Palladium Family Planning Consultant Jobs in Malawi
Project Overview and RoleWhile Malawi has made major strides in increasing its modern contraceptive prevalence rate (mCPR), the country continues to experience low domestic budget availability for its family planning (FP) program, which remains dependent on external resources. Given funding constraints, Malawi wants to explore how it can increase access to family planning services for a lower unit cost, while increasing availability of a diverse selection of methods, removing barriers to access for vulnerable populations, and providing high quality care.
HP+ has designed a new Excel-based tool – the Family Planning Technical Efficiency Assessment – that will be applied in Malawi with stakeholders to diagnose, identify, and systematically pursue solutions for inefficiencies in the FP program.
Scope of Work
HP+ is seeking a consultant to support application of the Family Planning Technical Efficiency Assessment tool.
This primarily includes collecting relevant secondary data to diagnose inefficiencies and consulting with key stakeholders involved with implementing or managing Malawi’s FP program to discuss data needs, verify diagnostic results, identify root causes of inefficiencies, and solicit potential solutions.
The consultant will work closely with HP+ technical team (Malawi and Global team), other consultants employed by HP+ to conduct related FP assessments (including a consultant hired to assess Malawi’s progress in meeting FP2020 commitments), and the Reproductive Health Directorate in the Ministry of Health and Population to carry out the assessment.
The consultant will submit deliverables to Palladium for approval.
The expected key deliverables of the assignment include:
Secondary data for diagnosing technical inefficiencies across service delivery, demand creation, and program management in Excel template (includes year and source
of data)
Completed consultative meeting to validate diagnostic results (includes PowerPoint presentation on draft diagnostic results)
Completed consultative meeting to identify root causes and evaluate potential solutions to FP program inefficiencies (includes PowerPoint presentation to help guide discussion)
A final completed Family Planning Technical Efficiency Assessment Excel file that reflects inputs from stakeholders and feedback from HP+ and RHD.
