Tender description

DFID intends to award a contract to provide evaluation services for the Reducing Maternal and Neonatal deathin Kenya programme. The service provider will undertake evaluation work for the maternal and new-born health programme through an appropriate package of work designed to: — explore the effectiveness and impact of our maternal health training package, — explore the effectiveness and impact of health systems strengthening, — understand whether providing health systems strengthening alongside training brings additional benefits, — understand the extent to which our maternal health programme was a relevant response to the needs in the contexts in which the programme was operating.
