports governments with the response to the migration flows with emphasis on children and their families. CDC and UNICEF do not have a comprehensive overview of the extent to which national disease surveillance systems in the destination or transition countries capture information about migrants.

To be able to prevent and address disease outbreaks, countries need to have strong surveillance systems. Migrant populations can be vulnerable to disease outbreaks since their immunization status might not be optimal, they might live in suboptimal situations (high density, low hygiene and suboptimal nutrition) and they might either not have access to (primary) health care services, or might be afraid of accessing such services for fear of being returned to their country of origin. For these reasons, information, including about disease outbreaks, might not be recorded in surveillance systems. It is important to understand the current situation and to strengthen it where needed, based on exchange of experiences and solutions-focused dialogues. The Panamerican Health Organization (PAHO) has studied the situation in Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru (findings still being updated). Information about Central America is not yet documented.

**Purpose of the Assignment**

Under the supervision of the Regional Adviser, Survive & Thrive, and in close coordination with the participating Country Offices, assess the disease surveillance systems in three countries in Central America with a high number of migrants: Costa Rica, Guatemala and Panama.

**Specific Tasks**

The consultant will be expected to prepare a report and Power Point presentation. The elaboration of these products will require the following activities:
1. Drafting of a methodology
2. Interviews with UNICEF Country Office staff in the participating countries (remotely or where possible in person)
3. Interviews with key informants in the participating countries (government officials and others as relevant), and at the regional level (CDC, PAHO, UNHCR and others as relevant) (remotely or where possible in person)
4. Visits to government institutions responsible for disease surveillance and related facilities (including laboratories)
5. Draft a report about the disease surveillance mechanisms in the participating countries, their strengths and weaknesses including the extent to which they cover non-nationals, including (documented and non-documented) migrants, with recommendations for improvement
6. Develop a Power Point presentation with the findings and deliver that in a virtual meeting.

**Expected Results [measurable]**

1. Report about the disease surveillance mechanisms in the participating countries
2. Power point presentation summarizing the contents of the report
