    Job Description/Requirements
    Background
    Kenya, like the rest of the world, recognizes the serious threat that the on-going COVID-19 outbreak poses. The continued spread of the virus poses a burden to an already weakened health system in Kenya, characterized by inadequate health personnel, inequity in the distribution of health facilities, inadequate budgetary allocation, inadequate equipment & commodities and a high burden of disease.
    The country has now recorded COVID-19 cases in all 47 Counties. Readiness to respond to COVID-19 pandemic requires health facilities to not only have adequate health infrastructure including critical care beds with functional ventilators and oxygen, but also adequate supply of medical commodities including personal protective equipment (PPE), Infection prevention materials and appropriate drugs. Availability and implementation of COVID sensitive screening and referral systems is critical, as is human resource who are trained, knowledgeable and motivated to respond to COVID-19.
    It is therefore imperative to understand the level of readiness of health facilities in terms of actual availability of medical supplies, infrastructure and equipment, support systems as well as availability of health workers in adequate numbers and skills. This will aid in adequate planning to ensure that health facilities have the necessary resources to respond to the pandemic at any one time.
    WHO has developed international technical guidance available for countries to support them to conduct health systems preparedness and performance monitoring during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Ministry of Health is currently using this suite of tools to regularly collect selected information from high level facilities and facilities designated as COVID-19 isolation centres as well as selected primary care facilities. The information collected will supplement the routine data on COVID-19 and related services to help in assessing overall preparedness in response and mitigation during the COVID-19 pandemic.
    The data for this assessment will be collected electronically using KOBO Collect platform into which the research assistants will enter data as they interview the respondents by telephone.
    Roles and responsibilities of the Consultancy
    The consultant will work closely with the MoH-Kenya and WHO to customize Covid-19 facility assessment tools on the KoboCollect platform and support data collection during this assessment. More specifically, the consultant will be responsible for:

    Creation of personalized user accounts for security and accountability.
