Short-term Consultancy – End of Project Evaluation

humedica e.V., a German humanitarian organization founded in 1979, is mandated to respond to medical and non-medical emergencies across the world. Since 2012, humedica has been continuously present in Lebanon and is currently funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).

In Lebanon, humedica supports a network of Primary Health Care Centers that provide services for both the host Lebanese communities and the Syrian refugees. The organization ensures access to key primary care and mental health and psychosocial support services through direct service provision by its specialized staff, along with services provided through its partner institutions.

Beyond primary care, humedica contributes to the strengthening of secondary health services through support in referrals, diagnostic capacity, and rehabilitation efforts that bridge the gap from primary to hospital-level care. It involves assistance in areas like diagnostic imaging, consultations with specialists, physiotherapy, and coordinated follow-up of cases for continuity of treatment and improvement in patient outcomes.

In addition, humedica carries out community-based outreach activities to strengthen the health resilience of vulnerable populations. The organization also operates an MMU charged with delivery of primary health care, health education, and essential medication to Syrian residents living in informal tented settlements across the Bekaa Valley, reaching communities with limited access to formal health structures. 

In support of our work and to improve our future engagement, humedica is looking for a Short-term Consultancy - End of Project Evaluation, Bekaa Valley–Zahle / Lebanon.
