EngenderHealth (EH) envisions a gender-equal world where all people achieve their sexual and reproductive health and rights. We believe this is essential for ensuring all people can attain their full potential. To realize this vision, we implement high-quality, gender-equitable programs that advance sexual and reproductive health and rights.
MOMENTUM Safe Surgery in Family Planning and Obstetrics is a USAID-funded program initiated in September 2020 and active through September 2025. Through a consortium of partners led by EngenderHealth, this project expands awareness of, equitable access to, and appropriate use of quality, voluntary surgical maternal health (MH) and family planning (FP) services that are essential to reducing maternal and newborn mortality and morbidity and promoting reproductive health (RH). MOMENTUM Safe Surgery in Family Planning and Obstetrics focuses on surgical obstetric care, including safe and indicated cesarean delivery (CD) and peripartum hysterectomy; prevention and treatment of obstetric and iatrogenic fistula; and voluntary long-acting reversible contraceptives and permanent methods (LARCs/PMs). In Burundi, MOMENTUM Safe Surgery in Family Planning and Obstetrics builds on EngenderHealth’s long history of successful program implementation with government and civil society partners, including the USAID Fistula Care and Fistula Care Plus, Burundians Responding Against Violence and Inequality (BRAVI) and Gir’iteka (as sub to local partner SWAA-Burundi) projects.
The Technical Specialist / Provincial Coordinator is responsible for supporting the programmatic and technical implementation of the project, including service delivery, training, supervision, and improvement of the quality of care in the province. In the MOMENTUM Safe Surgery in Family Planning and Obstetrics Burundi project, these activities will support health system strengthening in surgical obstetric care, including safe and appropriate caesarean delivery; prevention of obstetric and iatrogenic fistula, including rehabilitation and provision of long acting and reversible contraception (LARC), focusing on the insertion of a postpartum intrauterine device (IUD), difficult removal of contraceptive implants and provision of permanent FP methods (PM), including immediate post-cesarean and postpartum tubal ligation and vasectomy. MSSFPO will address these specific technical areas while embedding principles of gender, youth, and social inclusion (GYSI) across program interventions. Under the supervision of the Sr. Clinical Advisor, the technical specialist/pwill work closely with medical authorities in project-supported provinces and staff in supported sites to provide technical assistance for interventions related to fistula prevention and repair, delivery of safe surgical obstetric procedures and screening, and provision of LARCs and permanent FP methods in accordance with national, state, and EngenderHealth standards and guidelines. The technical specialist/ provincial coordinator is responsible for guiding the programmatic and technical implementation of the project at the provincial level including, service delivery, training, post-training follow-up, supervision, and improvement of the quality of care.
