PROVISION OF
CONSULTANCY SERVICES FOR DEVELOPMENT OF STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES (SOPS)
FOR HEALTH FACILITY, COMMUNITY AND SCHOOL BASED ITN DISTRIBUTION IN TANZANIA
MAINLAND AND ZANZIBAR (RFQ 0028 2021)
1. Background and project description Johns Hopkins
University Centre for Communication Programs (Referred as ‘CCP) is an American
NGO registered to operate in Tanzania as an Organization limited by guarantee
and is domiciled in Tanzania. On 22nd January 2008 the Organization was issued
a Certificate of Compliance No 1982 as a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO)
having met the requirement of the NGO status.
The USAID Tanzania Vector Control Activity (TVCA) is a USAID
funded project that implements proven evidence-based vector control approaches
in Tanzania, focusing on insecticide treated nets (ITNs). TVCA works with the
Government of Tanzania sector ministries and malaria partners, providing state
of the art reviews advice, and plans concerning developments in vector control
and their implementation.
2. Purpose of the consultancy services (RFQ 0028 2021)
As part of TVCAs role of supporting continuous and equitable
access to ITNs, the project has supported the National Malaria Control
Programme (NMCP) Presidents Office Regional Authority and Local Government
{(PORALG), and Zanzibar Malaria Elimination Programme (ZAMEP) to revise the
existing implementation guidelines for health facility based, school based, and
community based ITN distribution. The revised guidelines reflect the current
best field practices, lessons learned from past implementation and challenges
from the past implementation of these distribution channels.
The revised guidelines will be used to develop brief and
concise Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) documents for health facility
based, school based, and community based ITN distribution. The SOPs will serve
as simple handy and readily available reference material (in electronic form)
for reference, orientation, and re orientation on implementing these channels at
all levels. Implementers will use the SOPs at national and sub national levels.
CCP would like to invite interested, competent, registered
and reputable individual Consultant or company to submit their Expression of
Interest (EOI) to provide consultancy services to convert the revised
implementation guidelines for health facility based (for both Mainland and Zanzibar),
school based (for Mainland only) and community based (for Zanzibar only) ITN distribution
into brief and concise Standard SOPs documents. The SOPs will cover relevant content
on all aspects of implementation for these channels. The SOPs will be developed
in both English and Kiswahili.
3. Timeframe Work will commence after the execution of the
agreement by both CCP and the Consultant. All deliverables should be completed
within eight weeks of the execution of the agreement.
4. Required Experience Previous experience in developing
Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) in the health facility community and
school based is highly desirable.
