Terms of Reference
Provision of Direct Marketing Services for UNICEF Bulgaria


Start date: 01.09.2013

End date: 28.02.2014



  1. BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Since 1946 UNICEF has been the world’s leader for children, represented in more than 190 countries to help children survive and thrive, from early childhood through adolescence. UNICEF supports child health and nutrition, quality basic education for all boys and girls, and the protection of children from violence, exploitation, and AIDS.

 

UNICEF is funded entirely by the voluntary contributions of individuals, businesses, foundations and governments thus UNICEF needs regular funding in order to operate and deliver results for children.



Special focus in terms of fundraising for 2013 in Bulgaria is the area of early childhood development (ECD). UNICEF approach is based both on scientific evidence that survival, growth and development of children cannot effectively be achieved and sustained through partial interventions and on the recognition that children as human beings have inalienable human rights. UNICEF approach to ECD recognizes the pivotal role of families and the need to invest in their capacity to protect and nurture children. Parents generally have the first line of responsibility to provide for a child’s basic needs, to protect the child from harm, and to create a family environment that supports the child’s optimal development. A focus on ECD ensures that the child and family are at the center.

UNICEF programmes in Bulgaria have specific focus on the group of the most disadvantaged children such as children in institutions, children living in poverty and children with disabilities.



In 2013 UNICEF started the development of early childhood development programme “Best start in life” in Shumen region aiming to address the needs of the families of small children. The long-term objective is this pilot program to become a model which will be implemented in other regions of the county.

See the Annex for details on the ECD programme. Additional information on the project is available online at: http://unicef.bg/proekti/Nay-dobar-start-v-zhivota-na-vsyako-dete/18

  • Raise funds from individuals and corporate sectors (presenting the impact and call for action)

  • Engage individuals and companies in long-term support as UNICEF pledge/monthly/regular donors. More information on BLAGODETEL programme for monthly donations is available on: http://unicef.bg/kampanii/Badi-BLAGODETEL-i-daryavay-detstvo/1

PROJECTS OVERVIEW

UNICEF Bulgaria will raise funds via direct marketing activities in 2013 for the following local project:

ПРОГРАМА ЗА РАННО ДЕТСКО РАЗВИТИЕ „НАЙ-ДОБЪР СТАРТ В ЖИВОТА“

През 2013 г. предстои УНИЦЕФ България да открие Център за майчино и детско здраве в област Шумен, който ще предоставя патронажни грижи (домашни посещения) на бременни жени и майки с деца до 3 години.

Вече няколко години УНИЦЕФ работи по закриването на Дома за медико-социални грижи в гр. Шумен, подкрепа на семействата в областта, за да се предотврати изоставянето на деца. Като част от този процес в Шумен, Нови Пазар и Велики Преслав има вече създадени семейно-консултативни центрове, които работят със семейства от рискови общности. Разкриването на Центъра за майчино и детско здраве е естествено продължение на работата  ни до момента, който ще я разшири и допълни. 

Центърът за майчино и детско здраве ще бъде създаден в съществуваща структура от системата на здравеопазване в област Шумен, като например МБАЛ Шумен. Цялостната дейност на центъра (включително необходимия персонал) ще се финансира със средства по проекта.



I.          Същност на дейността на Центъра за майчино и детско здраве

Центърът ще осъществява в област Шумен здравно-информационни, здравно-обучителни, здравно-консултативни, координиращи и насочващи услуги за бременни, родилките и децата до 3 г., с цел подобряване на извънболничното обслужване на тези групи.

Здравните услуги се предоставят от квалифицирани медицински сестри/акушерки в дома на семействата. Дългосрочната цел на центъра е да допринесе за подобряване на някои ключови показатели, свързани със здравето и ранното детско развитие.  

Патронажните сестри от Центъра ще наблюдават здравното състояние на майката и детето от най-ранен стадий на бременността и след раждането, за да разпознаят евентуални проблеми и подпомогнат семейството да получи необходимите грижи и лечение. Една от основните роли на Центъра ще бъде да предоставя здравна информация, консултации за безопасна бременност, подготовка за раждане, помощ в първите грижи за детето, кърмене и хранене стимулиране на развитие и др. въпроси, свързани с отглеждането на малкото дете.
 

II.        Целеви групи

Центърът ще предоставя услуги, насочени към нуждите на бременни и родилки, деца от раждането до навършване на 3 - годишна възраст и членове на техните семейства и подкрепяща среда. Целевите групи ще бъдат обхванати с различни пакети от здравни дейности в зависимост от техните конкретни потребности и медико-социални рискове за здравето и развитието на децата.


Приоритет в работата на Центъра ще бъдат групите в повишен риск.

