State Security Consultants at Malaria Consortium - 2 Openings

Posted on Wed 22nd Jan, 2025 - hotnigerianjobs.com --- (0 comments)


Malaria Consortium - Established in 2003, Malaria Consortium is one of the world’s leading non-profit organisations specialising in the prevention, control and treatment of malaria and other communicable diseases among vulnerable populations. Our mission is to save lives and improve health in Africa and Asia, through evidence-based programmes that combat targeted diseases and promote universal health coverage.

We are recruiting to fill the position below:

Job Title: State Security Consultant

Locations: Jigawa and Kaduna
Employment Type: Temporary

Country and Programme Background

  • Malaria Consortium recently received grants to implement Safety and Antimicrobial Resistance of Mass Administration of Azithromycin on Children 1-59 months in Nigeria (SARMAAN2) in 3 states (Kaduna, Kebbi and Jigawa states).
  • One of the platforms for the mass distribution of Azithromycin is the seasonal malaria chemoprevention platform.
  • This will involve the mass administration of Azithromycin to children, 1-59months in integration with the administration of antimalaria medicines (SPAQ) to children 3 -59 months during the SMC campaign in collaboration with the National Malaria Elimination Programme (NMEP), State Malaria Elimination Programme (SMEP) and the state ministry of health.

Rationale

  • Insecurity due to insurgency, armed banditry, militancy, separatist agitations, abductions, kidnappings, and armed robbery continue to increase in Nigeria and the communities, where SMC is being implemented are not spared.
  • No part of the country is exempted from these challenges, even though the security challenges are more pronounced in some states more than others.
  • Some of the Malaria Consortium supported states (e.g. Kaduna, Sokoto and Yobe) are clear complex operational environments (COE), while Kebbi and Niger states which share boundaries with Zamfara State also face security challenges including a peculiar form of armed banditry.

Goal of the Assignment

  • Even though Malaria Consortium has Security Officers and focal people as part of the staff, external short term technical assistants (TAs) would be engaged because the SITAN/SRA needs to be completed quickly to fit into the overall SARMAAN II process and timelines.
  • There is also the need for independent security persons that have connection with the security agencies and therefore can bring their knowledge of the landscape to produce better documents to inform programming.
  • The analysis/assessment would happen at the community, political ward and LGA levels. Furthermore, the engaged TAs would review previous trends and trajectory of events projected at the minimum to the next one year.
  • The aim of the assignment is to provide adequate guidance to ensure the safety and security of lives and properties for the implementation of SARMAAN II project intervention in the 3 Malaria Consortium implementing states (Kaduna, Kebbi & Jigawa).

Specific Objectives
The following are specific objectives for the assignment:

  • Guided by the previous security reports from Malaria Consortium, government security agencies and international/local security organization/agencies, conduct desk review of SRA in all 3 MC/SARMAAN implementing states.
  • Train state security focal persons (SSFPs) to be able to review the state security plans (SSPs) for the states and the FCT.
  • Utilize the information obtained from the assessment to -review the risk profiles of each state, LGA, ward and community where applicable.
  • Identify any new risk to implementations at different categories of state, LGA, wards, and community levels.
  • Update security risk mitigation plan for states and LGAs in response to information obtained in objectives above where applicable; and
  • Update SRAs, SSPs and SOPs for identified implementing states.

Methodology for (SITAN/SRA/SP) Review

  • This assignment will include the desk review of previous SRAs, security profiles and SSPs and the use of a combination of key informant interviews (KIIs), administration of questionnaires and consensus meetings with Malaria Consortium staff at country, state and LGA offices; and stakeholders from the states and LGAs, especially the Roll Back Malaria (RBM) Officers to obtain the required data and information.
  • These would be followed by a consensus meeting involving the consultants, relevant Malaria Consortium, state and LGA personnel would be held to agree on the relevance, currency and validity of the obtained data/information.
  • The Consultants are expected to physically visit accessible LGAs to complement the desk review.
  • Guided by the grading system developed in 2022 (and reviewed in 2025) from the Malaria Consortium Security Adaptation Guideline[1], Safety and Security Policy[2] and Framework[3], and findings from the SRA, grade the wards, LGAs and states into red (high), amber (medium) and green (low) areas; to enable Malaria Consortium top management categorize the LGAs and states into:
    • High security risk/hard-to-reach (HTR) areas.
    • Medium risk area; and
    • Low risk area.
  • The assignment would require a desk review of existing security documents such as SSPs, SRAs, weekly security updates and any report related to the supported states.
  • Visits to be undertaken to selected communities, wards and LGA/Area Councils of interest to enable a comprehensive review of the security situation within the implementing states which will enrich the reviews.
  • Furthermore, the consultants will support the designated SSFPs to carry out rapid assessments based on designed questionnaires, the outcome of which, will also inform on the reviews.
  • Remote support will also be provided in close collaboration with the Malaria Consortium Security Manager/Officers based in the country and zonal offices.
  • The data will be collected using SurveyCTO; while the GIS coordinates will also be obtained and data analyzed to produce the SSPs and SOPs to support AZM implementation in all security profiling categories for all the SARMAAN implementing states.
  • A debriefing meeting will be held at state level to validate all collated information with the respective SSFPs and Malaria Consortium’s Security Managers before submission to the Country Operation Manager, Programme Director and Regional Risk Programme Manager’s review and input before finalization and sign-off by the West and Central Africa Programmes Director.

List of Tasks

  • Conduct a desk-top analysis of the current security profiles of the respective SMC states using existing documents within MC and proffer recommendations for update on same.
  • Identify and assess the functionality of all existing security coordination platforms in the states (especially those used by existing donor agencies), identify new ones and their membership and requirements for Malaria Consortium being accepted as a member.
  • Orientate, debrief and work closely with the Malaria Consortium Security Managers, SSFPs and other stakeholders to understand the AZM/SMC implementation and the security context in the LGAs to enable the development of an accurate security strategy.
  • Develop an updated security risk mitigation plan for AZM/SMC deployment and update the SSPs for Malaria Consortium’s operations in the AZM/SMC supported states (as per the Malaria Consortium template); and
