CAPACITY BUILDING SPECIALIST (PUBLIC HEALTH) – THAILAND–MYANMAR BORDER

CAPACITY BUILDING SPECIALIST (PUBLIC HEALTH) – THAILAND–MYANMAR BORDER The Asian Disaster Preparedness Center (ADPC) seeks to strengthen its regional programming and technical capacity for public health emergency preparedness and response across the Asia-Pacific region. Building on its experience in disaster preparedness, emergency response, regional cooperation, and multi-country program implementation, ADPC aims to strengthen its support to countries and communities in preparing for and responding to emerging and re-emerging infectious disease outbreaks and other public health emergencies. Effective public health emergency preparedness and response require timely and coordinated action, supported by strong technical and operational capacities, effective coordination mechanisms, and capable national and local response actors. Through partnerships with governments, regional institutions, UN agencies, civil society organizations, academic and research institutions, and technical networks, ADPC promotes nationally and locally led approaches that strengthen preparedness, response, and recovery capacities. Within this broader commitment, ADPC is a consortium partner in the Local Engagement and Response Network (LEARN): Strengthening Localized Multi-Sectoral Readiness and Response to Infectious Disease Outbreaks in Humanitarian Settings, led by International Medical Corps (IMC). LEARN aims to strengthen Local First Responders (LFRs), particularly Local and National Non-Governmental Organizations (L/NNGOs), to improve their readiness and multisectoral response to infectious disease outbreaks of epidemic or pandemic potential in humanitarian settings.As a consortium partner, ADPC will provide technical and implementation support for LEARN activities in South and Southeast Asia, including the Thailand–Myanmar border region. ADPC will lead field implementation in approved project locations on the Thai side of the border, including stakeholder engagement, organizational and capacity assessments, contextualization and delivery of capacity-strengthening activities, and ongoing technical assistance and mentoring for participating L/NNGOs. To support this role, ADPC seeks to engage a Capacity Building Expert (Public Health) based in Mae Sot. The consultant will serve as the field implementation focal point, working closely with the ADPC project team, IMC, participating L/NNGOs and relevant stakeholders.A key focus of the assignment will be to ensure that LEARN's capacity-strengthening approaches and resources are practical, context-appropriate, and responsive to the humanitarian, public health, and operational realities of the Thailand–Myanmar border, while strengthening the capacity of local organizations and first responders to prepare for and respond effectively to infectious disease outbreaks.Note: It is not the intent of this TOR to cover every aspect of the position requirements, rather to highlight the most important areas of personal and joint responsibilities.
