I. Background:
The Palestinian Information and Communication Technology Incubator (PICTI) is
implementing the project "Youth Tech; for Transparency; From Ideas to Impact" as
part of the Transparency, Evidence, Efficiency, Effectiveness, and Accountability
Programme (TEA³), in collaboration with UNDP/PAPP and supported by FCDO and
the Government of Sweden. This initiative fosters innovation in transparency,
accountability, and public service delivery, with a particular focus on creating digital
solutions to address pressing societal needs.
The devastating consequences of the recent Gaza war have led to a significant
increase in disabilities, including a rise in the number of amputees. This alarming
trend has emphasized the urgent need for a centralized solution to support the
Ministry of Health in addressing these challenges. Recognizing this, the idea of
establishing "The National Registry for Persons with Disabilities" emerged as a
critical step toward collecting comprehensive data, optimizing its benefits, and
enabling evidence based interventions.
By creating a centralized digital registry, the project seeks to enhance the Ministry of
Health’s capacity to improve resource allocation, promote equitable access to health
and social services, and design targeted initiatives for persons with disabilities, with a
particular focus on the pressing needs of amputees.
II. Objective:
This Terms of Reference outlines the development of a Mobile Application with
Admin Panel, The National Registry for Persons with Disabilities, aimed at
improving data collection, analysis, and service provision for persons with
disabilities. The App will be officially adopted by the Ministry of Health,
ensuring its integration into national health strategies and policies.
The application will:
- Enable the collection of comprehensive personal and familial information
about individuals with disabilities.
- Include details such as type and severity of disability, medical history,
access to health services, educational background, employment status,
living conditions, and other relevant data (Meta Data, Images and
attachments).
- Provide analytical tools to process and visualize data, supporting
evidence-based decision-making and strategic planning.
- Serve as a critical resource for the Ministry of Health and other
stakeholders to design and implement targeted initiatives and inclusive
interventions for persons with disabilities.
Through this application, the Ministry of Health will enhance its capacity to
address the needs of persons with disabilities, improve resource allocation, and
promote equitable access to health and social services.
