Project Overview and Role:

Primary Duties and Responsibilities:

By end of 2020, 38
of the 45 countries which made commitments to the FP2020 partnership had
developed their first or second Costed Implementation Plan (CIPs). Regular and
systematic monitoring of CIPs can help countries to better manage execution of
their plans by generating insights on areas that are advancing or lagging,
while identifying and handling risks that can limit success. Through a
stakeholder-inclusive process, CIP performance monitoring can also enhance
accountability to achieve national goals and global commitments. Further,
performance monitoring can help countries be more efficient in resource
allocation, allowing stakeholders to better align funding with CIP priority
areas and gain efficiencies.

With USAID
funding, HP+ defined a process for monitoring performance of a CIP, and
developed a performance monitoring tool, referred to as the CIP Performance
Dashboard. supported 11 countries in building their CIP performance monitoring
platforms (Benin, Cote d’Ivoire, Ghana, Guinea, Liberia, Malawi, Mali,
Madagascar, Niger, Tanzania, and Togo). HP+ has supported the development of
key performance indicators and performance targets in these countries and has
set up the Microsoft Excel dashboards in Mali, Malawi, Tanzania, and Togo and
web-based dashboards in Ghana and Madagascar

HP+ now intends to
assess and document stakeholders’ perspectives on the relevance, ease of use,
and utility of the tool (i.e., the CIP dashboard) and process (data collection,
analysis and review) in supporting CIP performance monitoring; in addition, HP+
plans to collect information to understand how the data generated has
facilitated decision-making related to improving coordination and resource
mobilization or allocation.

Tanzania is one of
the countries selected to undertake this assessment. The country adopted the
excel-based dashboard in 2019 and is currently working on setting up its
web-based dashboard. By mid-October 2021, Tanzania would have conducted two performance
review meetings. USAID, through the Health Policy Plus (HP+) project, worked
with the Reproductive and Child Health Section and partners to develop key
performance indicators to monitor execution of the key results identified in
the CIP.

Scope of
Work

HP+ is seeking
consultancy support to conduct key informant interviews (KIs) to inform the
objectives of this assessment. HP+ envisions the consultant to conduct KIs with
at least five stakeholders, including the government lead focal point persons for
the CIP, FP monitoring, and routine health data, as well as representatives
from implementing partners, civil society, and development partners.

As a deliverable,
HP+ will require the consultant to submit an audio recording and transcript for
each interview conducted, and a 1–2-page summary of findings from the interviews.
