POSTE 2

Consultant

PURPOSE

The Violence Injuries and disability unit in AFRO is committed to reducing the burden of injuries and death, particularly drowning as a public health issue in the region and to do so needs to gain a better understanding of drowning patterns and drowning prevention policies and interventions. The purpose of this project is to enable AFRO to conduct a ‘deep-dive’ into the drowning situation in four selected countries to identify existing appetite for drowning prevention and investigate whether tools and methodology used for the SEAR/WPR status reports would be transferrable to the African regional context. It will also assess available resources and capacity within WHO in the African Region for participation in this type of global exercise.

BACKGROUND

WHO Global Estimates from 2019 report that more than 38,000 people drown each year in WHO African Region, with 77% of mortality occurring among children aged under the age of 15 years[1]. These estimates significantly underreport the true burden of drowning in Africa as accurate data on drowning is either unavailable or is severely underestimated in many countries in the region[2]. An accurate understanding on the impact of drowning in this context is critical to inform the development and implementation of effective interventions and strategies for drowning prevention, as well as promoting the necessary visibility and prioritization of the issue. Bloomberg Philanthropies is supporting the WHO to conduct a scoping exercise to assess regional interest and readiness in the development of a Global Status Report on Drowning Prevention. WHO believes a Global Status Report on Drowning Prevention will be instrumental to informing and scaling-up national, regional, and global advocacy for action in this neglected public health issue. The work will include the four WHO Regions who have not yet conducted a regional status report on drowning prevention: Africa (AFR), Eastern Mediterranean (EMR), Europe (EUR) and the Americas (PAHO).
