IHP + Annual M&E Review - Request for Proposals
Dear all,
I would like to request your support in circulating this email widely. The <http://www.internationalhealthpartnership.net/>International Health Partnership (IHP) was launched in September 2007, with all signatories signing a Global Compact to achieve the health MDGs. The Partnership now includes 10 developing countries, 13 donors, and 9 international organizations, and has evolved to become the IHP and Related Initiatives (IHP+) in recognition of the fact that its launch coincided with a range of other initiatives with similar goals. The IHP+ is requesting proposals for a North-South Consortium to annually perform a monitoring and evaluation review to hold all signatories to account on the performance and progress of the IHP Global and Country Compacts to achieve the MDGs.
This review will be based on a <http://www.internationalhealthpartnership.net/pdf/IHP_Monitoring_and_Evaluation_EN_FINAL_%20June_2008.pdf>common evaluation framework and with the following objectives:
1. Assess progress of the IHP+ in supporting implementation of national health plans and strategies in terms of funding inputs, processes, outputs, health outcomes, and health impact. Assessments will be linked with existing independent monitoring and evaluation processes (e.g. academic and parliamentary reviews, etc.).
2. Review adherence to specific commitments made in the Global Compact and individual Country Compacts by national and international stakeholders in terms of resources committed and agreed changes in behaviours/procedures.
3. Make specific recommendations to individual countries, agencies and development partners.
Proposals should:
- Demonstrate understanding of the IHP+, aid effectiveness, health systems and national health planning processes.
- Describe the proposed methodology, drawing on previous experience and referencing key documents and relevant aspects of evaluation literature.
- Summarise how the review will be managed, providing names and descriptions of individual and institutions engaged in performing the work.
- Identify set-up costs to establish the Consortium for the initial 6-month period and annual running costs for the 3 year period, 2009 to 2011.
Minimum required qualifications:
- 10+ years experience performing transnational qualitative and
quantitative evaluations in the area of human development
- Part of an established 'north-south' collaboration, with work led by southern-based institutions
- Development experience in the African and Asian regions
- Proven capability to work with national and international institutions
- Proven ability to prepare timely and succinct reports
