Background
The GEF Consortium, led by TRAHI, is dedicated to promoting inclusive healthcare that meets the needs
of marginalized groups, including trans-women, LBQ women, female sex workers, and other vulnerable
communities. Despite existing healthcare programs, stigma, discrimination, and cultural insensitivity
within healthcare systems hinder equitable access to essential services for these groups. To address this
challenge, we are seeking a qualified consultant to design a comprehensive Inclusive Health Training
(IHT) curriculum that equips primary healthcare workers with the skills and knowledge necessary to
provide non-discriminatory, culturally sensitive care. This training will enhance healthcare workers’
ability to address the unique needs of diverse populations and foster a more inclusive healthcare
environment in Lagos and Ogun States.

- Gender sensitivity and inclusivity in healthcare

- Strategies to reduce stigma and discrimination in healthcare settings
- Cultural competence and respectful care for trans-women, LBQ women, and female sex workers
- Legal and ethical frameworks for non-discriminatory healthcare practices
- Collaborate with stakeholders, including healthcare professionals and community representatives, to
ensure the curriculum reflects local realities and needs. - Create training materials and resources, including manuals, presentations, and case studies.
- Pilot the curriculum through a test session and integrate feedback to refine content.
- Provide a final report and implementation plan to ensure the smooth rollout of the curriculum across
Lagos and Ogun States.
