Purpose of Activity/Assignment:

Draw pictures for the health committee flipchart and respective lay out

Scope of Work:

The purpose of the consultancy is to draw pictures and develop the lay out of the health committee portable flipchart.

Mozambique still has one of the highest child mortality rates in the world. Malaria, diarrhoea, acute respiratory infections and vaccine-preventable diseases are the main causes of child deaths in Mozambique.

Nearly 67% per cent of Mozambique’s population lives in rural areas, with limited or no access to the mass media. A variety of community communication channels, such as multimedia mobile units, community theatre and radio networks, are used to share information and knowledge and prompt people to adopt and maintain healthy behaviours. In addition, interpersonal communication through health committees is being used to reach and engage communities including the most vulnerable people in remote areas. However, few tolls have been provided so far to health committees to support community dialogue on promotion of healthy behaviours. So, UNICEF, under the support to the Ministry of Health is developing the flipchart with key contents to be used by the health committees as a tool to stimulate debates with families and communities. The flipchart is comprised by key messages and expressive pictures to be interpreted by community members during the debates.

1. Activities and Tasks:.

The purpose of this assignment is to draw approximately 70 pictures and develop the lay out of the Health Committee portable flipchart. Some pictures developed for the APE flipchart could be used for the health committee flipchart. The main activities are as follow:
