Job Description

Position: Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Consultant

Department: PMI Impact Malaria

Based: Freetown- Sierra Leone

Who we are

With nearly 50 years of experience working in over 60 countries, Population Services International (PSI) is the world’s leading non-profit social marketing organization. PSI is reimagining healthcare by putting the consumer at the center and, wherever possible, bringing care to the front door. We are working to fix market failures, shape future health markets, and shift policy and funding to better support consumer powered healthcare.

There are over 8,000 “PSI’ers” around the world. It’s a diverse group of professionals with an unusually wide range of backgrounds and experience – from the medical industry to the music business – all with unique skills that we bring to the job.

 

Background

PMI Impact Malaria

The U.S. President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI) Impact Malaria project is PMI’s flagship global service delivery project, supporting countries in their efforts to fight malaria and save lives by strengthening diagnosis, treatment, and drug-based prevention for those most at risk—particularly young children and pregnant women. PMI Impact Malaria is a USAID contract hosted and led by PSI as the prime contractor.

 

PMI Impact Malaria is helping national malaria control programs tackle malaria service delivery challenges by working to:

• Close the gaps in malaria diagnosis and treatment to get the right medicine, with the correct diagnosis, to patients in need, in the timeliest manner.
• Unlock the potential of key drug-based prevention approaches by helping countries introduce, implement, and scale-up proven interventions.
• Strengthen malaria health systems and data for decision-making to accelerate service delivery improvements and advance key learnings.

 

The PMI Impact Malaria (IM) team provides global technical leadership along with implementation support and technical assistance in health facility and community settings in up to 27 countries around the world. We are a focused, multi-disciplined, and multi-cultured team based out of Washington DC, working through PSI country offices as well as through our partners Jhpiego, MCDI, and UCSF.

IM has been operating in Sierra Leone since 2018. The project supports the Ministry of Health and Sanitation (MoHS) and the NMCP to implement key malaria service delivery interventions at the national level and across ten focus districts. IM SL supports the NMCP to strengthen malaria case management at the community and facility levels, with an emphasis on addressing severe malaria and MIP, bolstering the national laboratory diagnostics system, and building capacity in the collection and use of data for decision-making.

In Sierra Leone, IM, in support of the National Malaria Control Program (NMCP), seeks to improve Case Management (CM) and prevention of Malaria in Pregnancy (MIP) services through two of the three overall objectives of the project, namely:

 

Objective 1: Improve the quality of and access to malaria case management and malaria prevention during pregnancy.

M&E activities include data compilation, analysis, and use to measure the progress of interventions across all IM SL technical areas and guide the process of evidence-based decision-making in planning, implementing, and monitoring the progress of activities across the project portfolio. Data use informs IM’s recommendations on approaches to improve service delivery. The IM Malaria SL Performance Management Plan serves as the guiding framework across project activities.

The IM M&E team works closely with the technical teams (Laboratory, Case Management, and Malaria in Pregnancy) to develop and finalize the country workplans, support the teams with M&E needs/requests for data analysis and reporting, represent the IM SL team in Technical Working Groups (TWGs) meetings and ensure country-specific indicators align with the approved global project performance monitoring plan (PMP). The team also collaborates with the Government of Sierra Leone National Malaria Control Program, the Department of Planning Policy, and Information and other stakeholders such as Measure Malaria on Data Quality related activities. The IM SL M&E team recently developed the NMCP data quality improvement action plan and shared it with wider stakeholders. The team will start implementing the plan by conducting Districts Data Quality Review meetings in IM SL-supported districts. The M&E team serves as a technical resource for any questions regarding indicators, program monitoring, digital tools (project monitoring system and digital tools for supportive supervision), data management, analysis, and use, in addition to gathering data for internal and external reports and presentations.

The IM SL M&E team will continue to support key activities, including preparing the quarterly and Annual Reports, Technical Reviews, Lesson Learned Workshops, supporting analysis and presentation of project data, and developing M&E-focused learning briefs and blog posts, as well as general M&E support for technical activities, update country PMPs based on new workplans, and promote data use for decision-making.
