Position

Options seeks a consultant to support the Deputy Chief of Party of the ExpandPF programme in the design of a workshop that will take place in the four countries (Mauritania, Togo, Ivory Coast and Cameroon) of implementation.

The Consultant is expected to work with the Deputy Chief of Party (DCOP) for the ExpandPF programme to support the design of the consultative workshop which will take place in each of the ExpandPF countries by the end of June.

This will involve:

• Reviewing the draft baseline assessment tool and providing feedback to the DCOP.
• Reviewing available HIPs briefs, tools and other resources, particularly relating to the ones tentatively selected for each of the four countries.
• Provide training to the ExpandPF team (DCOP and Scale up Advisors) on scale-up methodologies and approaches for health / SRH in Africa.
• Providing detailed orientation to each of the scale-up advisors on how to deliver the country consultation, including planning, implementation and follow up.

Key Workshop Objectives

• Ensure that participants understand the HIPs and the evidence of their effectiveness in expanding access to FP.
• Agree with participants on the “core” components for scale up (as well as some of the adaptable components that may vary for different contexts).
• Assess the scalability of the HIPs that have been tentatively selected for scale up.
• Agree on and gain consensus on the HIPs prioritised for scale-up in each country.
• Agree on next steps relating to the development of a scale-up strategy.