III        Основни задачи

Центърът ще реализира дейности в изпълнение на следните основи задачи:

•   активно издирване за обхващане на целевите групи с комплекс от здравни и социални услуги в зависимост от потребностите (с приоритет рискови групи);

•   подпомагане достъпа на целевите групи до системата на обществено здравеопазване и социалните услуги;

•   промоция на здраве, превенция и профилактика на болестите;

•   подготовка за родителство и подкрепа за добро родителство;

•   подпомагане отглеждането на децата в семейна среда;

•   подпомагане правилното нервно-психично развитие на детето чрез насърчаване на добри родителски практики;

•   осигуряване на емоционалното и социално развитие на детето и намаляване на  рисковете от изоставяне и насилие чрез подкрепа за изграждане на  привързаност между детето и майката, както и чрез насърчаване на позитивни методи за възпитание;

•   оценка на рисковите фактори в т.ч. и социалните с негативно влияние  върху здравето и развитието на детето и качеството на родителските грижи;

•   ранна интервенция при рискове и проблеми в здравето и развитието на детето;

•   медицински здравни грижи при необходимост.



IV.       Обхват на дейността на Центъра

Основен подход в работата на центъра е патронажната дейност т.е извършване на структурирани посещения в дома на бременните и децата от раждането до навършване на 3 години за провеждане на комплекс от здравни и социални дейности като:

•   наблюдение и оценка на здравното състояние и развитието на бременността (за здравно-неосигурени жени) и на детето, разпознаване на евентуални проблеми и подпомагане на семейството за достъп до необходимите грижи и лечение;

•   предоставяне на здравна информация, съвети и обучение за безопасна бременност, режим и диета по време на бременността,  подготовка за раждане, обгрижване на детето, кърмене и хранене, сън, дневен режим, стимулиране на нервно-психическото развитие и др. въпроси, свързани с бременността или с отглеждането на детето;

•  подкрепа и насърчаване на кърменето;

•  консултиране по въпросите на семейното планиране, сексуалното и репродуктивното здраве;

•   наблюдение на санитарно-хигиенните, противоепидемичните и профилактични  грижи за опазване здравето на детето и предлагане на съвети и препоръки за тяхното подобряване;

•  оценка на медико-социалните и поведенчески фактори в семейната среда с негативно влияние върху бременността и отглеждането на детето и предприемане на мерки за тяхното отстраняване (напр. консултиране и мотивиране на родителите за промяна на рисково поведение, като тютюнопушене и злоупотреба с алкохол, здравословно хранене и др.);

•    насочване и подкрепа за имунизация и скрининг за различни заболявания;

•    разпознаване на белези на насилие (вкл. неглижиране) и риск от изоставяне и предприемане на действия за информиране на компетентните власти.

•    оценка на грижите за стимулиране на когнитивното развитие на детето чрез общуване, говорене, четене на книжки и игра и обучение на родителите. Оценка и стимулиране на привързаността майка-дете, както и насърчаване на позитивни методи за възпитание и общуване с детето;

•     при нужда насочване към специалисти (рехабилитатори, психолог, логопед и пр.) и подходящи профилактични програми (мобилни кабинети, профилактични програми за рискови бременности, и други), предлагани на територията на областта и общината.

•   насочване и подкрепа за достъп до общопрактикуващи лекари, педиатри, акушер гинеколози и др.

•   медицински грижи (при необходимост)

Домашните посещения ще започват в пренаталния период с цел да се обхванат бременните жени във възможно най-ранен стадий на бременността и ще продължават след раждането докато детето навърши три години.

Посочените по-горе здравни дейности ще бъдат структурирани в три основни пакета – универсален, допълнителен и екстра, прилагани в зависимост от индивидуалните потребности и съществуващи медико-социални рискове за здравето и развитието на децата. Пакетите се различават по броя и интензивността на домашните посещения, както и по вида и обхвата на включените дейности. Участието на потребителите като ползватели на услугите ще бъде доброволно.


V. Устойчивост на проекта

Проектът ще продължи три години. Министерството на здравеопазването принципно подкрепя концепцията и е в процес на сформиране на работна група, която да одобри методика за дейността на центъра, както и да направи предложения за правното регламентиране и финансово обезпечаване на новата структура.

Към настоящия момент няма правна регламентация на Център за майчино и детско здраве в Закона за здравето и Закона за лечебните заведения. В този смисъл реализирането на пилотния проект може да стане само ако дейността се осъществява от съществуваща структура в системата на здравеопазване, като ДКЦ, медицински център, лечебно заведение или Регионална здравна инспекция, в рамките на която да се обособи допълнително център „Център за майчино и детско здраве“.
