1 UNICEF Moldova TERMS OF REFERENCE International Individual Consultancy Specialist in the area of provision of friendly services for most at risk and especially vulnerable adolescents (consultancy) Support to UNICEF Moldova in development of guidelines and in strengthening the capacities of youth friendly health services in the area of provision services for most at risk and especially vulnerable adolescents boys and girls Duration: 54 days (including 15 within the country), between July 2016 March 2017 Location: Chisinau, with travel to other locations 1. Background In Moldova, young people face various health and development issues such as sexual health problems (STIs and HIV, unwanted pregnancies and abortions), substance abuse (excessive alcohol consumption, smoking, illicit drug use), mental health issues and suicide. By the end of 2014, some 8,557 new HIV cases have been cumulatively registered (including Transnistria region), with stable annual average number of newly registered HIV cases in the past three years around 700 cases. The most affected site is the city of Balti (HIV prevalence in Balti 764 cases per 100 thousand, HIV prevalence in Transnistrian region cases per 100 thousand, HIV prevalence in Chisinau -115 cases per 100 thousand, General prevalence of HIV cases per 100 thousand (Source: Third National MDG Report). The HIV epidemic in Moldova remains concentrated largely among risk groups, particularly drug users, commercial sex workers, men having sex with other men, and prison populations. The structure of the new cases as related to the probable ways of transmission highlights an increase of vulnerability to infection among women (52% in 2011 as compared to 16% at the beginning of the epidemic). The main route of transmission is via sexual intercourse (92% in 2013 as compared with 10% in 1996). The transmission level through injectable drug use has decreased considerably, shifting the epidemic to the partners of key risk groups. More than half of new cases are young people. Comprehensive knowledge about HIV transmission among young people years of age is low: 36% of young women have comprehensive knowledge about HIV transmission and 28% of young men. Only 49% of women years old who had sex with more than one partner in the last 12 months used condom and 68% of young men (Source: MICS 2012). Around 11% of teenagers, aged were offered drugs and 3% of the adolescents have experience with the use of narcotics. (Source: KAP Study in adolescents health and development, 2012). Around 6% of the total number of registered drug users in Moldova are between 15 and 17 year of age (MoH, administrative statistics). In order to address adolescent s health issues the Ministry of Health established Youth Friendly Health Centre (YFHC) in all 35 districts and 2 municipalities of the country. Number of adolescents and youth (aged years old) that accessed YFHC increased more than twice during last 5 years (44,642 beneficiaries in 2011 versus 134,877 beneficiaries in 2015). Unfortunately, the share of most at risk * and especially vulnerable adolescent s is around 10%. * In accordance with the Regulation of YFHC approved by MoH on , most at risk adolescent and youth are young men who have sex with men and young people who sell sex or inject drugs In accordance with the Regulation of YFHC approved by MoH on , especially vulnerable adolescents and youth are: street children, adolescents without parental supervision, adolescents from families with parents that abuse
2 Adolescent drug users, commercial sex workers, men who have sex with men, adolescents who work, live, or spend their time in the street or who live in institutions, etc. are extremely vulnerable to infection with HIV due to the conditions in which they live or the risky practices they have adopted. Living and working on the streets usually means that they end up selling their bodies for money and becoming addicted to drugs and alcohol. These adolescents have nothing to live for, receive no love or support, and have no future prospects. They face the highest risk of becoming infected with HIV and passing the virus on to others. They live in a self-destructive spiral. UNICEF supported study revealed that, the mean age for first injection of drugs in Moldova was 17 years (the lowest level for drug injecting - 12 years old), 41% adolescents and youth injected drugs in private apartments/ house (in Balti 57%) and 85% of respondents reported indirect sharing of injection equipment (Source: Assessment of risk of HIV among MARA, 2010). To address the challenges faced by most at risk and especially vulnerable adolescents and youth, the Government of Moldova created a network of youth friendly health services (YFHS) aiming to provide friendly services to younger generation, including to most at risk adolescents. With financial aid from Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), the Ministry of Health expanded the network of youth friendly health services in every district of the country. UNICEF and the Health for Youth Association provide continuous support in improving the quality of YFHS, and building capacity of health service providers in youth friendly approaches. Under a new project with the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation ( ), UNICEF works to improve the legal, policy and regulatory framework in order to remove legal barriers for adolescent to access YFHS, to strengthen the capacities of YFHS staff in delivering quality services, including for most at risk adolescents and to promote social change in adolescent health and development through communication and community mobilisation. 2.
