Scope of work: Developing evidence-based recommendations for private sector roles in continuous distribution systems for LLINs.
Background: The agenda of many donors is increasingly encouraging private/public partnerships within the health sector and a number of countries have either ongoing continuous distribution systems using private sector resources (Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya, Mozambique) or have experience from such efforts in the past (Ghana, Senegal). NetWorks will assemble the available data and produce a review of the experience to date, with the objective of synthesizing specific recommendations and/or gaps in current knowledge. This paper will focus on support to continuous distribution systems, and thus will not incorporate campaign/mass distribution activities.
Timeframe: The consultants are expected to discuss progress and challenges in regular telephone calls with the NetWorks Project team. A draft version of the paper should be ready by the 15th of October 2011 for an initial review, with final revision on the basis of comments by the NetWorks team by November 15, 2011. We estimate objectives one and two will take 15 days each and objective 3 will take 7 working days total for initial and final drafts.
Qualifications: Field experience in the planning, supervision and management of LLIN distribution and private sector engagement, particularly in Africa. Demonstrated experience in writing for publication, in English. Ability to read French is preferred.
