Position Purpose
The Foundation for Ageing and Inclusive Development (FAID) is a national organization dedicated to promoting inclusive development, enabling people of all ages—especially older people—to lead dignified, healthy, and secure lives. FAID will implement the project titled “SHIFA- Strengthening Health Inclusion and Feedback for the Aged” in district Charsadda, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa,” with technical support from HelpAge International and funding from the SIDA.
The Project “SHIFA: Strengthening Health Inclusion and Feedback for the Aged” is a 12-month initiative implemented by the Foundation for Ageing and Inclusive Development (FAID) in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, with a focus on Nowshera and Charsadda districts. The project aims to transform older persons from passive recipients of services into active agents of change within the health and disaster management systems.
The project addresses critical gaps in age-friendly healthcare by strengthening community-led social accountability and promoting inclusive health service delivery. A key strategy involves the formation and strengthening of Intergenerational Community Associations (ICAs), bringing together older people and youth to collaboratively monitor and improve public health services.
Through the Community Score Card (CSC) approach, ICAs will assess the quality, accessibility, and responsiveness of 40 public health facilities. These findings will be used to facilitate interface dialogues with health authorities, ensuring that community feedback leads to tangible improvements in services.
In addition, the project will conduct health screening camps for older people, generate evidence through a comparative analysis of service delivery models, and support advocacy at district and provincial levels through the Buzurg Dost Network. The project also integrates inclusive disaster risk reduction (DRR) by engaging communities in flood preparedness and medical evacuation planning.
Key expected outcomes include:
1- Increased awareness among older people about their rights and entitlements
2- Strengthened community-led accountability mechanisms in the health sector
3- Improved responsiveness of health services to the needs of older people
4- Evidence-based advocacy influencing age-friendly health policies in KP
The SHIFA project places strong emphasis on inclusion, participation, and safeguarding, ensuring meaningful engagement of older women, persons with disabilities, and other marginalized groups throughout the project cycle.
