UNFPA Malawi Country Office is committed to deliver results outlined in the 8
th Country Programme that starts from 2019 and lasts till 2023, with clear
outcomes in the areas of a) sexual and reproductive health/rights, b)
adolescents and youth, c) gender equality and women’s empowerment, and d)
population dynamics. UNFPA Malawi is also a part of the United Nations Country
Team (UNCT) and operates under United Nations Sustainable Development
Cooperation Framework (UNSCDF) 2019-2023, fully embracing the UN development
system reforms and stepping up its system wide support for the Government of
Malawi.
In 2021, the UN joint programme on health system strengthening (Umoyo Wathu)
is launched with the funding from the UK’s Foreign Commonwealth and
Development Office (FCDO). In this programme, UNFPA leads on the health
facility based technical support in areas related to sexual reproductive
health services. This programme includes key interventions to protect women
and girls from sexual violence such as clinical care and referral to other
supportive services available for survivors of sexual violence and putting in
place confidential and safe spaces within health facilities.
UNFPA Country Office also manages other on-going programmes such as the
Spotlight Initiative, a UN joint programme funded by European Union, tackling
gender-based violence (GBV) in six districts, 2gether4SRHR programme funded by
Sweden, and the SRHR project funded by Iceland with a geographic focus on the
Mangochi district – all of which are geared towards promoting integrated
service delivery across SRHR, HIV/AIDS and GBV. Moreover, UNFPA plays a key
role in humanitarian response and preparedness in terms of GBV, leading GBV
Sub-cluster under the Protection Cluster as well as ensuring close linkages
with the SRH components of Health Cluster response.
Furthermore, mainstreaming Protection from Sexual Exploitation and Abuse
(PSEA) in these and other programmes is a priority. It is important for UNFPA
to ensure its compliance to the organisation’s PSEA obligations in terms of
prevention, response/reporting, and assistance for the victims, but also to
support its partners fulfil its responsibilities with regards to PSEA. In
addition, at the UNCT level, UNFPA is leading the PSEA Core Group consisting
with UNHCR, WFP, UNICEF, UN Women and RCO, which is tasked to develop and lead
the annual inter-agency PSEA action plans.
Therefore, UNFPA needs to strengthen its own capacity to effectively promote
linkages between SRHR, GBV and PSEA in these flagship programmes while it also
champions the PSEA agenda as the lead agency in this domain. It is against
this backdrop, that an extra expertise, in the form of a consultancy,
supplementing the existing Country Office capacity is required.
