Midwifery Specialist, Cameroon

Organization: UN Population Fund
Country: CameroonClosing date: 09 Jan 2014
We are pleased to announce the following vacancy:
VACANCY NO.: Job ID 2375
CLOSING DATE: 9 January 2014 5:00 p.m. New York time
POST TITLE: Midwifery Specialist
CATEGORY: ICS-10 (P-3)*
POST TYPE: Non-rotational
POST NUMBER: New
DUTY STATION: Yaounde, Cameroon
DURATION: One year (renewable)
ORGANIZATIONAL UNIT:
Cameroon Country Office/Western and Central Africa Regional Office
BACKGROUND:
Between 1998 and 2011, the maternal mortality ratio has increased from 430 to 782 deaths per 100,000 live births in Cameroon, while neonatal mortality has stagnated around 31 deaths per 1,000 live births. To a large extent, this lack of progress is due to the low availability of health personnel with adequate obstetric skills. In the 2011 report on the 'State of World's Midwifery', Cameroon has been ranked among the countries with the most severe severest shortages of midwives. This shortage results from the 1987 closure of Cameroon's obstetric nursing schools . The remaining health staff has not been able to fill the gap that was left behind and meet the obstetric needs of Cameroon's growing population. To reverse this trend, the Government of Cameroon has launched a new and ambitious training program for midwives in 2011 with support from UNFPA, GIZ and WHO. Currently, a total of 700 students are enrolled in 10 midwifery schools. The technical, logistical and financial challenges related to training, recruiting and deploying Cameroon's future midwives are considerable. That is why the H4+ agencies (within the framework of a Swedish funded programme to reduce maternal and child mortality) have jointly decided to support the Government of Cameroon in its efforts to strengthen the institutional framework for training, recruiting and deploying midwives. The recruitment of a Midwifery Specialist is part of this joint support.
ORGANIZATIONAL SETTING:
