UNICEF works in some of the world’s toughest places to reach the world’s most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential. Across 190 countries and territories we work for every child everywhere every day to build a better world for everyone. And we never give up. For every child evaluate The UNICEF Evaluation Office located in New York HQ provides global leadership and oversight of the evaluation function in the organization. As such it manages independent corporate evaluations and evaluation syntheses provides technical assistance and quality assurance for evaluations commissioned at the decentralized level (country and regional offices as well as other divisions in HQ offices) develop evaluation methods and reports to the UNICEF Executive Board. The work of the Evaluation Office is guided by the Plan for Global Evaluation 022-2025 (PGE) an Executive Board-approved document. As part of that plan the Evaluation Office was to conduct an evaluation of UNICEF’s contribution to the Access to Tools (ACT) Accelerator a global collaboration launched in April 2020 to accelerate the development production and equitable access to new COVID-19 diagnostics therapeutics and vaccines. Due to issues of scope and timing this evaluation has been re-framed as an evaluation to be conducted jointly with Gavi the Vaccine Alliance and the World Health Organization (WHO) focused on COVAX (ACT’s vaccine pillar) and the delivery/implementation stage of the partnership. By conducting a joint evaluation the burden on countries and partners is potentially reduced by consolidating efforts. As a unique global partnership COVAX the evaluation builds on these partnership arrangements for the purposes of ‘evaluating as a partnership’. Importantly this effort builds on work of the Gavi Evaluation and Learning Office which has planned and budgeted for a series of evaluations examining the work of the COVAX specifically the COVAX Facility and Advanced Market Commitment(s). The Gavi Evaluation and Learning Unit Office will commission and lead the management of the joint evaluation. COVAX was established in April 2020 to make at-risk investments in a broad portfolio of promising vaccine candidates and enable the manufacture and equitable distribution of successful candidates through rapid scale up delivery of vaccines to cover high risk target groups. To support this mission COVAX brought together expertise and resources from international institutions across the global vaccine ecosystem: The Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) Gavi the Vaccine Alliance WHO and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF). Once vaccines became available on the market during 2021 the aim to scale up global vaccinations and slow transmission of the virus was impeded primarily by of the COVID-19 vaccine. With the support of many significant efforts were made to ensure enough vaccines were available for low- and middle-income countries and economies. By January 2022 the global supply of vaccines was no longer a binding constraint and the main challenge had become vaccine delivery. The remit of the COVID-19 Vaccine Delivery Partnership (CoVDP) is to support countries by providing urgent time-bound and specialized support using emergency response practices to overcome financial political and operational bottlenecks while playing a coordinating and convening role. In CoVDP agencies were brought together under one organizational ‘umbrella’ for strategic alignment led by a global lead coordinator with strong connections to senior leadership within the agencies and capacity for political engagement at the highest levels of political decision-making within countries. The work of CoVDP built on global and regional coordination mechanisms that were established by UNICEF and WHO through the Country Readiness and Delivery working group developed comprehensive guidance tools and training packages for each new vaccine and provided updates with new evidence and EUL approvals to support vaccine introduction and roll out. Between January and November 2022 CoVDP had facilitated the disbursement of $128 million in quick-impact funding through a process that included a regular funding alignment mechanism between UNICEF and partners across 16 countries. Funds were used to support campaigns that contributed to the vaccination of an estimated 63 million people. Among the measures of progress reported among the 34 countries for concerted support coverage increased from 3 per cent to 20 per cent by November 2022. UNICEF. 2023.

How can you make a difference? In May 2023 the partners agencies in COVAX (Gavi WHO UNICEF CEPI) began a dialogue about a joint evaluation to address issues of in-country delivery of COVID-19 vaccines. By conducting a joint evaluation the partners are potentially reducing burden on countries and partners by consolidating their efforts. In addition as a unique global partnership COVAX the evaluation (in principle) builds on these partnership arrangements for the purposes of ‘evaluating as a partnership. The key expected result is timely and effective support provided in a joint and coordinated manner with partners resulting in efficient engagement and contribution across UNICEF (country offices regional offices and HQ divisions) and to maximize learning across the same based on the evaluation.

