Madagascar’s Ministry of Health (MSANP) has developed a new Health Sector Development Plan (PDSS) to guide health sector priorities over the coming years. Madagascar’s 2025–2029 PDSS serves as the national strategic framework for improving population health by strengthening health systems, ensuring equitable access to services, and advancing Universal Health Coverage.

The overall objective of the consultancy is to produce a complete, accurate, and actionable costing of the PDSS, including scenario-based analyses and an assessment of financing gaps. Specifically, the consultant shall develop a participatory costing methodology aligned with best international tools (e.g., OneHealth Tool or equivalent); establish benchmarks, leading to comprehensive costing PDSS strategic pillars, programs, and system-strengthening activities; identify funding gaps based on projected domestic and external resources; and propose actionable recommendations for prioritization and financial sustainability over the next 5 years.

UNICEF is supporting the Government of Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) in implementing the ATscale-supported
project titled “Unlock Healthy Learning in the Pacific: Improving access to assistive technology and related
rehabilitation services for school-aged children”, with a view to increasing access to vision, hearing, and mobility
assistive technology (AT) for school-aged children. The project aims to screen approximately 15,000 children and
provide appropriate assistive products and services to approximately 1,500 school-aged children in FSM. In parallel,
the project will strengthen national systems by establishing functional multi-sectoral referral pathways, building
workforce capacity, and improving supply chains through a unified regional approach featuring pooled procurement
and harmonized standards.
In FSM, access to hearing and ear care (HEC) services remains limited. The burden of hearing impairment and ear
disease is not well documented, reflecting limited routine screening, diagnostic capacity, and data systems. Service
provision is constrained by shortages of trained personnel and limited availability of essential equipment and tools for
screening, diagnosis, and treatment. As a result, many children with hearing and ear conditions are not identified or do
not receive timely and appropriate care, with implications for their learning and development.
La Convention Internationale relative aux droits de l'enfant (CDE) est le socle juridique
international qui garantit à chaque enfant le droit d'être protégé contre toutes les formes de violence, de maltraitance, de négligence et d'exploitation. Pour atteindre les cibles des ODD en matière de protection de l'enfant et garantir que « personne ne soit laissé de côté », les résultats de l’impact 3 et 4 du Plan stratégique de l'UNICEF 2026-2029 visent « 100 millions d’enfants en moins dans la pauvreté multidimensionnelle » et « 350 millions d’enfants protégés contre la
violence » d’ici 2029. Conformément à la CDE, les pays ont l’obligation de prendre des mesures pour garantir que les enfants soient protégés et pris en charge par un personnel qualifié. Le corps de travail des services
sociaux joue un rôle central dans le soutien aux enfants et à leurs familles. Cet effectif est composé
d'une grande diversité de professionnels aux rôles et fonctions variés, mais qui partagent tous un
objectif commun : protéger, soutenir, promouvoir et autonomiser les personnes vulnérables.
Le corps de travail des services sociaux constitue souvent la première ligne d'intervention pour les
enfants et les familles, et le soutien ainsi que les services qu'ils proposent peuvent littéralement transformer des vies. Des professionnels qualifiés en travail social sont essentiels pour coordonner les efforts et les ressources ainsi que pour garantir des réponses adaptées aux besoins des plus vulnérables.
Investir dans ces professionnels garantit un retour sur investissement élevé pour la protection de l'enfant. À l'inverse, le manque d'investissement dans les effectifs des services sociaux compromettra tous les autres efforts visant à renforcer durablement le système de protection de l'enfant.
