THET is leading a scoping assessment of the HRH Nutrition needs on behalf of UNICEF Somalia being undertaken between December 2014 and April 2015 in all 3 zones of Somalia (Somaliland, Puntland and South Central Somalia).
THET has decided to contract out the field work element of this overall project, to ensure that we have the right skills and expertise for this integral element of the project delivery. THET is looking to set a contract with an agency or consultancy to provide a team of 2 consultants to undertake the field work element of the overall scoping assessment, which is described in the attached TOR . The consultant team will need to work closely with the THET Nutrition advisor who will guide the field work and oversee the delivery of the final report plus work with the THET Programme manager who has lead responsibility for programme oversight and the final delivery of the report to UNICEF. The 2 consultants will need to have specific skills, at least one should have a nutrition background and both have expertise in Human Resources for Health development
The field work needs to be undertaken in all three zones of Somalia by the same consultants, who will need to travel to 5 locations in Somalia during the course of the field work.
UNICEF are funding this assessment with the Ministries of Health as the key partner. UNICEF will be taking a lead on actioning the findings with MOH in the zones as part of their 2015/2016 Nutrition programme.
