COUNTRY BACKGROUND

Benin’s population is young and its urban population is growing. Nearly 45 percent of its 8,450 million inhabitants are under the age of 15. Over 40 percent of the population lives in urban areas; nearly double the proportion of twenty years ago. The country’s health and education status are among the lowest in the world. Life expectancy is 55 years. Fertility rate is 5.7 and 66% of adults (aged 15 and above) are illiterate. An estimated 30% of the population lives below the national poverty line. The mortality rate for children under five is 152 per 1,000. Malaria is the leading cause of childhood deaths and is responsible for 40 percent of all health care consultations for children (twice as many as the next leading cause). Infant mortality rate is 90 per 1,000. The overall rate of malaria prevalence in the Beninese population is 37%.

A recent mid-term evaluation of the 2001-2005 malaria control strategic plan conducted by the National Malaria Control Program (NMCP) revealed that the quality of malaria case management has improved and that the use of insecticide-treated nets at the community level has increased. The same study concluded that only uncomplicated malaria case management indicators are improving. The indicator related to treatment of severe cases is going down.

In 1998, USAID/Benin, through the centrally-funded African Integrated Malaria Initiative (AIMI), supported a three-year program aimed at promoting new approaches to fighting malaria in the Oueme/Plateau regions located in southeastern Benin and known to be the most affected by the disease. Given the successful achievements of the program, and its impact on health workers and communities, a second phase was launched to cover the period of 2001-2003. A two-year grant agreement was signed with Africare in September 2003 to pursue the implementation of best practices under the project until September 30, 2005. Among the major achievements were the Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI) training for health workers and the implementation of Precedent Birth Techniques (PBT) to monitor infant mortality index. The Zou-Collines regions were used to test practices being implemented in Ouémé-Plateau.

USAID’s efforts have focused on assisting the NMCP to prevent transmission of malaria among the target population (children under 5 and pregnant women) through the use of insecticide treated nets (ITNs), presumptive treatment during pregnancy and ensuring correct treatment of malaria in children.

Nationwide, according to a recent KAP study by a USAID implementing partner, the proportion of children under 5 who slept under a treated mosquito net the previous night rose from 17% in 2002 to 43% in 2005; among pregnant women the proportion rose from 28% to 56% for the same years. Furthermore, the proportion of people who have re-treated their mosquito nets at least once has increased from 18% in 2002 to 37% in 2005.

Benin has a high incidence of malaria. According to the health statistics released in 2004 by the Ministry of Public Health, malaria is the main affection that leads to care-seeking. The average incidence of malaria, which was 118 per 1000 in 2000, remained high in 2004 at 119 per 1000. The incidence is higher among children under five years of age, with 502 per 1000 among children under one year of age and 218 per 1000 among children aged from one to four years.

On December 14, 2006 Benin was selected as one of 15 President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI) countries. It is expected that the Year 1 Malaria Operational Plan (MOP) will be developed in April 2007 after the February needs assessment and that jump start activities will be implemented in close collaboration with the NMCP in early FY08.

During the past three years, Benin has received increased support from donors to help meet the Abuja targets as they relate to malaria prevention among vulnerable groups. Besides UNICEF and WHO interventions in Roll Back Malaria, the Global Fund has considerably invested in ITN provision to support the Government of Benin’s malaria control program. Also, the World Bank, under the Booster program, is providing resources to purchase Long Lasting Insecticide Treated Nets (LLITNs) as well as assist Benin to purchase the new Artemisinin-based Combination Therapy (ACT) drug for treatment.

II.

OVERVIEW

USAID is responsible for all activities conducted in Benin under the PMI. The Malaria Advisor is responsible to USAID for the implementation of all PMI activities and reports directly to the Mission Director or his designated representative. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will play an important part in the design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of PMI-supported activities in Benin. The Malaria Advisor works closely with CDC personnel and the FHT leader to ensure the technical appropriateness of PMI-supported activities and interventions while maintaining ultimate responsibility for the implementation of the program.

USAID/Benin’s Health Strategic Objective includes malaria activities as an important component of its portfolio. Malaria is a major component, through the Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI) strategy, of the Integrated Family Health Project (PISAF) implemented by University Research Corporation. Malaria is also included in the Integrated Project to Support Family Health and Prevent HIV/AIDS (IMPACT) implemented by Population Services International (PSI) with the promotion of bednets. PMI-supported malaria activities are fully integrated into USAID’s health Strategic Objective #5 which reads “expanded use of family health services and prevention measures within a supportive environment”.Malaria activities that are implemented within ongoing bilateral Cooperative Agreements will remain under the authority of the respective Cognizant Technical Officers (CTO) responsible for those Agreements. The Malaria Advisor will provide technical and administrative oversight, as requested, on multiple tasks within the health sector, with a concentration of his/her time on malaria-specific activities. The Malaria Advisor may be called upon to represent the USAID/Director at official functions involving the U.S. Embassy, the Ministry of Health, or international and bilateral donor organizations.

III.

The USAID PMI Advisor will have management and technical responsibilities and shall liaise with backstops for the PMI in USAID Washington, CDC counterparts in Cotonou and Atlanta, and USAID personnel working within and overseeing the Mission’s activities related to malaria control. These responsibilities include regular contact and collaboration with the counterparts in the NMCP and other government ministries and agencies, as well as in a wide range of civil society and private organizations, other donor and international organizations, and other United States Government (USG) entities working in malaria prevention and control.

IV.

MAJOR DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

The USAID PMI Advisor shall exercise substantial judgment in developing, planning and carrying out PMI tasks, in representing the USG in critical technical and policy forums, in resolving problems and conflicts, and in taking appropriate steps to meet deadlines.
