∎ Job Context:
∎ FM Consulting International is currently recruiting for a reputable international organization to hire a FP Certification Program Manager for a USAID funded family planning project. The five-year USAID-funded family planning initiative aims to accelerate universal access to family planning in Bangladesh.
∎ The Project provides support for strengthening and expansion of access to quality Family Planning (FP) services through a collaborative health system capacity building partnership with the Government of Bangladesh (GoB) and being implemented in collaboration with the Directorate General of Family Planning (DGFP), Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS), and the National Institute of Population Research and Training (NIPORT). With collaboration with these directorates, the project is working with training institutes and their trainers to improve the quality of FP training through implementation of competency-based training of FP trainers and strengthening the management of training institutes. The project is providing technical assistance to DGFP, DGHS and NIPORT to develop curricula with emphasis on post-partum family planning, adolescent and youth friendly reproductive health services, including counseling, gender integration, supportive supervision and mentoring for FP providers. The project is also strengthening service delivery at facility and community levels to improve access to quality FP services.
∎ With regard to ensuring provider competency for provision of quality family planning services, including post-partum FP and adolescent/youth friendly reproductive health services, there are limited formal Continuing Medical Education (CME) programs and no requirements for taking additional or refresher education activities for health professionals. There is no system to assess provider competencies and certify their readiness after successful completion of both pre-service and in-service trainings prior to deployment. While providers are supervised at all levels of the health system, challenges remain such as ensuring provider competencies and standardizing these competencies across trainings.
∎ A key component for the provision of quality adolescent friendly services is quality counseling that is responsive to adolescent needs and in line with the National Adolescent Health Strategy (2017-2030) and National Plan of Action developed under this said strategy.
∎ The project is seeking to design and implement a pilot program to introduce and document the introduction of a certification program on sexual and reproductive health (SRH) counseling of adolescents. The pilot will document the design process, implementation, successes, limitations/challenges, and lessons learned in the implementation of the certification program for a select cadre of FP providers trained in SRH counseling. In addition, the pilot will inform the potential development and scale-up of a family planning certification program for FP providers.
