In doing so, the project will contribute towards the mitigation of future human losses caused by epidemics and disasters within ten at risk provinces over the three-year period. In the project, behaviour change communication (BCC) is applied to equip community members with knowledge of disease prevention and motivate them to adopt, practice and sustain new health behaviour. In order to do so, training on BCC will be given to community volunteers, who in their turns will provide household education to help people to prevent themselves from infectious diseases. Currently, Vietnam Red Cross is ready to recruit volunteers. Regarding their plan for training materials, the existing materials of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (in English) and the National Centre for Health Information, Education and Communication (in Vietnamese) are consulted to develop a new set of training manuals and tools for Vietnam Red Cross. Whereas it is relevant, existing materials of Vietnam Red Cross for specific infectious diseases will be used or referenced for the training set on BCC. This Terms of Reference is developed to outline deliverables by the consultant. The scope of this consultancy is through an approved training process, aimed to build the capacity of the VNRC provincial officers to have the knowledge and confidence to deliver BCC. Alignment to the IFRC s objectives and strategy (IFRC s Strategy 2020) In line with the auxiliary role of the VNRC, the IFRC country office actively works to support the strategic priorities of the VNRC, which are described in the strategy for the development of the Viet Nam Red Cross Society to 2020 (VNRC 2020).

2 Strengthen and scale up VNRC s contribution towards Viet Nam s development as part of their contribution to national development programmes in the areas of health, poverty reduction, disaster management and shelter. Expand disaster response and recovery capacity through preparing for and addressing the impacts of natural and man-made hazards, with a particular focus on the influence of climate change, infectious and non-communicable diseases. Continue to support the institutional capacity of the VNRC in the areas of financial management, resource mobilization, human resources management, communication and humanitarian diplomacy. In relation to the specific problem statement being addressed in this project, the IFRC supports the VNRC in seeking to expand the access that people in vulnerable communities have to primary and public health services, including during emergencies. In doing so the VNRC supports health authorities by promoting basic skills in first aid, and using proven prevention techniques to tackle vector-borne and other communicable diseases. These actions are undertaken through communitybased approaches that reduce vulnerability and ensure adequate preparedness for epidemic and pandemic outbreaks Project objectives The objectives of the project are to: Reduced incidence of infectious and waterborne disease. Increased capacity for the delivery of First Aid services. Increase provincial emergency response capacity. VNRC institutional preparedness enhanced. Desired outcomes The desired outcomes of the project are: Community health and wellbeing is strengthened to address climate-sensitive and emerging diseases. Through the achievement of the two outputs that contribute to outcome 1, the project will contribute to improved hamlet level capacity in disease prevention and epidemic control, which is linked to GoVN health services and the VNRC response mechanism. Furthermore, communities will have increased knowledge and skills on hygiene promotion practices to prevent waterborne and related diseases, and enhanced access to safe water and sanitation facilities in times of emergency as a result of strengthening VNRC s water and sanitation response mechanism.
