Health Promoter

Health promoters play an important role in reaching out to local leaders, residents, experts, and organisations to ensure that MSF's activities are accepted by the community. In addition, they have the important role of facilitating capacity building and leadership development for local health promoters.

ACTIVITIES

• Share quantitative and qualitative survey results with the project team to understand needs and improve the quality of medical activities.
• Prepare forms to collect information for quantitative/qualitative surveys, manage and analyse data, create reports, and propose plans for improvement.
• Create communications to spread and deepen awareness on topics relevant to the purpose of each project (hygiene/health education, vaccination, maternity care, sexual violence), and create, implement, and evaluate strategies to deliver these message to local residents.
• Facilitate discussion with community residents, build a system for cooperation, and promote resident participation in MSF activities.
• Monitor potential infectious diseases and nutrition status within the community and conduct patients follow-up.
• Visit medical facilities and remote areas to collect and analyse information and create reports in order to select a new project target community.
• Manage projects (problem assessment, survey result analysis, planning, implementation, monitoring, evaluation), specifically health promotion strategy, log frame, creation/implementation of a monitoring table, and evaluation planning/implementation.
• Manage teams, including the planning and implementation of daily guidance, education, and technical improvement training to prepare local health promoters to work independently.
