Deadline: 9 March 2017
The UK’s Department for International Development (DFID) is currently seeking applications for its programme titled- Increasing Demand for Family Planning through Interventions to Change Shared Behaviours and Beliefs.
The purpose of the programme will be to support health system reforms for improved reproductive, maternal, neonatal, child and adolescent health (RMNCAH) in Mozambique.
The programme will achieve this through three main components:
- Supply side support to strengthen health policy and service delivery provide technical and financial support through a UN Consortium (consisting of UNFPA, UNICEF and WHO) to strengthen health systems for improved RMNCAH delivery. Management and policy support will be provided at the central level while at the sub-national level up to three provinces will be supported to deliver quality health services in communities and health centres. The support which should not be any larger than £23.5m should complement the Global Financing Facility, a new global financing platform for RMNCAH for which Mozambique becomes eligible in June 2017.
- Demand side support to generate demand for family planning Provide up to £5.5m to create an enabling environment for adolescents in rural areas to be able to delay or space pregnancy. This is likely to include innovative approaches such as work on social communications to address behaviours around sexual and reproductive health as well as engaging with the market on family planning services. This second component is the focus of these terms of reference and this contract opportunity.
- Coordination and oversight of UK investments in the health sector. The total UK footprint in the sector is bigger than our bilateral programme. We will work to ensure that there is increased coordination across UK investments in health whenever possible.
