Consultancy to Support Training need Assessment
Key Responsibilities:
SHIFT-TB is a 48-month project funded by L’Initiative/Expertise France. SHIFT-TB aims to strengthen Cambodian health systems through community-based, population-wide active case finding for TB and integrated services addressing TB risk factors. The project employs a comprehensive strategy based on the WHO health system building blocks framework. Key elements include multisectoral collaborations, where partnerships are strengthened across national and local authorities, NGOs, and civil society organisations. Capacity building is emphasised through tailored training programs that empower healthcare providers and community members to co-lead and co-implement TB case finding and integrated health services. The TB Management Information System (TB-MIS) will be decentralised to enhance data collection and reporting at the primary care level. The project develops care models emphasising collaboration, capacity building, and service integration at the primary and community care levels. These models aim to improve healthcare access by reducing barriers and providing community-based TB care alongside interventions for associated risk factors.
Tailored training plans for SHI FT-TB participants will be developed based on insights from the initial assessment and delivered by local experts (e.g., Ministry of Health, National Institutes of Public Health) and international experts (e.g., the University of Sydney, National University of Singapore). Therefore, conducting training needs assessment among target groups—healthcare providers, community health workers, and key populations—is crucial at the baseline. Involving these groups ensures diverse perspectives across gender, seniority levels, and healthcare roles, helping to identify key skill gaps and priority training areas for program development.
