Inter-agency Global Evaluation of RH Services for Refugees and IDPs Component 4 Part B: Assessment of the Minimum Initial Service Package (MISP) of Reproductive Health for Sudanese Refugees in Chad UNFPA Women’s Commission for Refugee Women and Children

Purpose The purpose of this assessment was to determine the availability and quality of emergency response to the reproductive health needs of refugees

Methodology Refugee crisis in Eastern Chad chosen based on the following criteria: – Recent acute emergency involving refugees with an affected minimum population of 20,000 – Involvement of non-functioning infrastructures – Presence of (UN) coordinated humanitarian response activities – presence of IAWG agency field staff willing to facilitate travel – Visa and security clearance easily obtainable Assessment conducted in April camps and 4 IDP setting visited

Evaluation Tools Tools developed by study team, based on Inter-agency Field Manual and RHRC Consortium’s Needs Assessments Field Tools: – Semi-structured field staff interview questionnaire – Focus group discussion guide for refugee community interviews – Observational resource and services checklist – Assessment site basic information form

Findings Most humanitarian actors in Chad unfamiliar with MISP Did not know the MISP’s overall goal, key objectives and priority activities No overall RH coordinator Only one agency had an identified RH focal point Limited overall coordination of humanitarian situation No routine coordination of health or RH activities

Prevent and Manage Sexual Violence Some activities in some camps for the prevention of sexual violence Protection needs of majority of refugees were unmet No UN protection officers, focal points or reporting mechanisms INGOs had codes of conduct but local NGOs did not Clinical protocols said to be followed but were rarely available Lack of systematic interventions to address needs of vulnerable groups

Reduce Transmission of HIV Priority activities to prevent transmission of HIV/AIDS nonexistent or limited Grossly inadequate supplies for universal precautions in national health structures INGOs adequately supplied for universal precautions and to provide teaching to local staff but no written protocols in place Free condoms not visible or available

Reduce Neonatal and Maternal Morbidity and Mortality Priority interventions were not in place Pregnant women were not provided clean delivery kits INGOs said to provide TBAs and midwives with clean delivery kits but lack of supplies reported Lack of equipment, supplies, skills to provide basic EmOC: – Basic EmOC provided by only one NGO – Poor referral system and limited emergency transport

Planning for Comprehensive RH Services No evidence of specific planning for comprehensive RH services Bypassing MISP interventions (e.g. EmOC) to establish services such as ANC Planning HIV/AIDS awareness campaigns before ensuring condom availability Training TBAs and midwives before informing community about urgent referrals Giving little attention to family planning, STI management, and youth

Limitations Geographically wide scattering of refugee population and camps Unfavourable road conditions and restricted travel times Limited time with field staff Translation/interpreters not ideal Limited time to pretest evaluation tools

Recommendations (Applicable to Any Emergency) All IAWG members should increase awareness and understanding of the MISP among humanitarian actors: – Develop user-friendly learning materials – Conduct trainings – Ensure MISP standards reflected in grant proposals aimed at responding to emergencies

Recommendations (cont’d) Assure that health coordination is in place and appoint RH focal point early in emergency Identify an RH focal point in each site for coordination of MISP Allocate funds to support MISP activities in all settings and ensure coordination with national governments Maintain a network of experienced RH coordinators Facilitate ordering and distribution of RH Kits
