25 job positions of Enumerators for Data Collection of Randomized Clinical Trials in Nyamagabe, Nyabihu, Nyagatare, Ngoma and Musanze Districs at Interpeace : Deadline: 20-03-2023

By

0

Terms of Reference for 25 Enumerators: Data collection for randomized clinical trials in NYAMAGABE, NYABIHU, NYAGATARE, NGOMA AND MUSANZE DISTRICTS. 

  1. Background

Rwanda has identified mental health and trauma healing as areas of priority. A 2018 Mental Health Survey revealed high prevalence of mental health disorders, particularly among survivors of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi. In addition, the country’s National Unity and Reconciliation Policy recognises “serious levels of trauma” as a major effect of the genocide that still weighs heavily on society today. It identifies the healing of psychological wounds as a guiding principle on which unity and reconciliation are established. High levels of trauma, anxiety and depression make it more difficult for people to trust and forgive each other. Trauma affects the ability to open up, receive and trust others, and it is a major cause of inter-community suspicions, especially between groups of genocide survivors and former genocide prisoners. This has limited people’s ability to cooperate in shared, mutually beneficial economic activities. Based on that observation, Rwanda’s 4th Health Sector Strategic Plan emphasises the need for holistic innovative programmes that simultaneously promote mental health service provision, advance social cohesion and support sustainable livelihoods.


With funds from Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA), Interpeace in partnership with Prison Fellowship Rwanda, Haguruka NGO, Dignite en Detention (DIDE) are implementing a programme focusing on the linkages between psychosocial wellbeing, reconciliation and socio-economic development with a goal of reinforcing social cohesion and sustainable peace through scaling up community-based healing initiatives. The Programme is in line with, and will further inform, the Government’s policy of establishing community mental health services to improve the uptake among traumatised individuals of Government-funded mental health support.

        2. Purpose of Randomized Clinical Trials

Interpeace, Prison Fellowship Rwanda, Haguruka, and DIDE seek to conduct Randomized Clinical Trials in five districts namely Musanze, Ngoma, Nyabihu, Nyagatare and Nyamagabe.

  • Check the quality of transcripts and translations.
  • Contribute to the interpretation of data and analysis where necessary.
  • Perform other activities as needed and indicated by the field supervisor.
