  • Request for Proposals (RFP) Kisumu County Community Health Program Mixed Methods Evaluation

    Request for Proposals (RFP) Kisumu County Community Health Program Mixed Methods Evaluation

    In Kenya, we partner and support national and county governments to drive improved health outcomes nationally, and to embrace and own the main elements of the DESC approach, in which community health workers (CHWs) are Digitally enabled, Equipped, Supervised, and Compensated (DESC).

    LG aims to drive greater impact by supporting the Kenyan government to sustainably operationalize and finance its own community health systems at scale. To do this, we are partnering with County Governments and other partner organizations to co-design and operationalize DESC more broadly and align with governments goals.

    Kisumu County recently signed a memorandum of understanding with Living Goods. In this agreement, LG will provide technical assistance to Kisumu County based on over 10 years of experience in supporting community health programs in Uganda and Kenya. By leveraging the DESC community health program, households will have increased access to timely and quality maternal, newborn, and child healthcare services which will consequently improve maternal, newborn and child health outcomes.

    In its partnership with Kisumu County, Living Goods will provide digital tools and capacity building on DESC Implementation and performance management. Kisumu County will provide access to essential medicines and provide CHW compensation based on a priori defined performance indicators thresholds. Data collected using the applications will be visualized on a real-time basis. This will enhance the Kisumu County and Sub County Health Management Team’s ability (SCHMT) to make decisions based on data. LG and Kisumu County plan to embed an evaluation to assess the impact and cost effectiveness of the program as well as best practices, and insights for decision making.

    In addition, Living Goods is working nationally alongside the Government of Kenya and its partners to develop and operationalize an electronic community health information system (eCHIS) as part of health sector reforms to achieve UHC and enhance data use at all levels. Having supported the Kenya MOH to successfully pilot integration of community-level data into KHIS in 2019, Living Goods is the lead technical support partner on performance management, M&E, data use and wraparound services. Kisumu County is one of the pilot counties to roll out the new eCHIS system and improve health outcomes by leveraging digitally empowered CHWs to ensure the seamless flow of reliable and timely data from the community to the national level.

    Section II: Purpose and Objective of the Evaluation

    The aim is to evaluate the implementation of a DESC-enabled community health worker program, including impact on RMNCH outcomes. The evaluation should include process evaluation, impact evaluation and economic evaluation components.

    The specific research objectives are:

    To measure changes in maternal and child health outcomes
    To determine changes in utilization of maternal and child community health services.
    To determine the changes in health seeking behaviour of caregivers of under-5 for iCCM and women for maternal health services.
    To assess the cost effectiveness of the DESC-enabled community health program
    To assess the process of implementation and the transferability of the findings to other settings, including other counties of Kenya due to political, health system, and epidemiological variation
    To identify challenges and best practices in implementing DESC community health and providing sustainable technical assistance to counties in Kenya

    Section III: Scope of Research Design, Timelines, Deliverables and Budget

    Study Design and Sampling

    Living Goods and the County Government of Kisumu plan to implement a phased DESC-enabled community health program in Kisumu County. Here, all CHWs from systematically selected community units (CUs) will be trained and enrolled into the DESC community program at predefined timepoints and with clear roles and responsibilities.

    We plan to embed a research evaluation alongside implementation of the program to enable the development of robust evidence to guide scaling to similar counties in Kenya and beyond. The consultants are therefore requested to define a study with a clear counterfactual and that accounts for the phased program implementation. We anticipate data collection (including use of routine HMIS data, qualitative data, and household surveys) at three-time points; baseline, midline (month 12) and endline (month 24). In addition to the quantitative data collection, the surveys should examine health seeking behaviors, DESC implementation challenges, barriers faced in utilization of health services and utilization of CHW services by the community. At minimum, the proposed study should include household surveys, economic evaluation, and a health system assessment. Where direct measurements cannot be made, the consultants should propose how this data can be modeled or estimated. The rigor and quality of the research should make it eligible for publication in a peer-reviewed journal.

    The research consultants are expected to prepare a detailed proposal for Living Goods’ review including a robust study design to rigorously assess the impact of the DESC community health program across the county. The proposal should explain the rationale for the design, the sampling strategy and sample size calculations to be used. In addition, the criteria for evaluation will examine the robustness of the relevant experience, logical presentation, and cost alongside the technical evaluation.

    Timelines

    The entire activity after proposal approval is estimated to take 3 years (36 months) including Protocol development, ethical review, baseline, midline, and end line data collection, data analyses, development of research outputs and dissemination. The baseline survey is expected be conducted latest December 2021.

    BUDGET AND PAYMENT

    Although the protocol description should include the entire study design, we will initially contract for the baseline survey. Therefore, please provide a complete budget with distinct estimates for the baseline, midline and end line separately. The service provider should demonstrate interest to run the study to completion. Payments will be milestone-based and linked to the project deliverables. All milestone deliverables must be confirmed in writing via email by the service provider to the delegated LG Senior Program Manager for approval and release of payment by finance.
