Tenders Are Invited For National Consultant To Assess Mpdsr & Pda In Mihr Supported Health Facilities Place Of Performance

Tenders are invited for National Consultant to Assess Mpdsr & Pda in Mihr Supported Health Facilities Place of Performance: South Sudan (Bor, Budi, Juba, Jur River, Wau and Yambio Counties) Rationale and statement of the work: MPDSR has been there for many years, there is limited information on the experience and utility of MPDSR implementation in fragile and conflict affected regions. A 2022 published journal article on the status, and stakeholders insights and experience of implementing MPDSR in humanitarian settings revealed unique challenges related to these settings, including concerns about health worker security and moral distress. The revelations from this study came from the interviews of international stakeholders and health managers who support MPDSR work but did not involve local health providers and managers leading the MPDSR work in humanitarian settings. The increased burden of maternal deaths in humanitarian and fragile settings, adoption of MPDSR in global settings and unique implementation challenges in these settings, underscores the need to document the experience and context specific adaptations of MPDSR and PDA implementation in fragile settings. This activity will engage local implementers in sharing their implementation experiences, success, and challenges of the MPDSR implementation. Findings and lessons will be used to enhance programming within the country, support scale up, contribute to global learning and to other fragile and conflict affected settings. Goal of the assessment: To describe the MPDSR and PDA implementation in MIHR supported health facilities and provide context specific recommendations to improve the performance. General Objective: To describe the experience and the status of MPDSR and PDA implementations in MIHR project supported regions of Mali and South Sudan and provide the context specific recommendations for the improvements. Specific assessment objectives include: - Describe the status of the MPDSR/PDA implementation in the MIHR supported health facilities in South Sudan. - Identify and share any context specific adaptations made in support of the MPDSR implementation. - Identify challenges/barriers that hinders the implementation of MPDSR/PDA in MIHR supported health facilities in South Sudan. - Describe the perceived quality and clinical effect following MPDSR/PDA implementation in MIHR supported health facilities in South Sudan. - Describe how MPDSR and PDA leverage each other to improve the quality and use of care for both maternal, newborns and children. - Provide recommendations on ways to improve MPDSR and PDA implementation in MIHR supported health facilities in South Sudan.
