Call for Expression of Interest (EOI) – To develop Home Based Care (HBC)/ Community care Package - Training Manual for the care of Older People in Kenya and Mozambique
Introduction
HelpAge International is the secretariat to the HelpAge Global Network, which brings together a wide range of organisations and individuals working together to ensure that older people lead dignified, active, healthy and secure lives. We strive to promote the wellbeing and inclusion of older women and older men and reduce poverty and discrimination in later life by working with older women and older men in low and middle-income countries for better services and policies, and for changes in the behaviours and attitudes of individuals and societies towards old age. We want a world where every older woman and older man, everywhere, can say ‘***I have the income I need; I enjoy the best possible health and quality of life; I am safe and secure, free from discrimination and abuse; and, My voice is heard’.***
HelpAge International’s secretariat is based in London, UK but works in 41 countries across the world. Our long-term vision is to establish a global movement of strong connected age focused and older people led platforms in every country in the world. We aim to extend the reach and influence of the HelpAge Global Network and all those in a position to help bring about our vision for older persons, including Governments, regional institutions, policy makers, development partners, the private sector, UN organisations and academic institutions.
Project Background
HelpAge has received funding from Maxwell Harvey Legacy Fund, managed by Age International, to implement a three-year Health System Strengthening Programme in Kenya and Mozambique. The programme which is dubbed Better Healthcare for Older People in Africa (BHOPA - 2), is the second of its kind and builds on lessons from BHOPA - 1 implemented between 2014 and 2017 in four countries – Tanzania, Ethiopia, Mozambique and Zimbabwe.
The overall objective of the programme is to contribute to better health and wellbeing, and reduced burden of diseases, for older women and older men including those with disability.
