How can you make a difference?

Background and Purpose

Adolescence (10–19 years) is a unique and formative time. Multiple physical, emotional and social changes, including exposure to poverty, abuse or violence, can make adolescents vulnerable to mental health problems. Promoting psychological well-being and protecting adolescents from adverse experiences and risk factors that may impact their potential to thrive are critical for their well-being during adolescence and for their physical and mental health in adulthood. While adolescence is often seen as the healthiest time of life, it also represents a period of vulnerability for mental health. Depression, anxiety, eating disorders, self-harm and suicide are primary causes of disability, disease and mortality among adolescents. It is estimated that one in six people are aged 10–19 years. Mental health conditions account for 16% of the global burden of disease and injury in people aged 10–19 years. Half of all mental health conditions start by 14 years of age, but most cases are undetected and untreated. Globally, depression is one of the leading causes of illness and disability among adolescents. Suicide is the third leading cause of death in 15-19-year-olds.
The consequences of not addressing adolescent mental health conditions extend to adulthood, impairing both physical and mental health and limiting opportunities to lead fulfilling lives as adults. The social and financial costs of mental health conditions and associated disabilities are significant. The World Economic Forum estimates mental health conditions will cost the global economy $16 trillion in the next 20 years if not addressed.

Adolescent mental health remains stigmatized, underfunded and underserved in most countries, rich and poor. Less than 1% of governmental health budgets in LIC’s go towards mental health and there are large disparities in access to care and support worldwide, and particularly in LMIC’s.

Purpose

The purpose of this consultancy will be to conduct a landscape assessment of needs, entry points in the health system and priority interventions for an adolescent mental health programme in Rwanda.

This will comprise desk reviews, focus group discussions and key informant interviews to document the situation of adolescent mental health in Rwanda, identify potential entry points in the health system, and to inform the government and its partners on priority interventions for Adolescent Mental Health programme. The landscape assessment of Adolescent Mental Health will identify effective and promising practices based on global experiences; identify gaps to be addressed and key research questions; and offer recommendations that can be implemented based on Rwandan context.

Justification

Rwanda ranks of 13th on vulnerability means that it is highly vulnerable to climate change effects. Floods and landslides have been among the major disasters that have great negative impact on food security, health, environment and infrastructures in different zones of the country.

Kirehe District is one of Rwandan districts that was severely affected by disasters in 2019. The district has been undergoing a prolonged drought and the heavy rains between January and March 2019 has compounded the risk of unprecedented run-offs that resulted into flooding and landslides. During the season 2020 A&B, the rains have again heavily impacted the agricultural production in marshlands, where they drastic effects include house destruction, erosion of the top soil and submerging the crops in those marshlands where more than 150 hectares of rice fields were damaged.

According to the district’s officials, six of Kirehe’s 12 sectors were the most affected and those are Kigarama, Kigina, Nyamugari, Mahama, Nyarubuye and Mpanga.