Project Overview And Role Primary Duties and Responsibilities: Invitation for Expression of Interest in the Consultancy Services for the Review and Analysis of all Health Sector cadres Introduction The Malawi Ministry of Health its development partners and other stakeholders have developed the Health Sector Strategic Plan III (2023-2030). Its goal is to move towards Universal Health Coverage (UHC) of quality equitable and affordable health care with the aim of improving health status financial risk protection and client satisfaction. The HSSP III has identified key reforms that aim to propel the health sector towards UHC attainment. They include integration of health care delivery a One Plan One Budget and One Report establishing a sector-wide performance management system and increasing domestic revenue for health. Integration of care delivery implies moving from vertical disease systems to integrated service packages at primary secondary and tertiary levels aligned to streamlined standards of care for improvements in effective and efficient care delivery. The service packages will be defined alongside health systems inputs and processes required to deliver them including the human resource requirement. In this context health workforce with the right background skills and training is required at all levels of the healthcare system and the broader public health system to ensure access to quality healthcare.[1] Thus the Ministry of Health through the HR directorate wants to conduct an in-depth review of the existing government cadres in the system and supporting cadres who may be outside of the system and identify any gaps that may exist and competencies that are needed to deliver service packages. In line with the integration of care reform of the HSSP III this means identifying the essential workforce required to deliver integrated and quality services. Furthermore this also means identifying specific needs for the various programs under the purview of the Ministry of Health and ensuring that the established cadres are relevant to Malawi’s updated epidemiological profile and the current health sector needs and align with the overall strategy and vision of the Ministry of Health. This analysis will therefore facilitate a consultative process to analyze the current cadres within the health system and identify any gaps that exist. It will provide specific recommendations as to new cadres that need to be included within the health work force as well as identify any cadres that may not be relevant anymore. This analysis will then inform the need for a functional review. Consultancy Plan The Ministry of Health seeks to recruit a consultant (or a team of consultants) for this process. The aim of the consultancy is to facilitate consultative dialogues with all relevant stakeholders to identify the needs for specific cadres and the gaps that exist within the current system. The process will involve analyzing existing MOH and donor HRH data facilitating workshops and dialogues as well as key informant interviews with all relevant divisions and programs of the Ministry of Health including Community and Promotive Health Department Disease Control Division Curative and Rehabilitation Services Quality Management Nursing and Midwifery Public Health Institute Reproductivity Health Department HIV/AIDS and Nutrition Department as well as key personnel at all levels including health centre and community health facility levels and district and central hospitals. Specific Tasks: The Consultant(s) will be responsible for the following specific tasks: * Examine the situation analysis undertaken within the HSSP III and isolate key changes by each pillar of the HSSP III that have implications of introducing new skills and cadres in the health system of Malawi. * Examine the changes in the burden of disease and other public health threats over the last 20 years (including pandemics outbreaks climate shocks) over the last 20 years and anticipated changes in the next 10 or more years to inform health workforce knowledge competencies and skills that are required at each level of the health system in synergy with other ongoing HSSP III reform activities assessing the changing disease burden in Malawi. * Undertake an in-depth analysis to develop a consolidated list of existing cadres both in and outside establishment and their specific roles within the current healthcare system. * Assess job specifications of each healthcare cadre against the daily responsibilities undertaken by that cadre highlighting any discrepancies and make recommendations for any changes. * Analyse role descriptions of various cadres to ensure any synergies are appropriately leveraged and specific tasks that are better conducted by other cadres are identified and flagged also noting any linkages to the Health Service Packages and analysis of integration. * Examine the implications and appropriateness of task-shifting across cadres. In the cases of task-shifting taking place highlight the specific skills that need to be added to a cadre’s description or whether a new cadre needs to be introduced. * Work with personnel within the MoH HR directorate and with HSSP III reform teams to develop a consolidated list of current cadres that are recruited in the health system but are not within the establishment (such as HIV * Diagnostic Assistants psychosocial counsellors and phlebotomists) and those that are planned (such as Public Health specialists with an MMed in Public Health aligned with the new WHO public health workforce roadmap). * Analyse how these cadres can be absorbed into the establishment by identifying specific skills-building and training that can be undertaken to repurpose cadres outside the establishment or updating the role descriptions of existing cadres to incorporate specific responsibilities of current cadres outside the establishment. * Identify key programs and directorates within the MoH and facilitate interviews / focus groups with each of them to gain an understanding of current needs and gaps within the healthcare system in the context of Malawi’s current situation as well as the strategic vision of Malawi’s HSSP III and the Health Service Packages. * For each of the needs identified clearly identify the specific skills role description and training required for the existing cadres. * Similarly for each of the gaps identified clearly identify the specific skill profile that will fit the role and develop detailed role descriptions. * Aligning with the HSSP III platforms of care integration other HSSP III reforms and ongoing programmatic prioritization conduct wider focus groups and stakeholder workshops to identify synergies across various needs in the healthcare system. This will ensure that to the extent possible role descriptions of cadres reflect the need and ability to provide integrated service delivery. * Facilitate workshops with key stakeholders across various levels of healthcare service delivery (including stakeholders from district and central hospitals) to build consensus on role descriptions of specific cadres at each level of healthcare supports service delivery at the other levels. * Develop overall recommendations for the Ministry of Health which outline the specific cadres that are required within the establishment aligned to the outcomes of the Health Service Packages and whether the establishment of these cadres would entail repurposing / replacing current cadres as a result of a change in the relevance of specific cadres or establishing new cadres within the system. This also includes identifying the specific levels of care at which each health care cadre is required. Deliverables * Inception report * Interviews/focus groups/workshop reports and HRH data analysis * Final analysis report including recommendations for changes to the current HRH competencies and skills * Power point presentation summarizing the key findings * Reporting and oversight arrangement The Consultant(s) will report to the Director of Planning via the Deputy Director Planning and Budgeting and the Director of Human Resources Management and Development.
