Scope of Work
Curriculum & Instructional Consultants
Dates: Jun 2021 – Sep 2022
Level of Effort: 81 days (60 days Jun-Sep 2021; 21 days Oct 2021-Sep 2022)
Project: Health Workforce Management Activity Task Order
Report to: IHI Quality HRH Training Specialist
Background
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Health Workforce Management (HWM) activity supports establishing a cost-effective, well-trained, and motivated health workforce in targeted rural and remote areas of Bauchi, Sokoto, Kebbi, and Ebonyi states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). Banyan Global implements the project in collaboration with Abt Associates, the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI), and Solina Health.
Objectives
IHI is leading efforts to achieve Intermediate Result (IR) 1: Quality of health worker training is improved. This effort includes the following sub-objectives:
IR 1.1: Improved pre-service training of health care workers.
IR 1.1.1: Training curricula developed and enhanced
IR 1.1.2: Improved instructor capacity to deliver problem-solving-based curricula
IR 1.1.3: Full accreditation of training institutions
IR 1.1.4: Increased teaching staff development and retention
IR 1.2: Improved in-service training of health care workers.
IR 1.2.1: Improved quality of short-term in-service training
IR 1.2.2: Improved quality of continuing professional development schemes
To achieve these objectives, IHI is:
Forming a Human Resources for Health (HRH) Training Stakeholder Advisory Group (TAG) to oversee, guide, build ownership of, and ultimately take the lead on HRH training reform and continuous improvement.
Conducting a baseline assessment to learn about the current state of pre-service and in-service training.
Using the assessment results to work with Pre-Service Training Institutions (PSTIs) to develop or revise an annual operational plan for improvement.
Providing support to PSTIs and/or other local partners to implement the operational plans.
IHI will engage two (2) consultants to provide input and expertise on Quality Improvement (QI) in support of two sub-objectives:
IR 1.1.1: Training curricula developed and enhanced
IR 1.1.2: Improved instructor capacity to deliver problem-solving-based curricula
Activities
IR 1.1.1: Training curricula developed and enhanced
In Nigeria, healthcare pre-service training institution (PSTI) curricula are designed by professional PSTI regulatory bodies. For this project, these would be the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria (NMCN), and the Community Health Practitioner Registration Board of Nigeria (CHPRBN) for the schools of nursing and midwifery and the schools of health science and technology.
Using the findings from the baseline assessment, our team will work with the professional regulatory bodies to review and encourage the development of a gender-sensitive, youth-friendly, problem-solving-based curriculum that meets service-delivery demands, fulfills accreditation requirements, and addresses health worker attitudes in addition to their knowledge and skills.
The consultants will work with the regulatory bodies and other stakeholders in the review and development of this curriculum to ensure that it leverages engaging learning principles and incorporates topics in leadership, systems thinking, learning from data, and working in teams, with an opportunity to undertake projects to improve aspects of care similar to the realities of service delivery. We also may work with state and federal partners to explore developing COVID-19 training modules.
IR 1.1.2: Improved instructor capacity to deliver problem-solving-based curricula
