Tenders are invited for Consultancies for the Coordination and Management of the Mediterranean Health and Migration Hub. Closing Date: 7 Dec 2025 CALL FOR CONSULTANCIES FOR THE COORDINATION AND MANAGEMENT OF THE MEDITERRANEAN HEALTH AND MIGRATION HUB Location : remote Start date: December 15, 2025 End date: March 15, 2027 Type of contract: National or international consultation Languages: French (main) and English Number of days: between 50 and 55 days Mission context: The Euro-Mediterranean region, long shaped by deep human, cultural, political, and economic ties, has become a central area of increasingly restrictive migration policies. These policies are transforming the journeys, statuses, and rights of people on the move. Health, a fundamental right, is fully integrated into this process: access to it and its outcomes depend heavily on social determinants, among which migration is now a major factor. Committed to universal health coverage, Doctors of the World (MdM) recognizes that migration can exacerbate vulnerability and increase health risks. On the ground, on both sides of the Mediterranean, MdM and its partners observe the direct and profound effects of European migration policies on the health and rights of migrants. In both the North and the South, these individuals face various forms of violence during their migration journey, as well as in their countries of origin, host countries, and transit zones, further increasing their vulnerability. Border control and outsourcing policies have unavoidable health consequences: they make journeys more dangerous, limit access to fundamental rights and fuel a hostile climate, marked by a progressive reduction of the space given to Euro-Mediterranean civil society working to protect the rights of people on the move. Today, migration routes linking North Africa to Europe are among the most used, representing a significant share of arrivals on the European continent. In this context, it appears essential to strengthen coordination in data collection, advocacy and to further value the expertise of organizations active throughout the Euro-Mediterranean region. Mission framework Doctors of the World (MdM) is an international medical development NGO and part of a global network. We provide medical assistance to vulnerable groups in Belgium and around the world. We advocate for universal health coverage where everyone has access to care without barriers (financial, cultural, geographical, etc.). To successfully carry out our mission, we rely on three pillars: Providing care : giving populations real access to healthcare. Change : more than helping, we want to change things in the long term. Bearing witness : we do not remain silent. Thanks to our experience and our presence on the ground, we challenge the authorities (local, regional and (inter)national) with facts, figures and realities. In Belgium and around the world, our projects are aimed at all people who do not have or no longer have access to healthcare. In particular, they are structured around five areas: people on the margins of society (homeless people, undocumented migrants, drug users, sex workers, etc.); vulnerable children ; women (supported in their fight for equality or against sexual violence, for example); people on the move or displaced persons ; and victims of crises or conflicts . The XENIA project is a 36-month project (April 2024-March 2027) implemented by Doctors of the World Belgium (MdM) with financial support from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands as part of the Migration and Displacement program. It follows the following intervention logic: General Objective (GO): To contribute to the protection and resilience of people on the move, refugees, internally displaced persons and marginalized people within host communities in North Africa. Outcome 1: Strengthening the capacities and coordination of national partners for holistic and sustainable care of the most vulnerable people in North Africa Outcome 2: Strengthening the protection and resilience of vulnerable people in Tunisia and Morocco through holistic care Outcome 3: Promote and strengthen dialogue at local, regional and transnational levels on the protection of people on the move, refugees, asylum seekers and displaced persons through their meaningful participation in awareness-raising efforts. As part of outcomes 1 and 3, Doctors of the World Belgium is establishing a space for dialogue, research, knowledge sharing, and advocacy: the Mediterranean Health and Migration Hub ( MH2 ) .
