Consultants at Palladium Group (3 Openings)

Posted on Fri 16th Apr, 2021 - hotnigerianjobs.com --- (0 comments)


Palladium is a global leader in the design, development and delivery of Positive Impact - the intentional creation of enduring social and economic value. We work with corporations, governments, foundations, investors, communities and civil society to formulate strategies and implement solutions that generate lasting social, environmental and financial benefits.

We invite applications for the position below:

Job Title: Consultant for Difficulty to Remove Implant Training for Kebbi, Ebonyi States and the FCT Secondary and Tertiary Health Facilities Service Providers

Locations: Abuja, Ebonyi and Kebbi
Project Integrated Health Program Kebbi, Ebonyi States and the FCT

Subject RFP #:

  • TO4/217727/Consultancy/Fixed Price Contract-2021-0003
  • TO6/217727/Consultancy/Fixed Price Contract-2021-0003
  • TO7/217727/Consultancy/Fixed Price Contract-2021-0003

Project

  • The Demographic and Health Survey (DHS), 2018 shows that Ebonyi, state, Kebbi state and the FCT have total fertility rates (TFR) of 7.2, 6.5 and 7 children per woman respectively all of which are above the TFR of 5.3 nationally. Similarly, the modern contraceptive prevalence rate (CPR) in the states (Ebonyi– 5.2%, Kebbi - 3.2%, FCT-4.6) are lower than that of the national average of 12%(NDHS 2018). These poor indices can be reversed partly, with increased uptake of long acting reversible modern contraceptives in the 3 states, one of which is contraceptive implants.
  • Use of contraceptive implants has surged in recent years, yet emerging data show a deficit in service delivery capacity and coverage for implants removals. The number of projected removals needed in the 69 FP2020 focus countries in 2018 (4.9 - 5.8 million), Nigeria inclusive, is more than twice that estimated for 2015 (2.2 million). We must proactively plan and execute high-quality removal services in order to fulfil the exceptional promise of implants in meeting clients’ needs and advancing towards FP2020 goals
  • Implants removal is an essential component of contraceptive implant scale-up, critical to offering high-quality services and continuity of care that meets women’s and families’ family planning needs and fertility goals. Inadequate access to quality implant removal services leaves some clients on contraception even when they would prefer not to be, whether the intention is to conceive or change or discontinue the method for other reasons. This inability to access removal services within a reasonable time-frame consistent with access to other services compromises clients’ right and choices
  • Removal of implants is dependent on access to skilled providers. When implant users reach the end of the implant’s effectiveness or decide to discontinue the method for any reason, it is of paramount importance to ensure these users have access to quality removal services with competent providers, including removal of difficult-to-remove implants. Although most implants can be successfully removed by trained front-line health workers working in PHCs (nurses, midwives, CHEWs), a proportion of implants will be difficult to remove and will require referral and access to providers with specialized skills to remove difficult-to-remove implants. Typically, these specialized providers are located in hospitals.
  • The USAID Integrated Health Program (IHP) task orders 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 are multi-year, reproductive health/family planning, maternal, new-born and child health, nutrition, and malaria (RMNCH+NM) program being implemented Bauchi, Kebbi, Sokoto, Ebonyi states and the FCT respectively, under the IHP indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract. IHP aims to contribute to State level reductions in maternal and child morbidity and mortality and to increase the capacity of health systems (public and private) to sustainably support quality primary health care (PHC) services for RMNCH+NM.
  • One of the specific activities under the IHP is to build the capacity of health care workers to provide high-quality FP services and method mix, including the insertion and removal of implants (both routine removal and removal of deeply inserted implants using evidence-based approaches). This will increase access to quality Implants services.
  • In view of the above, one consultant is required to facilitate a seven-day competency-based training in 2 batches on difficult-to-remove implants for family planning service providers from selected Secondary and Tertiary hospitals in Kebbi, and Ebonyi states and the FCT.

Descriptions

  • Palladium invites applications from suitably qualified individual consultants to organize and facilitate a sevenday training in two batches (3 days per batch) on difficult-to-remove implants for family planning service  providers from selected Secondary and Tertiary hospitals in Ebonyi, and Kebbi States and the FCT.
  • In this Request for Proposal, Palladium expects offerors to develop training plans and proposal to Palladium for consideration. Bidders are required to provide justification for the work proposed methodology to be adopted.This will be a Best Value procurement.
  • This consultancy aims to plan, in collaboration with IHP and relevant stakeholders in Ebonyi, and Kebbi states and the FCT, the training of health service providers in selected secondary and tertiary hospitals on difficult to remove implants for family planning.

Type of Contract

  • This is a firm fixed price deliverable-based contract. The consultant is expected to satisfactorily accomplish the deliverables before he/she gets paid for that deliverable.
  • The IHP Chief of Party reserves the right to confirm if a deliverable is delivered adequately or otherwise.
  • No price change is expected after contract is signed. IHP will not pay for cost of any deliverable that is not complete, of quality or on time.

Anticipated Contract Term

  • The anticipated performance period for the consultancy is May 17, 2021 to September 30, 2021
  • As a firm fixed price consultancy based on deliverables, Palladium will only pay for deliverables that have met the standards and expectations of the program and which is also delivered within assigned timelines.

Scope of Work and Standards

  • The scope of the consultancy is to build the capacity of 20 - 24 family planning service providers per state. The 20 -24 participants in each state would be trained in two batches. Each batch will consist of 10-12 participants who will be trained over 21/2 days for each batch.
  • The participants will be selected from IHP supported secondary facilities in Kebbi, Ebonyi states and the FCT and at least 1 or 2 participants from 1 tertiary referral health facility in each state will also be included in the training.

Purpose

  • To build the capacity of family planning providers on identification and management of difficult contraceptive implant removals.

By the end of the training learners are expected to:

  • Provide pre-removal counselling with respect and care, answer any questions the woman may have, and ensure she understands the removal process, including potential adverse events

Scope of work – Key Tasks
