Strengthening Monitoring Management Systems in IPPF’s Humanitarian Programme – Consultant

Key deliverables

IPPF needs to develop and finalize the toolkit by the end of November 2024, so that we propose to develop the consultancy in two phases: Phase 1: desk review (includes two deliverables) and Phase 2: pilot and development of data management processes and guidelines based on the first phase (includes two deliverables).

As IPPF requires this consultancy to be completed in 2024, we encourage consultants to submit proposals including both phases (desirable). However, it may be possible to consider proposals to complete the desk review phase in 2024 and then finalise phase 2 by April 2025.

Phase 1: desk review

Deliverable 1 – Inclusive SRHiE and SGBV needs assessment tools for use across a range of humanitarian settings (15 days)

Identify accurate, inclusive and most relevant SRHiE and SGBV needs assessment tools which are applicable to a range of humanitarian settings, and lead adaptation to ensure contextual relevance and inclusion of people of diverse SOGIESC, people with disabilities and other marginalized groups (PLHIV, pregnant, adolescents, ethnic minorities) These tools will be used by IPPF’s humanitarian staff and MA frontline staff to identify immediate needs and priority activities to address SRH and SGBV during disasters associated with natural hazards, man-made crises and complex emergencies. The final package of tools should take into consideration international guidelines such as the Multi-Sector Initial Rapid Assessment (MIRA) guidelines[1]; the Core Humanitarian Standard on Quality and Accountability (CHS)1 and the MISP tools [2]

Deliverable 2 – Identify a set of unified indicators to monitor progress on SRH and SGBV priorities across IPPF’s humanitarian programming (Technical document) (7-10 days)

Technical document which includes key indicators that can be monitored across IPPF’s humanitarian programming, considering IPPF key technical core documents (SRHiE including MISP implementation and SGBV), operative modalities (mobile clinics, outreach activities, etc), quality benchmarks and current indicators measured through humanitarian projects (SPRINT), as well as humanitarian (Sphere Handbook) and technical international guidelines (MISP from the IAWG technical group) and specific donors’ requirement.

Phase 2: pilot and development of data management processes and guidelines

Deliverable 3 – Develop data management process and tools (Technical document including annexes and/or SOPs) (15 days)

Identify gaps and improvements in the data management process for IPPF’s humanitarian programmes, considering IPPF’s existing global data management system (DHIS2), which was designed to capture mainly SRHR service-related data. Considering the data management process currently implemented in humanitarian programmes, identify a data collection system (e.g. KOBO toolbox) that will enable the IPPF Secretariat and MAs to produce timely, accurate, gender and inclusiveness-disaggregated data and tailor it to include the assessment tools identified in Deliverable 1 and indicators identified in Deliverable 2, so that it can be rolled out. The system developed should be piloted with sample of MAs in different IPPF regions before finalisation and roll-out.

Deliverable 4 – Develop data system guidelines (10 days)

Develop guidelines and/or SOPs and training materials for the IPPF humanitarian staff and MAs frontlines to use the data management tool. The guidelines will cover roll-out and use of the list of indicators, finalised in consensus with the IPPF Humanitarian team, to be monitored across IPPF’s humanitarian programs and the inclusion of the indicators in the data collection system (KOBO toolbox or other).
