#OmWaTifl Campaign

CAMPAIGN OVERVIEW

The #OmWaTifl campaign aims to promote USAID/Jordan’s family planning programs and increase awareness of the benefits of quality family planning and reproductive health services in Jordan. Through this one-month, country-wide campaign, USAID/Jordan will make a concerted effort through various forms of media to engage Jordanians and increase awareness about improving quality health services for mothers and babies. The campaign will incorporate television, radio, print media, online social media and outdoor media (billboards) advertisements. The campaign will highlight USAID beneficiaries and will communicate the positive impact of USAID’s work. The campaign also ties into larger overall USAID campaign in “Ending Preventable Child and Maternal Deaths” which emphasizes equitable access to health services to save the lives of women and children.

AUDIENCE

Primary audience: Women Secondary audience: General public with focus on small towns

CORE MESSAGE

USAID/Jordan seeks to improve the lives of mothers and babies (#OmWaTifl) through improved access to family planning and reproductive health services.

KEY TERMS

Maternal Health Family Planning Gender Equality Nutrition Ensuring Healthy Behaviors Resilience

CAMPAIGN TALKING POINTS

Looking at Jordan’s health sector in 2012, you would have seen a “Success Story” with USAID phasing out, leaving behind a robust, responsive health system. Over five decades of USAID investments had resulted in remarkable improvements in maternal and child health. For example by 2012, 99% of all Jordanian women labored and delivered with a skilled health provider, cutting infant mortality in half (from 34 per 1,000 in 1990 down to 17 per 1,000 in 2012).

2/3

However, the influx of 1.3 million refugees – increasing the population by 25% – has overwhelmed and weakened the Kingdom’s health system for both Jordanians and refugees. Service delivery has become more fragmented and less client-centered as demand now far out-paces capacity:

Earlier progress towards improving maternal and child health is backsliding;

Previously eradicated diseases (such as TB) are re-emerging; and The cost of providing free and subsidized healthcare to Syrians has ballooned to $2 billion since

2013.1

The reality is that the strain on the health system is not going to dissipate any time soon; refugees keep coming, and those in Jordan will likely not return home for at least five years – if ever. The complexity of the Syrian crisis requires a re-write to the humanitarian assistance playbook, challenging donors to think about how their development funds play a role in alleviating the prolonged crisis.

Included within its overall health investments, USAID has supported a robust family planning program in Jordan for the last twenty-five years. As a result of this USG support, Jordan made remarkable progress increasing the access and use of family planning services:

Total Fertility Rate (TFR) of 5.6 in 1990 dropped to 3.6 in 2002.

Similarly, contraceptive use increased from 40% in 1990 to 56% in 2002.

“Reaching the last mile” has proven more difficult, however, as progress appeared to stagnate over the last decade: from 2003 to 2015. In order to maximize USG resources and support a renewed GOJ political commitment to family planning, USAID enlisted a team of experts to examine factors that led to the early success, and then investigate reasons for the plateau. The recently completed report concluded that contraceptive effectiveness (rather than contraceptive use), is the key determinant of fertility stagnation in Jordan: family planning access and use are relatively high, but the diversity of methods used by women is low and has shifted towards less effective methods, such as withdrawal.

As a result of these findings, USAID has pivoted its technical assistance towards addressing social and gender norms that affect contraceptive uptake and method choice.

USG remains committed to supporting family planning investments for the following reasons:

STABILITY: Family planning is a tool to help mitigate unsustainable population growth and ensure continued stability.

ECONOMIC: For every $1 spent on family planning, $6 is saved in addition to increased productivity for girls and women.

HEALTH: Family planning reduces maternal and child mortality, as well as increases nutritional outcomes for women and their families.

EDUCATION: Adolescent pregnancy can be both the cause and a consequence of dropping out of school, creating a dangerous cycle.

WOMEN’s EMPOWERMENT/EQUALITY: Access to voluntary contraception is a human right critical to ensuring women can make and act on decisions affecting their lives.

Smiling Sun Pediatric Hospital Expansion

3/3

BACKGROUND

Smiling Sun Pediatric Hospital is currently the only pediatric referral hospital for the four northern governorates (Irbid, Mafraq, Ajloun and Jerash), serving over 25% of Jordan’s population. The current hospital capacity of 120 beds, including only 31 incubators and seven intensive care unit beds, barely meets the needs of the fast growing Jordanian and refugee population. According to the United Nations, more than 620,000 Syrian refugees have crossed into Jordan since the conflict in Syria began, though the Government of Jordan (GOJ) reports over 1.4 million. According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, over 60% of registered Syrian refugees reside in the north, mainly in Irbid and Mafraq. The influx of Syrians has placed tremendous pressure on PRPH services and has led to a consistently full occupancy rate.

The Ministry of Health (MOH) determined there was an urgent need to expand Smiling Sun Pediatric Hospital, including the emergency department, operation rooms, and neonatal and intensive care units.

The MOH requested USAID assistance to carry out this expansion in order to meet the increased patient caseload and to provide adequate, quality health care to Jordanian and Syrian children. In response to the GOJ’s request, USAID will assist the MOH in responding to the increased demand for pediatric health services by supporting the expansion of Smiling Sun Hospital through multiple mechanisms, in line with USAID/Jordan’s Country Development Cooperation Strategy goals and objectives.

PROJECT OVERVIEW

Smiling Sun Pediatric Hospital Expansion Project aims to rehabilitate and expand the hospital to respond to critical needs resulting from the influx of Syrian refugees and increased demand for health services in the northern governorates. The project will include host country contracts for construction services through the Ministry of Public Works and Housing (MPWH) and procurement of furniture and medical equipment through the MOH. Full construction management and supervision services for the project will be provided through a direct contract with a Jordanian Architecture and Engineering (A/E) firm.

The hospital expansion was designed by a local A/E firm procured by the MOH and approved by USAID and the MPWH. The hospital will be inaugurated as part of the #OmWaTifl campaign.

EXPECTED OUTPUTS

The expansion project will improve important health services for host communities impacted by the influx of Syrian refugees. It will also assist in decreasing child mortality and morbidity rates through responding to the increased demand for tertiary medical services and improving their quality.

The project will do the following:

1. Increase the hospital’s capacity by 35%

2. Improve critical hospital functions to comply with the American Institute of Architects (AIA) standards for hospitals and health care facilities

3. Improve safety, hospital circulation and infection control in the hospital

4. Improve the hospital’s ability to efficiently respond to emergency cases
