Tenders are invited for Consultant Santé Plan StratéGique National (H/F). Closing Date: 22 Dec 2024 Type: Consultancy Context The Ministry of Public Health and Prevention (MSPP) of Chad has set up a Project Management Unit (PMU) by Order No. 420 /PR/PM/MSP/SE/SG/DGRP/2017 of October 20, 2017 in order to meet the requirements of bilateral, multilateral actors and national and international NGOs in the field of health project management. The PMU is responsible for the channelling, management, coordination and programmatic, financial and technical monitoring of projects/programmes in the Health Sector, including Health System Strengthening (HSS), immunization, Maternal and Child Health (MCH), the fight against HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, the promotion of mutual health insurance within the framework of Universal Health Coverage (UHC), etc. To fulfill its mission, the PMU has equipped itself with governance and management tools, including a Strategic Plan for the period 2018 2021. In 2021, the PMU was restructured by Order No. 0082/PCMT/CMT/MSPSN /2021 of June 9, 2021 relating to its mission, its management bodies, its organizational chart and its anchorage was directly attached to the Cabinet of the Minister of Public Health and Prevention with its governance strengthened with a steering committee and an audit committee. But the strategic plan has not been reviewed and adapted to the new missions. In addition, the PNDS3 to which the PMU NSP is attached has been revised with a new PNDS4 which covers the period 2022-2030. The PMU is the Principal Beneficiary (PR) on the TB/HIV/RSS grant of the NFM3, and Co PR on the malaria grant with UNDP and also manages the C19RM grant. The PMU also manages grants from other donors such as GAVI and BMGF-Aligo Dangote. The PMU is preparing to manage the GC7 grants as the PR for the TB/HIV/HSR and CoPR medical part on malaria. For the implementation of all these grants, the UGP works with sub-recipients (PSLS; PNT; CNLS; NGO BASE; UNICEF; NMCP; EPI; CNAL), the Directorates of the MSPSN, and service providers such as the CPA/PPA, UNICEF, WHO. The PMU is assisted in its mission by a DAT (Governance, Procurement and Inventory Management, Monitoring and Evaluation, Finance and Audit) Technical Support Mechanism from Expertise France since 2019, and a Trust Agency (support and control in the context of GAVI and Global Fund grants). Thus, by having its strategic plan as a guide, the PMU has contributed to an improvement in both the programmatic and financial indicators of the Global Fund, Gavi and BMGF. The Office of the Inspector General (OIG) noted in its 2022 audit report that over the past ten years, Chad has gained ground in the fight against the three diseases. On the financial level, the absorption rates of the three Fund grants combined under the New Funding Model 2 (NFM2) (2019-2021) were 88.5%, 92% combined with the UNDP Malaria grant, without ineligible expenses. However, some challenges persist such as staff retention, meeting deadlines, quality of reports, and improving governance. It is therefore necessary to take stock of the implementation of this guide that is the NSP, and to see the new strategic orientations to be given for better efficiency. To do this, the PMU is requesting the recruitment of an international consultant to support it in this task.
