Request for Proposal

MHPSS Supportive Supervision consultancy  

Médicos del Mundo-Spain (MdM-S), is an international humanitarian organization, working to make effective the Universal Right to Health. MdM is a non-profitable, non-governmental, non-political and non-confessional organization operating under the principles of humanity, neutrality, impartiality and independence . MdM-S has been working in the oPt since 2006. Its work has been oriented to Mental Health and Psychosocial support (MHPSS), and Primary Healthcare. In the Gaza Strip, the MdM-S strategy aims at the improvement of mental health and wellbeing of children and adolescents. This intervention is focused on the strengthening of governmental children and adolescent’s mental health services, and community organizations working with children and adolescents through a capacity building approach. This includes training activities and materials and equipment provision.

The ongoing conflict and humanitarian crisis in oPt have profoundly impacted the mental health and psychosocial well-being of the entire population. Health and MHPSS workers, operating under extreme stress and resource constraints, face an urgent need for support to be able to provide services under these conditions. This program would aim to enhance the capacity and resilience of MHPSS service providers, ensuring they can continue to provide essential services under challenging conditions. 

Given these circumstances, implementing an MHPSS supportive supervision process for MDM teams in Gaza is critical.  

Objective of the consultancy / Contracted services 

• The consultancy aims to design and implement a comprehensive MHPSS supportive supervision program tailored to the needs of our MHPSS teams in Gaza considering that that this supervision is to be complementary to technical supervision that the team are already receiving separately. The program should aim to: 

• Enhance the skills and competencies of MdM’s MHPSS providers in delivering high-quality services in an extremely adverse context.  

• Provide ongoing psychological support to MHPSS workers to manage work-related stress and prevent burnout. This support aims to manage work-related stress and implement trauma-informed practices to prevent occupational stress injuries and enhance overall psychological resilience.
