Description

International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) works in 170 countries to empower the most vulnerable women, men and young people to access lifesaving health services and programmes. Supported by millions of volunteers and 3,000 staff, IPPF Member Associations (MAs) are autonomous, local non-profit organizations that provide sexual and reproductive health (SRH) information, education and services through 46,000 service delivery points, delivering 208.6 million sexual and reproductive health services across the world in 2017. Services provided include contraception, abortion care, maternal and child health and STI and HIV/AIDS prevention and care.

IPPF is currently seeking a research organization with the capacity to simultaneously implement a rigorous standardised Client Exit Interview (CEI) process across Member Associations (MAs) and country partners in Burundi, Ethiopia, Malawi, Mozambique, Pakistan, Rwanda (TBD), Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, Cameroon, Chad, Cote d'Ivoire, DRC, Mauritania, and Nigeria. CEIs will be used to track progress towards key payment performance indicators for an IPPF-led multi-country Family Planning and Reproductive Health programme and as such will inform strategies throughout the life of the programme.

In partnership with UK Department for International Development (DFID), Women's Integrated Sexual Health (WISH) is a flagship family planning programme to deliver 20% of the UKs Family Planning global commitments. With a value of over £200 million over three years the programme's service delivery budget is set to deliver an additional 2.8m - 4.1m family planning users by end 2020. In working across Africa and Asia to provide a comprehensive package of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), the programme has a primary focus on increasing the number of additional Family Planning (FP) users alongside reducing maternal mortality and improving access to safe abortion. The priority populations include youth and some of the poorest and marginalised in society. WISH is an extremely commercially competitive programme with a specific focus on payment by results.

The successful research partner will have extensive experience conducting rigorous quantitative research simultaneously across multiple countries, and will be experienced in obtaining local ethics review approval in the countries where the research will take place as well as at the global level. Guide price $50k per country per annum.
