The Continuity of Cardiometabolic Diseases (CMD) Care in Crisis (CiC) Phase II programme seeks to improve prevention and management of CMDs among crisis-affected populations in Kenya, Somalia, and Ethiopia through integrated community and health system approaches. Building on achievements, experiences and insights from Continuity of NCD Care in Crisis programme and other NCD initiatives, the Danish Red Cross (DRC) is proposing Phase II of the Continuity of NCD Care in Crisis (CiC) programme—a four-year effort, Continuity of CMD Care in Crisis (CMDCiC) supported by Novo Nordisk Foundation.
The expected outcome of the programme is enhanced continuity of care for crisis-affected populations in East Africa through context-adapted CMD services delivered through the Red Cross Red Crescent network.
CMDs—including hypertension and diabetes—are increasing in humanitarian settings, yet remain underprioritized due to limited data, weak health systems, and low health literacy. The programme prioritizes community empowerment, behaviour change, and self-care, using human-centred and evidence-based
approaches.
The four interconnected programme outcomes include:
- Outcome 1: Increased access of crisis affected populations to CMD care services at the primary healthcare level in Ethiopia, Kenya, and Somalia.
- Outcome 2: Crisis-affected communities and patients are empowered to engage in CMD prevention, early detection, and self-care across target countries
- Outcome 3: CMD care is integrated into emergency preparedness and response at local and national level across target countries
- Outcome 4: Evidence from cross-country implementation research informed effective CMD care models and influenced national and global policy change
The programme integrates a comprehensive monitoring framework with outcome and output indicators spanning across the 4 programmatic outcomes, tracked from baseline, through mid-line to end-line. This Terms of Reference focuses on Outcome 2 and outcomes related to the uptake of healthy behaviour.
To support evidence-informed implementation, a Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices (KAP) survey will be conducted.
