Consultant for Mid-Term Review Of The National Strategic Plan For Blindness Prevention And Control 2021-2030 (NSP-BPC-3)

Announcement Description

The National Program for Eye Health (NPEH) was established in 1994 by the MoH to take responsibility for developing and implementing a series of National Prevention and Control of Blindness (PBL) Action Plans and to coordinate all eye care activities in Cambodia. NPEH sits under the Department of Preventive Medicine (DoPM) of the structure of the Ministry of Health (MOH), and it was classified as a Non-Communicable Disease (NCD) of the health sector group. The NPEH works to build institutional capacity across government and non-government sectors and to provide technical support for eye health program activities.

In collaboration with MoH, NGOs, WHO, IAPB, and NPEH, the National Strategic Plan for Blindness Prevention and Control 2021-2030 (NSP-BPC-3) was developed. The plan underwent finalization, received approval from the MoH, and was officially launched on 27 May 2022. This marks a significant advancement for eye care program in Cambodia, offering a platform for partnerships and serving as a guiding framework for establishing indicators and implementing robust monitoring and evaluation mechanisms.

As institutions evolve, it becomes crucial to regularly review their strategic direction to maintain relevance within their spheres of influence. In line with this, NPEH recognizes the importance of strengthening its institutional capacity by reviewing and updating NSP-BPC-3 to align with current priorities in blindness prevention and reflect the commitment policies of the new Government of the Kingdom of Cambodia, where health is a top priority. NPEH intends to undertake this strategic plan review with the assistance of a consultant.
