Background Information – Cambodia Multi-Country Office
UNOPS established its Cambodia Multi-Country Office (KHOH) in early 2013. Since then, KHOH has carried out a diverse set of projects/programs, such as a multi-donor funded project to support the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (also known as the Khmer Rouge Tribunal). Also, KHOH has been providing advisory services in the infrastructure sector to other development partners, such as the Government of the Russian Federation and KOICA, and procurement support and advisory services to different line ministries of the Royal Government of Cambodia.
UNOPS KHOH is also overseeing business activities and/or providing Support and Services to UNOPS operations in other countries, within the Greater Mekong Sub-Region such as Lao PDR and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, as well as the Philippines, mainly focused on the infrastructure sector, but also encompassing good governance, trade facilitation and environmental issues.
In addition, KHOH is providing Support Services to the Malaria Programs and Regional Artemisinin Initiative (RAI) funded by the Global Fund to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (GFATM).
UNOPS KHOH is in the process of expanding its area of engagement in cooperation with different development partners, focusing mainly on a portfolio comprised of projects and programs in the infrastructure and environmental sectors, as well as continuing with the provision of transactional services (HR and Procurement services). For that, UNOPS is subsequently looking for qualified and committed experts that can contribute to fulfill our mandate in Greater Mekong Sub-Region and beyond.
Project Information
A national Covid-19 Action Plan for Cambodia has been developed by the Ministry of Health (MoH). It identifies upgrading and equipping of provincial hospitals as a key objective. Initial priorities of the emergency response have focussed on the procurement of medical equipment and supplies, however, it is also important to consider the suitability of the existing health facilities to use this equipment effectively to deal with the specific COVID-19 needs.
Therefore UNOPS will carry out a three-pronged program 1) Procurement and installation of 12 Oxygen Plants in 11 hospitals in Cambodia 2) Assessments of the selected health facilities (if/when required), in order to control and supervise the interventions to appropriately utilise the proposed medical equipment and accommodate the change in service delivery to suit COVID-19 needs,with emphasis on oxygen therapy. It will help to guarantee that equipment being procured under the COVID-19 emergency, that is needed in the provincial hospitals, is of the correct size and optimally located on-site. The assessments will focus on the COVID-19 response, but will also include peripheral space and wards and permanent health service improvements for the long-term, reducing the risk that highly valuable new equipment does not deliver their full benefits for the population. 3) Preparation of Civil works foundations for and connections to wards, for Oxygen Plants, in Phnom Penh and the provinces.
The MEP Engineer (consultant) will be required to conduct physical inspections of the eleven (11) main hospitals (if/when required) in order to control and supervise the recommendations for facilities upgrades to accommodate procurement requests and COVID-19 response service delivery needs.
