Term of Reference (ToR) Consultant for Health Nutrition Coordinator Emergency Response Lombok

1.     Background

The 7.0 magnitude earthquake on August 5^th 2018 resulted massive impact to people in North Lombok. 71,740 houses destroyed and buildings were collapse and forced 417,529 people became internally displaced. Multi Sector Assessment report indicated 72% of the respondents (N=58) are now staying in IDP camps. 98.28% of those who stay in the camp mentioned that they need shelter kits..   

Prior 7,0 magnitude earthquake, the main drinking water sources was from piping system (PDAM) and borehole including other source of water such as bottle water and spring. Now they are relying on bottle water. 34.48% respondents mentioned that they do not have access to water sources and 40% of them (who does not have access to water sources) mention that the unavailability of water storage apparatus is the reason why they do not have access to water supply. The limited availability of water impact on community hygiene practice. Woman and children are the most vulnerable people who practice personal hygiene due to the limited available water. The assessment found that women in 93% camps experienced difficulties in practicing personal hygiene due to several factors (unavailability of water, privacy, un-appropriate sanitation facilities, etc). Most of people live in IDPs camps managed by aid agencies and/ or government, while some of them choose to stay in small size tarpaulin tent near their houses to keep their belonging and livestock. Shelter kit became the top priority during the first 24 hours, as well as sleeping kit such as blanket and mat.

The access to water were collapsed in some of villages. Many piping system were cracked and borehole were collapse, resulting many people lost their access to drinking water and switch to negative coping strategy such as take drinking water from contaminated sources (river) and reducing their portion of drinking water/ prioritize their remaining water just only for drinking (for those who use remaining water at their houses). The use of bottled water also increases, as in line with the amount of bottled drinking water from aid. In the other hand, sanitation facilities are lacking. Many people switch from using private toilet at their houses to open defecation at river, bushes, etc. These water and sanitation problem will became health risk for displaced people and lead to diarrhea, ARI, and any other waterborne related diseases. The findings on Health Nutrition Assessment that has been conducted on 21-22 September 2018 also confirmed that diarrhea have been found as common health problem in IDPs camp.

Women and girls are the most affected groups in WASH sector. The assessment revealed that had challenges in practicing hygiene behaviour (defecation, showering, handwashing). When they need the public toilet or doing open defecation or bathing at river, privacy became an issue. This problem also become a risk in protection sector that might be lead to sexual harassment.
