  • Consultancy, Malaria Investment Case Chief of Party (COP) Deputy Chief of Party Gender Finance Consultant

    Consultancy, Malaria Investment Case Chief of Party (COP) Deputy Chief of Party Gender Finance Consultant

    Primary Duties and Responsibilities: 
    The Kenya Malaria Strategy (KMS) is a strategic framework with medium-term targets and high-level activities and a monitoring and evaluation component all aligned with the national health sector strategic plan. The overall goal of the KMS 2019-2023 is to reduce malaria incidence and death by 75 percent of 2016 levels by 2023.The implementation of the KMS has enabled the national level malaria prevalence (6 months to 14 years) decreased from 8.2% in 2015 to 5.6% in 2020. The reduction in prevalence has also been facilitated by investments in health by the National and County governments which have steadily been increasing since devolution. The public sector health budget expanded from Ksh 94 billion in FY 2012/13 (pre-devolution) to Ksh 217 billion in FY 2019/20.
    Strategic programmes such as malaria, tuberculosis, and HIV, are heavily dependent on donor support, particularly for key commodities. Donor contribution to the sector over the years has been decreasing, and this may affect key programmes and activities that are heavily donor dependent. With the decrease in donor financing for malaria, the country requires a blueprint that guides on ensuring that smarter investments are made towards malaria for sustainability. This includes evaluating all possible sources of sustainable financing for malaria that will contribute towards controlling and eventually eliminating malaria in Kenya.
    Developing an investment case for sustainable financing in Kenya will contribute towards increased domestic resource mobilization for malaria at both the national and county levels. An investment case for health uses economic analyses to inform costs and improvements in survival and quality of life. An investment case for malaria for Kenya provides an opportunity to inform successful provision of malaria control and interventions that seek to ensure a malaria free Kenya while moving forward the UHC agenda.
    USAID/Health Policy Plus (HP+) seeks the services of a consultant/technical expert who is knowledgeable and experienced enough to deliver a malaria investment case based on the given background.

    Justification
    The investment case is needed to determine the how much investment will be required to ensure the successful implementation of interventions leading to positive outcomes. The investment case will also estimate how much is gained from each shilling invested in selected interventions thereby determining return of investments for these selected interventions. The final Investment Case will be used as a policy and advocacy tool for sustainable domestic resources for Malaria programming in Kenya.
    Objectives

    To highlight the strategic shifts and the domestic financing options that are needed to make the greatest impact on the epidemic by 2030.
    To determine how much investment will be needed to ensure the successful implementation of interventions leading to positive outcomes considering national and global developments.
    To estimate how much is gained from each shilling invested in selected interventions thereby determining return of investments for these selected interventions’ sustainability.
    To undertake a cost benefit analysis to provide information that will link costs of interventions to benefits experienced per epidemiological zone.
    To estimate present possible scenarios if there is no improved funding for malaria.

    Expectations of the Consultancy
    The consultant is expected to develop a methodology including data collection tools that will be implemented to achieve the output.
