Tender Notice – Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) Expert

Rwanda was the first African country to adopt a stand-alone National Palliative Care Policy (2011) and has since expanded access through local oral morphine production, nurse prescribing, PEN/PEN-Plus integration, and CHWs. However, recent assessments show substantial unmet palliative care needs, particularly at community and household levels.

Following revision of the National Palliative Care Policy, essential medicines list, and pain-management algorithms, RBC and UGHE established a Technical Working Group (TWG) to select a Rwanda-fit Holistic Community-Based Palliative Care (HCBPC) model using. The model will undergo a three-month pilot before final adoption.

UGHE therefore seeks an M&E Expert Consultant to work with the TWG to design, monitor, and evaluate the pilot and ensure findings inform refinement and finalization of the national HCBPC model.

To design, monitor, and evaluate the three-month pilot implementation of the Holistic CBPC model; to compile and disseminate interim and final pilot reports; to incorporate feedback from the TWG and stakeholder consultations; and to finalize the HCBPC model write-up in collaboration with the TWG, so that MoH and RBC can make an evidence-informed decision on national adoption and endorsement.

To this end, UGHE, through the Institute of Global Health Equity Research, seeks to engage a qualified individual consultant to design, monitor, and evaluate the three-month pilot implementation of the Holistic CBPC model. The consultant will also be responsible for preparing and disseminating interim and final pilot reports, incorporating feedback from the Technical Working Group (TWG) and stakeholder consultations, and finalizing the HCBPC model documentation in close collaboration with the TWG. These efforts will generate the evidence needed to support the Ministry of Health (MoH) and the Rwanda Biomedical Centre (RBC) in making an informed decision on the model’s potential national adoption and endorsement.

Interested and eligible Individuals are encouraged to submit their proposals in accordance with the requirements and instructions provided in the tender documents.https://ughe.app/eprocurement/index.php Tender Notice #6025/26
