Purposes and Objectives
Over the last three years, UNICEF Tanzania has been supporting the
Ministry of Health, Gender, Elderly and Children through the National
AIDS Control Program (NACP) to improve VMMC services in the country. The
support has been continuously for the past three years through upstream
support to the NACP and the VMMC technical working group (TWG). To
date, UNICEF’s technical support is understood as having contributed to
improved program data analysis, coordination and the standardization of
the national VMMC package and guidelines. This work was supported
through a dedicated technical assistance staff who has completed the TA
support to the government.
Going forward UNICEF would like to focus on a few strategic
deliverables which remain to be achieved under the current donor and
government agreements which necessitate the recruitment of a technical
consultant to support the achievement of these deliverables.
Recommended:
The specific purpose and objectives of the consultancy assignment are as follows.
- Assess and document the implementation of the pilot VMMC service in Dar es Salaam region.
- Conduct stakeholder meetings and develop a dissemination plan for the VMMC sustainability implementation manual.
- Conduct stakeholder meetings and develop a monitoring plan for the implementation of the VMMC sustainability implementation manual.
- Share and present the reports at the VMMC technical working group meetings and incorporate any feedback.
- Assess and document UNICEF’s support (2016-2019) provided to the National VMMC program and identify strengths and future opportunities.
Methodology and technical approach
This assignment involves consulting and documentation of different
sources of information including those related to UNICEF VMMC support to
the Government through NACP. The consultant will conduct desk review of
documents, consult with government, IPs and development partners and
develop an inception report. For the specific assignment on documenting
UNICEF VMMC supported activities to the national program, the
information will rely on available secondary data from the VMMC
supported activities to the NACP, technical working group meetings and
at national level and beneficiaries where relevant. For the
documentation of the VMMC pilot project in Dar Es Salaam, this
assignment will involve site visits and observation of provision of
services at site level and participation in the VMMC internal quality
assurance process for gathering data. The consultant will be expected to
convene some consultative meetings with VMMC officials at national
level and any relevant officials from implementing partners. The
consultant will also be required to have a thorough understanding of
both the VMMC sustainability road map and the implementation manual. A
consultative process will also be required when developing the
monitoring score card for the implementation of the sustainability
manual.
