Open to Expatriates: Yes

Location: Freetown, Sierra Leone

Job Description

How to Apply

Qualified and interested individuals should click on the button below to apply.

Background:

Sierra Leone has made significant progress in improving access to sexual and reproductive health services. The percentage of births attended by skilled health personnel increased from 42% in 2008 to 87% in 2019. During the same period, the percentage of women who use contraceptive methods tripled (24% among all women aged 15-49) and 46% of the demand for family planning is satisfied, of 45% is through the use of modern methods. This improvement in access to family planning must have contributed to the significant reduction in maternal deaths (i.e. any death that occurs during pregnancy or childbirth or within 42 days after the birth or termination of a pregnancy) from 1165 in 2013 to 717 per 100,000 live births among women age 15-49, a 40% reduction.

Despite this progress, the unmet need for family planning has been static at 25% since 2013. Twenty-one per cent of girls aged 15-29 will have given birth by the time they are 19. The maternal mortality ratio in Sierra Leone remains one of the highest globally. In order to avert this situation, cost-effective and feasible interventions do exist. However, these interventions require a reliable supply of contraceptives and life-saving maternal health medicines. The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) continues to support voluntary family planning services through its UNFPA Supplies Partnership programme. Alongside the provision of modern methods of contraceptives and system strengthening initiatives, UNFPA supports the conduct of the National Health Facility Assessment on Availability of Reproductive Health Commodities and Services which is the focus of this consultancy service.

The main objective of the survey is therefore to determine the availability of family planning and life-saving maternal health medicines in service delivery points in the country with a view of measuring the progress made as well as identifying gaps so as to inform a more predictable, planned and sustainable country-driven approach to improve the availability, choice, and use of these supplies.

Specifically, the consultant will support the conduct of the 2022 Health Facility Assessment on Availability of RH commodities and Services while ensuring skills transfer to MoHS in the process. The consultant is expected to:

• initiate and lead the development and finalization of the survey protocol and facilitate ethics approval
• Ensure familiarization with and implementation of the sampling procedure and other information, detailing the sample size, a selected facilities, and ensuring the relative weights for provinces, nature of residence and types of health facilities.
• train field staff in the data collection process using Systmapp, a digital tool used to conduct facility based surveys using phones and tablets
• work with the data analyst in data quality and cleaning
• provide technical support in data analysis and reporting on results against the indicators defined in the survey instrument
• write up and finalization of the analytical survey report
• conduct other related tasks as required

• availability and stock out of modern methods of contraceptives
• availability of life-saving RH medicines
• readiness of service delivery points in areas of supply chain, staff training in family planning, staff supervision in RH/FP, availability of guidelines/checklists/job-aids, ICT, waste disposal, and charging of user fees.
• clients perception on their satisfaction with service providers’ adherence to technical (e.g. infomed about side effects) and interpersonal (e.g. treated with courtesy and respect, freedom to choose methods) aspects, organizational aspects (e.g. waiting time, privacy, consultation time), outcome aspects (e.g. intention to visit the SDP again) and appraisal of cost for family planning services (payment for services, travel cost, time spent, source of funds to pay for FP).

Monitoring and progress control:

The consultant will work closely with the data analyst and the Technical Committee for the survey which is composed of representatives from the Directorate of Reproductive and Child Health (DRCH), Directorate of Planning, Policy and Information (DPPI), Directorate of Training and Research from Ministry of Health and Sanitation (MoHS), Statistics Sierra Leone and UNFPA Sierra Leone.
